Scalloped Edges
- We’ve seen scalloped edges a lot lately, from last season’s runway to Lilly Pulitzer pieces.
- This season, designers took the trend up a notch with more dramatic hemlines and bold cutouts.

Fringe
- Designers were careful not to cross the line into hippy territory, which can be tricky with fringe.
- Looks ranged from cropped sweaters with frayed edges to a fully fringed skirt reminiscent of the ‘20s flapper trend.

Head-to-Toe White
- Dressing head-to-toe in crisp, white separates was a common trend at Fashion Week and will undoubtedly become a staple this spring.
- Whether you’re strutting down Worth Avenue or sipping a cocktail at a friend’s dinner party, white on white (on white!) is the chicest way to make a statement this season.

Oversized Vests
- This menswear-inspired trend appeared in many runway shows this fall, with styles ranging from romantic pastels to metallic snake prints.
- Here in sunny Palm Beach, blazers in the summer are not ideal. With this loose, sleeveless vest, you can take advantage of the structured style, while still staying cool when you venture out of the office on your lunch break.

70’s Inspiration
- Designers brought back one of the most well known trends of the 1970s: the flare jeans.
- Skinny jeans have had a great run, but the bellbottom is back. Sporting this newly returned trend gives you a laid-back ‘70s vibe that’s pairs well with our relaxed beach lifestyle.

Tropical Prints
- The tropical prints that rocked the runways at New York Fashion week were a far cry from the tacky Hawaiian print shirts your embarrassing uncle used to wear.
- This tropical trend, featuring rich colors and large prints, is right at home in the sweet tropics of Palm Beach.

- This trend not only embodies the South Florida lifestyle of warm weather and beachside picnics, it’s the perfect way to add a fun—yet classic—print into your wardrobe this spring.

Summer Suede
- While suede is generally thought of as a winter textile, designers are shaking up that opinion with the introduction of summer suede.
- This trend, seen in loose-fitting dresses with high slits, translates suede into a warm weather staple, making it appropriate even in South Florida.
