BIG NEWS IN BOLD PRINTS COMES IN LOUD AND CLEAR IN BLACK-AND-WHITE
It’s no time for shy design. Whisper sweet nothings with a willowy print? No one will hear you. Take a stand and proclaim your presence with a pattern as powerful as it is intricate.

RESTART AT THE BEGINNING WITH THE TRIO THAT FIRST CAUGHT OUR EYE
Red, yellow and blue, unfiltered, unmuted, uncompromised by pattern-like a line of Gymboree clothes for adults, capturing more than the attention of little children.

Dress Whites
IMPRACTICAL, SO VULNERABLE, BUT WHAT ELSE LOOKS MORE LIKE SPRING?
The variety is astounding. White can be innocent, urban, simple or tempestuous, yet must never look bridal or as if you should be taking someone’s temperature.

MORE ELABORATE THAN EARTHY, EACH PIECE IS ONE OF A KIND. JUST LIKE YOU.

Touches of Lace
LESS VICTORIANA, MORE IRREVERENCE, YET WEARABLE ROUND THE CLOCK
Neither overt nor prudish, lace feminizes all kinds of clothing, but what’s fresh is how it no longer mimics lingerie-it's become younger, smarter and sexier.

Loose Dresses
FOR FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT, NOTHING IN THE WORLD BEATS THESE BILLOWING DRESSES. BUT REMEMBER, FREEDOM COMES AT A PRICE.
Taking flight like a trapeze below the bust, this style is heaven-sent for the amply bottomed, thick-waisted or those unable to find the right belt. Be aware: If you’re well endowed, this silhouette accentuates what you may want to downplay.

High-Waisted Skirts

Short Pants
WE’RE SURPRISED THEY’RE STILL AROUND-AND THEY’RE STILL TRICKY
Generally streamlined, more tailored, tending toward higher waists, and appearing a lot less casual, cropped pants and shorts are less a substitute for jeans (even when widening in the thigh) and more an alternative to skirts.
