Spring Is In The Air

Finding fresh, youthful, fashion-forward apparel brands can be as difficult as the search for the perfect pair of jeans. There are many apparel brands that strive to create cutting edge garments for the twenty-year-old age group, but sacrifice quality in return for cheaper prices. Quality of material and cut is imperative to how the item will hang on the body, not to mention durability and longevity in your wardrobe.

Alice + Olivia's contemporary line strives to target the young city dweller. Their spring collection features a color palette to match the trends presented during this year's spring 2010 fashion week. Alice + Olivia's spring collection captures the season perfectly with sweet blues, royal purples and apple reds that mimic colors found in nature. The line not only fits the 5"9 slim model, but everyone else as well. Their apparel has a versatile look, appropriate at a variety of occasions. Many of the dresses have pockets, which is perfect for a casual, comfortable feel.

Another favorite line for spring is Rebecca Taylor, whose namesake brand is as stylish as the designer herself. The spring collection is focused more on whimsical patterns, including animal prints and a retrospective of polka dots. Rebecca Taylor's dresses and tops are adorned with innocent floral prints in blush colors that don't overwhelm their wearer. Most of the styles are body conscious, appealing to all shapes and sizes.

As the first few days of spring are upon us, fashion has already begun to brighten the streets, with only more to come!
