Before we know i, we'l be reaching for lighter layers and, soon after, cutaway tanks and short shorts (not me specifically, but you get the picture). As you wind up your winter kiting and start looking tothe season ahead, here are afew key trends to keep in mind. * Denim. Look for head-to-toe clcthing and acces sates in colors ranging from white and pale bive to dark indigo and gray. The layering possiblites are infiite. Look for a new crop of deniminspired yorns to get your slated, or create something in white, which never falls to work perfectly with blue. Turn to page 60 fr our tke on the tron, = Sports Stars. Athletic attire (page 40) has gone ‘mainstream, with lots of white paired wih trad tonal reds, navy, sunny yellow and other brights. Sihovettes are comfortable and relaxed with an turban edge. Knit these in cottons and cotlon blends for cool comfort. *Falkiori eolr.
