Spring Fashion
Inspired by elevated surf culture from Montauk to Malibu, the coastal cool trend for the season is cozy and tranquil. Sophisticated silhouettes in a palette of moody blues, crisp whites and neutrals are spring must-haves, as are casual tie-dye prints reminiscent of the sea and natural textures. Crochet, mélange knits and fisherman stitching make sweaters perfect for warming temperatures, especially when paired with laid-back, frayed, high-rise or wide-leg denim. Refined straw, raffia, rope and woven leathers are key materials in accessories. From navy to cerulean and azure, bags, shoes, jewelry and watches are found in a calming array of gradient blues. Stripes and logo detailing with a strong emphasis on denim also give a welcome refresh to accessories this spring, and stackable sets of jewelry add another layer of style. In menswear, confidence is everything. Statement denim is an essential, featuring unique printed patterns and washes. Bold prints take over athleisure as the track suit becomes the go-to for the weekend.
The season’s staple pastel palette also steps into the future with a dose of shine. These softer shades are anything but quiet in everything from chic outerwear to skirts and dresses with longer hemlines. For the ultimate combination of power and femininity, try the pastel suit. A chunky sole sneaker adds a dose of freshness to any of these looks. Intimates also get a feminine update with silky materials in soft pastels and botanic prints. In jewelry, sculpted florals and pastel stones add a touch of light to any style.
