Spring Forward
Looking to update your wardrobe with fresh ensembles for spring? Consider incorporating a few key pieces such as pleated skirts, printed pants, or tribal patterns that will work well with existing items. For starters, it’s time to think blue — bolds, brights, barely theres, and everything in between. For the semi-adventurous, tribal motifs (in neutral tones) add a dash of pizzazz and can break up the monotony. And skirt lovers rejoice — at Fashion Week, Prada dazzled the runway with pretty accordion pleats. Take it up a notch in leather, which adds edge, but can maintain a classic feel when paired with an elegant blouse. As for menswear updates — we’re excited about the anticipated move away from the super-skinny pant. Designers have begun returning to slightly wider pants, both as separates and in suits.
