Spring Fling



Everyone ready for spring?
The start of the Spring / Summer season means its time to refresh your wardrobe.

The short stuff: Hemlines have crept up to shorter than short; in fact reaching the negative. Hot pants, boy shorts, and tap pants are all variations on this shorter-than-short style.
The Laces: No, it's not new. But, like all trends that span multiple seasons, it has evolved. Lace influences for Spring  are more to the classic side with quality antique-style fabrics the key to the trend. 
The Sports: Sportswear takes on a whole new level of cool when it hits trend status. Football inspirations turn tomboy chic to other effortless looks; while Bond girl scuba inspired clothing is the pinnacle of sporty bombshell.
The Prints: No longer must we stick to boring block colours on our lower half, for all varieties of printed pants have made their way onto the Spring runways. Whether floral, striped, abstract, bold or subdued... patterns on pants are giving us new bold wardrobe options for the warmer months.
The Knee Highs: Knee high socks - as well as over-the-knee and thigh high socks - are back as a trend, and the options on how to wear them are many. From the sporty to the sparkly, to layerings of socks over tights; a great pair of socks can add volumes to an outfit.
