Floral & Sheer Accents
Florals are always a spring must-have, but this spring the popular trend is paired with sheer accents. Both feminine and sexy, wear floral prints and sheer accents separate or together.

Global
Take inspiration from world cultures. Rainbow and metallic threads look polished against a slimming black silhouette.

Feminine Leather
Leather worn in pastel colors and unique silhouettes are unexpected and flirtatious. The trend is easily transitioned from day to night by adding jewelry and accessories.

Mad for Mod
Retro patterns and mini shift dresses made a big come back on the runways for spring. The trend works best in simple and slimming silhouettes with colorful patterns.

Optic White
Minimilistic, clean and bold, the color looks great on every skin tone. Make a bold statement by wearing all white or adding a pop of color.
