Spring’s Best Styles Channel Laid-Back Vacation Vibes
Find your luxe getaway wardrobe at Saks OFF 5TH.
Though you might wish you could be in a permanent vacation state of mind, the reality is that real life tends to get in the way. But with spring approaching, toss those excuses aside. It’s time to get out and do everything you’ve been putting off over the cold weather months — dinner with friends, dancing until midnight, visiting that far-off beach you’ve been dreaming of. And you need clothes that match these ambitions.
It’s the optimal moment to add new colors, shapes, and textures to your rotation, and push yourself out of your comfort zone — and into today’s most popular trends. Saks OFF 5TH is the go-to destination for the most relevant pieces from designers you love. From easy-to-style basics to more special statement items, the retailer’s selection of ready-to-wear apparel, shoes, bags, and more is unrivaled. Here, find four trends to help you achieve your best look this spring, plus the Saks OFF 5TH items to match.
Color Pop
Bold shades are synonymous with spring. This season, however, steer clear of primary colors (sorry crimson, cerulean blue, et al) and stick to pastels. Peach hues, light blues (either solid or in the form of chambray), and airy blush tones add a playful touch to any warm-weather look, especially when done in less-expected silhouettes. Think: jean shorts, spring-ready tanks, and chunky sandals.
White Space
Whatever that whole no-white-after-Labor Day rule pretends to be, just forget it. First, white is a neutral that can be worn all year round — from linen T-shirts in the summer to nubby sweaters in the winter. But the best pieces are the ones that can be styled across seasons, and that all comes down to texture. Opt for party dresses in ruched satin or smooth silk, cotton tops that can be layered or worn solo, or shoes that are comfortable, no matter what the weather is outside.
True Romantic
Even the most romance-averse can appreciate the difference thoughtful, feminine details (like floral embellishments, subtle puff sleeves, or a glossy croc-embossed finish) can make. The romantic trend stands out even when it’s just an added accent, but if you’re ready to dive into the look from head-to-toe, stick to a more neutral palette (white, tan, black) for an easier execution.
Out-of-Office
There’s something about going on vacation that immediately makes you wish your entire wardrobe was filled with loud, printed pieces. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Here, tropical leaf prints and hibiscus flowers are made more modern in a muted mix of neutrals, pastels, and brassy tones.
