It’s official: that stuffy rule that black and blue don’t mix has been thrown out of the fashion handbook. This is a trend you can easily try out before even hitting the mall. So go ahead an experiment: While cobalt creates a major statement, mixing navy with black gives a subtle depth for a mysterious look.

The 80s and early 90s were a huge reference point for designers for spring. In addition to the popular use of neon, peplum dresses and skirts, as well as oversize jackets over leggings, provided a retro throwback. As for accessories? It’s official. The backpack has returned.

Slashing
Edward Scissorhands was a fab movie but I would never let Johnny Depp’s character near my closet. And I wish designers didn’t invite him to their studios to slash everything in site.

Sheer
Necklines aren’t the only the only things going sheer for spring. I especially like the sheer sleeves—it’s an ageless way to do the trend.
