Breezey pleated skirts made a mark on many a runway for Spring in gauzy fabrications with unexpected design features. From classic shapes to asymmetrical, an emphasis on print and color-blocking made the seasonal standby look new. Take a cue from the collections and look for plays on print for a energized twist.

Sweatshirt Dressing-

Cheers to new takes on the ever growing popularity of the amped up sweatshirt as it makes for one trend you can try anywhere at any budget. And the best part is that you can dress up even a standard gray sweatshirt with accessories and femme bottoms for a look that checks off both comfort and style.

Metallic Matters-

Metallic finishes and fabrications made even the simplest of day dresses radiate with a glamorous sense of decoration. Standout in a sea of pastel this season and look for classic styles whipped up in muted metallics.

Shop Gilt-

Gold  jewels and ornamentation added a sense of decadence to many of the season’s best looks. From Valentino’s heavily ornate accessories to Balmain’s 90′s era chunky chains, going gold is a winning add on for now. So go ahead and pull out your favorite pieces and pile away.

And finally, the shocking return of the Ugly Shoe-
