Fashion
fresh crop
  The look for spring features fitted silhouettes and delicate details - clean, polished styles reminiscent of another era. Look for slimmer, cropper pants in everything from side-zip styles to pencil cut jeans. Trench jackets and trench-inspired accessories will add a finishing touch to any spring outfit. Ice cream parlour-inspired colours like strawberry milkshake pink, sherbert yellow and pistachio green are the hues of the season, reinforcing a feminine look and feel. For men, a woven shirt in a sun-drenched colour layered over a harmonizing T is a bold way to greet spring. Pair this look with an all performance vest, jacket or pants to create an active yet refined look that will take him anywhere this season.


Top Trends for Women
Cropped Pant
Whether they're classic fit, zip capris or pencil cut jeans, spring is all about cropped pants in sherbert colours like milkshake pink and light blue. With cigarette leg shapes that hit just above the ankle, this season's cropped pants have a feminine, sophisticated look.

Trench pink blouse
The easiest way to update your spring wardrobe is with a new shorter trench inspired accessory. The belted trench jacket has a flattering, slim fit that offers a retro look with a modern appeal. The macintosh jacket is updated with delicate details such as a belted collar and flower-print lining. Both jackets pair perfectly with a mini hobo or messenger trench bag; These "go anywhere" bags have brightly coloured enamel snaps, oversized antique brass hardware and flower print interior linings.

Ladylike Looks
Soft colours, feminine fits and delicate details help create the polished looks of spring. From romantic prairie-print shirts and shrunken stretch cardigans, to polka dot and floral-detailed accessories, ladylike looks will be prominent this spring.

yellow T top Layered Tanks and Ts
Tank tops, short sleeve Ts and three quarter length Ts in a rainbow of sherbert hues are layered to create a laid-back look for spring. For a more sophisticated layered look, mix and match fitted knits in cardigan, short-sleeve and tank styles. Gap fitted knits come in a variety of solids, stripes and floral prints and are made of a lightweight cotton with a touch of stretch that's perfect for layering.
