On-Trend: Belk's Top 10 Spring Trends for Women
(Belk is a North Carolina-based, Southern department store chain. No stores in Memphis, but there are stores in Oxford, Miss. (The Galleria) and Conway, Paragould and Stuttgart, Ark.)
1. The Long Skirt - The fashion world is fascinated with new longer lengths. Edgy or ethereal, pleated or trim and tailored, this piece is just waiting for your personal stamp of approval.
2. Striped Dress - Stripes are all the hype, the bolder the better. Bring it on with bi-color and multi-color patterns that deliver high impact and straight forward style.
3. Boxy Top - Shape says it all. East/west silhouettes, exaggerated sleeves and uneven hems are just a few of the architectural details that define this pared down, very modern sportswear item.
4. Openwork - Punctuate any look with something delicate, light and airy. Choose eyelet, crochet or macramé. Bring lace or anything lace-like front and forward. These peek-a-boo textiles may go rustic or refined but rarely take a back seat to any other warm weather fabric.
5. Colored Bottom - Denim goes full spectrum. Optic shock? Absolutely not, but bottoms in bold blues and other hues like red, Kelly green and pink take the lead and fashionistas are following.
6. New Cardi - Style-savvy insiders agree. The cardigan is still fashion’s favorite completer piece. Longer lengths, new shapes and elegant open work refresh this important mainstay.
7. Color Block - Wonderfully modern blocks of color enhance and update any look, any garment. This graphic message magically makes its way to tops, skirts, dresses, shoes and handbags.
8. Wide Leg Pants - Inspired by a romantic 1970’s mood, this bottom invites you to play with new proportions. Count on an away-from-the-body silhouette to marry style and comfort.
9. Fashion Wedge - Find your footing. With unexpected embellishments, material mixes and a range of heel heights, your feet are issuing a fashion alert. The wedge is the shoe that will entice you to buy new.
10. Statement Neck - Spring fuels your passion for fashion with an exquisite array of face-framing necklaces. Magnificent metals, 3-D flowers, tribal inspired beads and baubles--that’s the long and short of it!
