Old Line, New Tricks

Ann Taylor's new head designer, Lisa Axelson, was inspired by the label's archives from the '60s and '70s, and how of-the-moment they feel even now. Fittingly, her first collection is filled with simple-yet-fashiony pieces that are fun without running the risk of ever looking dated. Here, three dresses she--and we--are especially excited about:

Dress One: "The flutter sleeves are so pretty--and great if you don't love your upper arms."

TROPICAL WOOL FLUTTER-SLEEVE DRESS, $175, ANNTAYLOR.COM

Dress Two: "This silk charmeuse is very light, so the cascading strips don't add bulk."

TIERED SATIN DRESS, $240, ANNTAYLOR.COM

Dress Three: "Ruffles make this otherwise plain style flirtier, and I like the subtle shine of the fabric."

HIGH-TECH TAFFETA RUFFLES DRESS, $160, ANNTAYLOR.COM
