Shop the Trend: Spring's Edgy Take on Lavender
Pastel pieces are traditionally sweet, but for spring, designers gave one soft shade—lavender—a tougher, cooler spin. Derek Lam offset the pretty pastel with a sleek frills-free leather blazer, while DSquared2 eschewed customary colors and went with a lavender suit. From moto jackets to sleek zip-up one-pieces, shop our favorite lavender pieces that bring the edge.
