The biggest statement for spring is this: the joy to be had from uplifting, positive-thinking, and—perhaps most strongly—wearable fashion. While in previous seasons we’ve been transported by the daring and theatrical flourishes on the runways (matched by those on the street dressing for the bloggerazzi), this coming season, like so many of the best designers, we’re all for a considered sense of urban simplicity, one rendered not through tricky styling or complicated layers but through graphic treatments, architectural lines, and three-dimensional shapes.It’s not that all the dazzle and daring of recent seasons hasn’t been exhilarating. It has. But it’s blissful to see spring is practically styling-free, down to the new no-fuss beauty. The season’s choppy, short hair mimics the unencumbered mood of the clothes. Don’t want to overthink styling every morning? Lop off the locks to just above the shoulder. And the face is natural and clean but unabashedly pretty. (With no makeup to hide behind, spring is going to be a great season for facialists.)
