SPRING FLING
The time we’ve all been waiting for is finally here, so get ready for shorter hems and brighter gems!
Who else feels like spring can be tricky when it comes to new wardrobe picks? Weather tends to fluctuate from high temps and clear skies, to brisk breezes and thunderstorms.
Nonetheless, this years spring colors are especially fun, and all about stand out hues. As restrictions finally loosen up around the world, “fashion freedom” is becoming more and more prevalent. Society has found itself in an “anything goes” kind of attitude towards personal style. Kind of like a “live it like its your last” mindset.
Minimalists, dont fret- there is still a ton of tailoring carried over from last year for you to bask in! Neiman Marcus’s Fashion and Lifestyle director Lisa Aiken even shares that there’s a refreshed focus on a staple blazer, as well as tailored Bermuda shorts and vests.
So what does this mean for Spring 22’s hot ticket items? Lets take a look at the seasons hottest trends to help guide your next shopping trip.
