Parisian designers mixed casual edge with sweet sophistication for a relaxed formality for spring. Twists on classic included slim cut trousers, sporty vests, and structured blazers. Treated denim and shine were applied to fabrics to give contrast to the neutral and beach tone color palettes, while leather took on the bolder hues of red, green and purple for a modish flair. Designers are delivering a casual look in tailored pieces through merchandising by showing button downs un-tucked, pairing loose knit tops with slim cut trousers, and offering edgy sleeveless button down and vest combos. Layered looks are also popular with a major play on cropped bottoms and tailored knee length shorts, setting off a whirlwind of chic modernity for spring.
