Florals, cold shoulders, and ankle crops, oh my! This year’s spring wardrobe must-haves are bold, beautiful and flattering for all body types. Whether you’re a classic dresser or a trendsetter, our local fashion experts share their top female fashion picks for the season.
“One of the ‘must-have’ looks for spring 2017 is the cold shoulder top. Most women do not like their arms, and this trend gives the opportunity for any woman, no matter what size she is, to be able to embrace this look.”

“The ankle-cropped pant is a very fashion forward piece. It’s a trend that started in Europe, and it lets you show off your bootie or platform sneaker, which we also carry in our store.”

“Off-the-shoulder florals are big this season. Pretty and perfect for spring. The top is diverse – you can wear it on the shoulder or pull it off, and works well with capris for the warm weather.”

“Without a doubt, we see the printed pant and embellished jean as being very strong this season. They are beautiful, fun, and very on trend right now. From Tahiti, polka dot, or rose garden printed slim pants to paint splashed, embroidered or sequined jeans, it’s a stunning look to add into your wardrobe.”

“Cropped, distressed denim is really trending right now. Each pair of AG jeans is hand-finished, giving a one-of-a-kind look that captures the naturally aging characteristics of the denim. The ankle-crop is great for spring and going into summer.”
MELISSA DI MAURO, Owner

“Let’s be honest, a little dress in a fabulous print is the perfect sunny day option! Dress it up with fun glitzy accessories, or top it off with a crop denim jacket for the perfect dress down look.”
