Spring/Summer 2018 Trends -Quick Hits Version

Are you ready for your speed-guide to the directions fashion is heading in this spring? Here's all you need to know,  pithy version:
Synopsis: 70's casual glam meets 80's excess meets 90's irreverance
Staying: sport/athleisure, florals, blue denim, ruffles, the trench, oversized silhouettes, strong shoulders, white - both accessories and monochrome
Picking up steam: maximalism - embellishments of many ilks, frills, fringe. Sequins. The 80's (strong shoulders, statement sleeves, embellished everything, oversized silhouettes). Pastels, especially lilac. Yellow is making a comeback. Also clean, strong colors. Not 80's neons, but intense. Plastic-wear. Pearls.
Coloring the above: plaids and checks, logos. Slouchy, low-key 90's attitude (think off-duty Selena Gomez).
