For spring 2011, relaxed luxury is the name of the game. High-waisted trousers, floor-grazing maxi skirts, and sharply tailored separates will still be strong, but for the warmer weather, they’ll be done in dreamy fabrics and sunny hues that recast them with a summer-on-the-Riviera vibe. If you’re itching to get started on next season’s trends, here’s a cheat sheet of trends you can incorporate now:
1) The perfect pair of high-waist wide-leg pants. 3.1 Phillip Lim and Jenni Kayne have timeless, tasteful options to get you started.
2) Bold separates. A print Cut 25 by Yigal Azrouel skirt or a classic Equipment blouse in a right-now hue add interest to a palette dominated by black, white, and camel.
3) Eye-catching accessories in a fearless shade, like bright red or fuchsia. Next season’s colorful clutches, belts, watches, and wedges will have you feeling like Dorothy stepping into a Technicolor Oz.
