Spring Fashion: Class Acts

You're sure to get noticed in any one of these stunning springtime looks that embrace florals, rich hues and feminine silhouettes.

While school may be winding down, we took a trip to Venue 1902 at Preservation Hall—one of Central Florida’s oldest surviving school houses—to prove that there is no better time to turn up your style. The arrival of spring means floral prints, bright colors, and accessories that add a little pep to your step. Embrace the season by infusing your look with a touch of sophistication. Go for rich shades of fuchsia, navy, gold and royal purple, and pair feminine pieces with more structured silhouettes. From the office to date night, these styles have you covered—and they’re guaranteed to get you voted Best Dressed.
