A lesson in class

Ring in the New Year in colorful separates designed to take you to town and back to school — or office, if you’re so inclined — in a snap.

Kamiseta’s latest collection readily transports even the most blasé of shoppers into a preppy world where pastel hues are the epitome of cool and striped shirtdresses are what you wear before segueing into PE.

“When you experiment with color,” says NY designer Chris Benz, “it just changes your mood.” We couldn’t agree more.

Slip into a bright pink day dress and suddenly you experience an insta-glow, like you’re ready to conquer the world — or even calculus.

Tackle chemistry in an abstract floral top and yellow jeans.

Find your inner chess master in a cotton twill blazer and a checked blouse with a peter pan collar. Ponder theological and philosophical dilemmas in a boho peasant top with embroidery and a wooden bead necklace.

Work through French verbs in a striking black and white blouse, black cuffed shorts and monochromatic accessories.

The common thread between all these brightly-hued ensembles? They’ve all been engineered to take you through school with more than a little class. — Bea Ledesma
