French Dressing

Émilie Casiez Spring Collection

The cute, androgynous, pixie thing isn’t your forte. You end up looking like an Indigo Girl or your prepubescent brother.

Since neither is what you’re going for (and we don’t blame you), we suggest Émilie Casiez’s spring collection.

The French label has the whole Amélie thing down pat, allowing you to casually mix silk and knit pieces with a devil-may-care attitude and come out on top.

Our picks for the season are the insouciant, patterned knee-length dresses. We also love the short-sleeve cardigan in white or blue: It manages a slouchy, thrown-together feel without a hint of sloppy.

Or making you look like a dude.
