#1: Punch packing prints!  Florals are in high fashion, with blooms, graphic prints and blossoming geometrics on mix, match… and repeat.

#2: Borrowing from the Boys.  This trend is all about giving androgyny some sex appeal.  They say that he who wears the pants has the power… but even this bit of role reversal has a distinctively feminine feel.

#3: Contrasting Colors.  Of course none are more contradictory than black and white — and nothing is more fresh for this season. High contrast gets even hipper when done with geometric combinations like checks, stripes, chevrons, dots and triangles.

#4: Relaxed.  Easy breezy is beautiful… and comfortable. Silhouettes are kinder this season, with roomier skirts and shirts and more forgiving dresses.  Shirt dresses are an easy way to test out this trend!

#5: A Bit of Peek-a-Boo.  See through is in style – from cut outs to sheer panels, veiled blouses and a lot of the barely there look.  Even accessories are giving full disclosure, with the popularity of totally transparent structured handbags becoming all too clear.
