The dreary days of winter are dead. Long live the long days -- and short skirts -- of spring.
Experts claim that the thread that runs through the entire season is the trend of femininity.
It's obvious in the floaty dresses with flirty knee-length hems and embellished details. It's apparent in the season's pastel palette -- especially pink -- and sophisticated ladylike skirts and jackets.
More surprising are rugged cargo pants with eyelet blouses, khaki worn with pink, and baseball jackets of satin fabrics.
Even military and safari style jackets have been given a feminine twist.
