Maguire told FN, "My go-to look this spring will be an uber-comfortable sport sandal paired with a great pair of longer length denim shorts, a vibrant tie dye top and wraparound shielded sunnies."

"Toga Pulla, Isabel Marant, Proenza Schouler and Ganni all nailed it this season. We'll definitely see these throughout the summer,"she added.
Don't worry if you've already invested in the trendy pool slides that came alive during the past two summers, Maguire said the look is still in style. "Bonus points if they're athleisure inspired and a bit sportier,"she said. "Think classic Tevas."

When it comes to transitioning from winter to spring, however, the fashion expert is looking to animal print boots. "I'm obsessed with the modern cowboy-inspired-boot trend that is new for the season," she said. "I'll be wearing them with dresses, jeans and a T-shirt, skirts — anything and everything." She particularly a fan of R13's Harness cowboy boots at the moment.
