This year’s spring fashions signify a return to nature, full of organic textures, botanical elements, and soft colors. In the following pages, spring’s trends are stripped to their essence, accented with pale metallic accents, soft pleats, and relaxed, architectural shapes.

The New White Shirt
The Oxford shirt gets a re-do in spring’s deconstructed styles, as designers got creative with this staple garment.
