MARCHING ORDERS

Lisa Axelson, creative director for Ann Taylor, on the three items every

woman needs this spring. THE TRENCH “My favourite piece for spring is a soft deconstructed trench coat or a sleeveless trench dress, which I wear as a topper with a coordinating

pair of slouchy pants.” THE MESH T-SHIRT “An element of mesh gives your outfit a nod to the sporty trend and looks great paired

with more-feminine separates.” THE SUNDRESS “A fit-and-flare dress shows off your figure in a youthful way. Try it in a print or splashy colour.

I love bright yellow.”
