Colors for spring will be more seasonal than usual - think sherbet colors - along with white, tan and cream. You'll also be seeing nautical themes with red, white and blue. Coats will be trimmer and shorter with narrower lapels and a flat front as the silhouette. Items to consider are soft coats, lined or unlined. The fabrics for the spring will feature many lightweight worsteds, cotton and cotton blends, silk and linen. Also look for fabrics featuring solids, stripes and many more plaids and checks.
