From Classic To Edgy: A Fashion Trend For Everyone

Posted: 3/11/2011

Savvy fashionistas can score the hottest looks at off-price retailers.

(NAPSI) - Savvy shoppers looking to snag the must-have spring trends can get them all for incredible values at off-price retailers like T.J.Maxx and Marshalls. Check out this season’s key looks:

Au Naturel: Subtle makes a big statement this spring. Natural shades of tan, beige, green and gray on soft fabrics can be found in a variety of silhouettes, including utility shirts, cargo shorts and trench coats. Add a flirty twist with sheer layered tops and a nude or beige pleated skirt that falls just below the knee. Make this earth-toned look pop with brightly colored accessories and sky-high wedges.

Feminine and Floral: Try romantic, feminine pieces in watercolor prints that range from rich jewel tones to softer cosmetic shades. Blouses feature ruffles and tiers or crochet and eyelet details. Dresses with lace, embroidery or crocheted accents are a welcome replacement to winter’s bulky knits. For an ultrafeminine look, try a skirt with a long hemline, whether it’s a figure-flattering knee-length pencil skirt or a flowing linen silhouette that falls mid-calf. Finish off these looks with strappy sandals accented with rosettes or ruffles.

Classic American: Chic career looks define the classic and sophisticated American woman. Key elements include separates such as tailored jackets and seersucker skirts, and linen suits and dresses. The classic style goes nautical with novelty stripes and blue and white prints. Denim trousers look sharp and stylish at the office with a crisp blazer and suede or leather pumps. For the weekend, don a comfy and chic pair of boat shoes.

Black and White with Color All Over: White is a classic warm-weather staple and this year it looks fresh and new paired with black and pops of color. The “little white dress” will be popular this season for everything from business meetings to backyard barbecues. White pants or capris can be paired with brightly patterned tunics. Accessorize this look with pearl accents on jewelry and footwear.

Global Inspiration: This look travels the globe in search of saturated spice colors, exotic patterns and unique textures. Key elements include all-over prints, loose-fitting dresses and tops cinched with leather belts, peasant blouses with artisan touches like beading and embroidery and fringed hemlines.

Bold Accessories: Try handbags, shoes and other must-haves in colors from neon to bright white and patterns including stripes or floral prints. Opt for stacks of big and bold bangles in wood, metal or bright, shiny plastic. Make a statement with bold beaded necklaces and belts with geometric closures. Step out in style with espadrilles or gladiator sandals with stones and animal print accents.
