René Lacoste created a singular casual look for tennis players 75 years ago. Today the company has stayed true to its original vision while expanding to include everyday sportswear—relaxed clothing with a bit of a fashiony feel for good measure. The spring and summer collection embodies the style climate most of us veer toward—we want to look good without thinking about it, and the fabric needs to be comfortable. Take the collection’s white halter dress with a waist-cinching black piped belt or the high-waist cotton trouser with a button-down striped shirt. No accessories needed—just the right attitude.

Heatherette
I’m addicted to lip gloss. I will try any brand, color, and consistency, as long as it’s glossy and slick and makes my lips shine. So when I received the MAC collection by design duo Heatherette, I was thrilled to see a few glosses thrown into the mix. I was even more thrilled when I tried Sock Hop, a gorgeous creamy coral shade that gave me instant oomph and made my skin look a tad tanner. The formula is smooth, with virtually no tackiness, and a simple swipe seems to last right through lunch.
