If we can’t all fly off to far-flung locations in the wilderness right now, we can still dream by bringing a chic and timeless travel style to our city lives. Safari-inspired silhouettes have been a great investment since Yves Saint Laurent first created his one-off iconic jacket in 1967. This mood returns again and again, season after season, so you’ll never regret these looks as a long-term buy. This spring, look out for the pieces best reimagined for urban living, from canvas jumpsuits with cargo pockets at Sandro, to leaf green leather shift dresses at Kate Spade, and luxe hoodies in shades of sand at Ferragamo.
