The most refreshing trend of the season is bright, bold colors. Work this look by pairing your basic winter neutrals with electric shades that will liven things up.

Sheer Pleats

Between panels of solid fabrics were see-through chiffon or softer fabric layers — a change from heavy winter garments. This look is a subtle but sexy way to update your typical thigh-high split.

Sexy Leather

Leather truly is timeless, but it seems to be more popular now than ever. When shopping for pieces like a pussybow blouse or bodycon dress, switch it up and go for a leather look.

Ladies in Red

Red is the new black, or better yet the best color to pair it with this season. This sultry shade has the most impact in a solid dress, but transforms an entire outfit when worn in separate pieces like a hot blazer.

Print Power

The only rule to wearing prints this season is to mix and match as you please. Pair plaids with stripes, or one indigenous print with another — just go wild.
