I hope it
doesn't have anything to do with our collective mood,
but the color of the coming spring season, according to
Neiman Marcus
, is blue.
"It
is all shades of blue, all hues of blue, all depths of
blue, and you can mix your blues," said
Michael Hall
, public relations director.
Taking
its cues from the runway,
Neiman Marcus
at
Fashion Island
in
Orange County, Calif.
, hosted a presentation of Spring 2010 trends last week.
The other
major trend of the season, Hall said, is
"tribal," or multicultural patterns and
embellishments (pictured).
Major
fall trends, such as leopard print and metallics, are
staying put, too.
Here are
other top spring trends, which can be mixed and matched:
—Feminine
draping: Dresses, tops and even foldover pants feature
this soft detail.
—Arm
candy: Feel free to load up the bracelets from your
wrist to your elbow.
—Relaxed
pants: Harem or cargo pants fit this category.
—Nude
shoes: Try a light beige or neutral snakeskin pattern.
—Shorts:
Go super short or try a longer city style. Variations
include tan leather shorts by 3.1
Phillip Lim
or a pair with a cummerbund waist.
—Wedge
shoes: Find a nude pair and you've got two trends on
your feet.
—White
shirts: Look for great cuts, pleats and embellishments.
—Denim
dressing: The hardy cotton twill shows up in dresses and
jackets, not just jeans, this season.
—Novel
T-shirts: Some of these decorated T-shirts have
necklaces built in, too.
