EARTH AND SEA AND SKY

Browns and blues, especially tort and navy, are an elemental color blend, balancing water, wind, and earth for crisp and athletic, outdoorsy styles. These looks have a nautical touch, reminiscent of wood decks of boats sailing on crystal blue seas on a cloudless day.

EXPLORING ATHLEISURE

It’s a good time to go for it when it comes to active looks. Sport-friendly “athleisure” trends are trickling from the fields—and the runways—and springing into looks that are suited for the field, the track, and beyond.

➔ POLO SHIRTS. These knit staples of the preppy universe are back in a big way this spring.

➔ PARKAS. Whether climbing a mountain or hiking through the urban jungle, pullover and snap-front parkas are keeping things hot.

➔ SPORTS DETAILS. From materials such as mesh and terry to old-school, side-striped athletic pants, fashion folks on the move are going for style by looking like they just stepped out of a very trendy gym.

➔ FANCY FITNESS. With the likes of Kate Hudson and Stella McCartney designing leggings and other fitness wear, the fashion bar was just reset at a challenging height, and now sunwear and eyeglasses for working out and cooling down have to keep up with the chic.
