My City March 2023

POWERFUL PRINTS Bold colors and powerful prints on pants, skirts and tops are back and big. From

‘70s geometric to tra ditional animal prints and gingham – gurrrrl if you’ve got stripes, you’re IN! Color-blocking remains popular as do bold, bright florals (thank good ness we are done with tiny “Little House on the Prairie” looks), and

summery gingham is very season ally appropriate. Stripes are always in fashion and look for hot print trends as a bold fashion statement for spring and summer in 2023.

DENIM EVERYTHING In recent “My Style” articles, we’ve discussed the trending style of wider-leg jeans but look for denim everywhere. No longer is a denim top paired with denim jeans considered the Canadian Tuxedo –

it has become a hot trend! Cute denim ruffle-trim tops, western style denim button-downs and even denim jumpsuits are all trending for 2023. SHIFT in and get in on the styles early this year. The compliments will surely SPRING you into March fashion and beyond!
