Tolerance. That's the word I use to describe the feel of Spring 2014. As fashion always takes a cue from societal norms, tolerant precisely describes the multitude of trends and non-traditional uses of fabrics and their details.

  

Pastel colors from blush pink to lavender are  the most wearable trend for Spring 2014, with designers creating entire collections in shades of sorbet and nail lacquers following suit. Just have a look at this video featuring the sweetness of Burberry Prorsum's new spring looks

The next uber-popular trend is activewear that goes everywhere.  This "Athleticism" movement includes varsity jackets, exposed midriff tops, luxe leggings, and sweatshirts emblazoned with text and studs.

Heavy metal is what I call the metallics that were featured all over the runways in apparel, shoes and accessories. To flirt with the trend for spring, slip on a metallic accent like a skinny belt from Topshop, or you can go all the way with this gilded wedge sneaker from Puma.

Finally, remember how fringe made us instantly think of Ralph Lauren or moccasins? Not anymore! I love the way Missoni used fringe as a component of construction and not just a detail! Let fringe reign!
