Spring Style
With the weather warming up, Blacks takes a look at what the fashionistas will be wearing this season.
Sporty Looks
There’s a strong athletic influence to casual men’s wear this spring, such as striped polos, nylon jackets, tees and colorful trainers. Top designers like Prada, Gaultier and Yamamoto are showing sporty street looks in high-quality materials.For women, the athletic look includes more leggings (striped like Marni’s), and finely crafted ballerina workout wear (Vera Wang.)
Au Natural
Organics are also in for men this spring, as environmentally safe fabrics and dyes bring a down-to-earth look to daytime dressing. Hot lines include toned-down tees from Edun and light-weight jackets and pants from New York’s Organic.Lightweight knitwear, such as Inhabit’s cotton-linen V-Neck, warms up the eco-friendly casual look.
Short Story
In big cities, short dresses and even shorter skirts are the look of the season. Legs take prominence in Prada’s barely-there satin skirt and Lagerfeld’s silk Lycra briefs.For more modest gals, knee-length frocks are being shows in every variation. Big prints and sleek monotone dresses are the life of the party, shown with high, chunky heels.
