Chadwick's, the largest value fashion catalog for women, provides fresh, fashion-forward looks that guarantee style as the air gets balmier this spring. "Chadwick's spring fashions offer lighter fabrics, such as linen, silk georgette and cotton, in addition to a broad color palette featuring this season's natural and nude winners. Our spring collection includes the best of Spring 2006 trends," says Executive Vice President, Janet Emerson. While embracing the classic spring favorites, black and white, leading designers also favored nude and natural tones, such as taupe, moss, and ivory, while paying tribute to traditional spring pastels such as lilac and mint. Stripes and Prints: From thin, vertical chalk stripes on men's-cut preppy blazers to ethnicy-stripes trimming women's knee socks, stripes shocked the spring runways. Polka dots, checks and fun, unexpected patterns also pop off swimsuits and activewear this season. Ladylike Silhouettes: Jackets -- always perfect for both career and casual occasions -- are cut shorter this season and model a variety of stylish features, such as 3/4 sleeves, peplum skirting, wide lapels and stand up collars. After lingering right above the knee for the past several seasons, hemlines have dipped down to mid-calf this spring. Frilly and Feminine Details: Move over winter wools and tweeds! This spring, frills and lacy accents will bloom. Lacy shirts will flatter suits, pom-poms and ruffles will adorn dresses and chiffon will softly drape bare arms. This feminine trend translates into delicate lace trims at necklines and hems on camis and long sleeve tees. Embellished Accessories: The ever-popular fall staple, the stiletto, steps aside each spring for playful espadrilles, wedges and platforms - and spring 2006 will whole-heartedly embrace this trend. Gold, silver and copper metallics, which have been popular for several seasons, continue to bask in their lame glory -- offering a subtle way to sparkle this season. "Chadwick's delivers the essential components for women looking to create their own style, while providing the uniqueness of a specialty brand at a very good value," adds Emerson.
