Knit Everything

Sheer Layers

"A sheer piece is a modern layering item essential to any wardrobe. Try wearing a sheer top under a vest, blazer, or slip dress. For a more daring and edgier look, layer a sheer top over a bra or camisole paired with your favorite denim and blazer."

Combining Colors

"This season, look for bold colors and color combinations like citrus hues of yellow, orange, green, grapefruit, and cerulean that are guaranteed to add life and excitement to your wardrobe."

Redefined Preppy Pieces

"A modern and unconventional version of preppy wear is trending. Look for quirky combinations that include polo shirts, plaid miniskirts, oversize sweaters, trench coats, and pleated numbers."

Bold Animal Prints

"Animal prints have always been on-trend, but it's all about the zebra and tiger prints this season. Look for abstract patterns and colorful versions of the wild kingdom, from clothing to accessories."

Fringe

"This season, fringe pieces will be anything but ordinary and expected. So prepare to see tassels and twists showing up in a variety of ways."
