Why we spotted her: Neha’s edgy take on traditional separates is the perfect example of taking something simple and making it personal. With her delicate features, Neha combines loyal staples like the button-down and a cardigan in a pastel hue with teensy-weensy black shorts, black tights, and trendy lace-up heels to create a look that suggests preppy with a twist rather than overtly girlish and cutesy. A studded bracelet with sentimental value, bought in India, provides the perfect topper to this simply chic ensemble, second only to her demure smile.
