Plus, Lil Nas X makes his runway debut.

On Monday, Stuart Vevers presented his Spring 2023 collection for Coach in New York City. Set on a dreamlike pier, the show followed a narrative style presentation, opening with models leisurely walking the runway, some chatting, others dancing. One was even walking a dog. 

What started out as a beige world of khakis and preppy trenches eased into an exciting lineup of gingham babydoll dresses, distressed knitwear and oversized leather jackets. While the overall color palette is rather subdued, there are exciting moments of color that come up unexpectedly, like in a pair of jelly sandals or in knit patchwork. Vevers' fascination with academia aesthetics continues, as seen in the Mary Janes, letterman jackets and satchel bags seen throughout.

At Coach, the sandal appeared with both men’s and women’s looks and was styled with plenty of leather to toughen it up. The sandals also came with coordinating PVC clutch bags, also done in bright colors to provide further punctuation to the dark neutral ready-to-wear.

Millennials have been waiting for an excuse to get back into jellies. Coach just might help make the trend a reality next spring.
