Here`s the view of spring from Seventh Avenue:
– The Bottom Line: Put your hem where you want it, like the designers do. Short reigns but long is the option.
– The Fitted Waist: Gently in jackets and tight over full, flirty skirts.
– The Shirt: Playing itself, especially in white and tied at the tummy, or as shirtdresses.
– Menswear Menu: Vests, pinstripes, necktie stripes and tweeds.
– Ruffles and flourishes: For day and night, from flouncy prairie skirts to rhumba dresses and petticoated party dresses.
– The Pantsuit: Long jacket over wide or narrow pants.
– Stripe it Rich: Wide as an awning or narrow as a necktie, plus polka dots, gingham checks, madras plaids and florals.
– Little Nothings: The lingerie look slinks on with bra and slip-inspired numbers.
– Black and White: The top color combo, along with soft fruit colors.
– Western Omelet: From cowgirls in denim jackets to prairie princesses in long, flounced skirts and saloon singers in long, tight black lace.
– Gold Rush: It`s the precious metal of the season in belts, bracelets and necklaces, strappy sandals and stretchy bodysuits for evening.
– Glamor: Long hair and high heels, even platforms, are back.
