This spring's deluxe, logo-bedecked clothes will make you feel like part of the jet set -- even if you've never flown on the Concorde.

Dress Reversal

Elegance is back -- and some of the most cutting-edge designers have embraced the ladies-who-lunch aesthetic. Eight new models trade in their downtown style for an uptown makeover.

Jean Pool

Whether you're gallery hopping or window-shopping, denim will take you anywhere. Here are the newest looks -- from a sophisticated trench to tie-dyed jeans -- in the season's most versatile fabric.
