Along with the arrival of fresh air and blooming flowers, comes colourful fashion, in attempt to reflect the enlivening season ahead of us. The traditional coming of spring brings bold, vibrant hues, and soft, muted pastels. However, who says we have to stick to these guidelines? For Spring 2013, more designers such as Calvin Klein, Saint Laurent Paris, Ralph Lauren, and Michael Kors all incorporated head to toe black looks into their collections. Not entirely for an all black look on a hot day? Another relived trend brought back to us this spring, is the classic two-toned black and white look. Black for spring translates to classy, chic, sleek, and sexy. Push the boundaries along with us.
