Colors: The spring/summer season presents a variety of colors that are sure to be stylish and flattering for any woman. White maintains its hold as a staple color for spring and summer fashion and is sure to bring a fresh feel to clothing.

Bright colors are making a comeback this year with red-orange and fuchsia taking center stage.

For women who prefer darker tones, brown is predicted to be the new black with trendy colors ranging from rich chocolate to light khaki.

Styles and Themes

Women’s fashion will be moving toward stylish and elegant femininity this summer with pants taking a back seat to dresses and skirts. Be sure to stock up on light sundresses in bright colors or chalky neutrals for casual wear and silhouette-hugging pencil skirts for the workplace. The shrug maintains its current popularity and will be a key cover-up in crochet and lace knits.

Five Must-Have Looks

1. The classic white shirt is coming back as a staple of the spring/summer season. Styles range from sexy, curve-hugging dress shirts to tunic-style swim cover-ups.
2. The trench coat may just become your new favorite jacket for those rainy summer evenings. Try it in a variety of different colors for extra style.
3. For formal occasions, the dress is the premier choice this season. You’ll find dresses in every shape you could hope for, but sleek silhouettes should be the top draw.
4. For the swimwear season, draw eyes and compliments in sheer black and white, rosy pink, and chocolate brown. Be sure to show a little skin with a plunging neckline.
5. To accessorize your outfits, try an over-sized bag with lots of details or bold, bug-eyed sunglasses. These trendy extras are sure to make a fashion statement.
