Early spring fashion trends

• Leather leggings: I had a pair BCBG leather pants in the late 90s. I thought I was really hot. Now it’s all about leather leggings, leather minis, leather hot pants or just good old leather jackets.

• Harem pants: Fitted from the knees down, but potato-sack-loose around the butt and thighs, jersey or silk Harem pants manage a chic-comfy balance.

• Drape-y jumpsuits: Loose, billowy jumpsuits in solids and prints, pants, shorts and dresses are spring’s romantic calling card.

• Short shorts: The shorts, tights and boots look held through the winter. Come spring and summer, the tights will be banished and French women will flaunt their genetically perfect legs.

• Big patterns: Florals and plaids are sticking around, but the fashion-forward are moving on to bold tribal and graphic prints. Not recommended for wallflowers.

• Leopard print: Love it or hate it, it’s just not going anywhere.
