Colors
The spring/summer season presents a variety of colors that are sure to be stylish and flattering for any woman.

Bright colors are making a comeback this year with red-orange and fuchsia taking center stage. Cool, neutral colors may make a splash this summer in lavender and aqua shades. For women who prefer darker tones, brown is predicted to be the new black with trendy colors ranging from rich chocolate to light khaki.
Styles and Themes
Women's fashion will be moving toward stylish and elegant femininity this summer with pants taking a back seat to dresses and skirts. Be sure to stock up on light sundresses in bright colors or chalky neutrals for casual wear and silhouette-hugging pencil skirts for the workplace. The shrug maintains its current popularity and will be a key cover-up in crochet and lace knits.
