Key spring ready-to-wear shows in four cities—in New York City, London, Milan, and Paris—took place in September, resulting in a fresh crop of clothing trends. Jewelers need to take note in order to stock cases with the right pieces to complement the necklines and silhouettes of the season. Relaxed silhouettes were among the spring 2014 clothing trends outlined in “Fashion Trend Report: 10 Spring 2014 Clothing Trends Jewelers Must Know,” and here are five way to outfit some of those styles.
Relaxed Silhouettes
Spring is all about casual clothes (again). Expect to see softly shaped trousers, shift and slip dresses, shirtdresses, sweatshirts, and streetwear-inspired denim. Nods to these aesthetics can be seen from 10 Crosby Derek Lam, Helmut Lang, Gucci, and DKNY. Accessorize them with a well-placed pendant or cabochon cuts of stones, among others.
