This coming season, high fashion and street style marry, to produce a look that is both utilitarian and feminine.  Popular runway looks that promote a less feminine vibe are practical shorts, tie-dye, and tailored blazers. On the other end of the spectrum, are over the top bows, puffy shoulders, and ruffles galore. Spring and summer  color trends are favoring empowering colors that reflect fun, joy and confidence. Some of the hot colors include:
