SIMPLE LACE DRESS
Not just reserved for weddings anymore, lace made a big splash on the Runways this year from Christian Dior to Tadashi Shoji to Chloe. Dazzle this Mother’s Day in a delicate lace shift dress or treat Mom to an elegant look with her own lace dress. We love Hale Bob’s great selection of ivory lace dresses from the cotton crocheted lace dress to the embroidered mesh long sleeve lace dress. Try one of this Season’s trendiest styles with a Hale Bob ivory long lace dress with half slip. If you are in the mood for a pop of color, go with Hale Bob’s orange or coral cotton lace dresses or go elegant with the black long sleeve stretch lace dress. Completely versatile, the lace dress is perfect paired with sandals for a day at the beach or throw on a set of strappy heels for an upscale Mother’s Day dinner out on the town.
GINGHAM AND STRIPES
Katie Holmes and “mini-me” daughter Suri pull off two trending patterns for 2015 in matching styles. Katie wears an Altuzarra black and white gingham shirt paired with an “A-line” white skirt while Suri coordinates colors with a striped camisole and matching white skirt from J Crew. Get their similar styles with a Diane von Furstenberg gingham shirt combined with a black A-line skirt from Hale Bob and match your “mimi me” with an Alex and Alexa striped tank and black twirl skirt from Zella Girl. Treat Mom with a Derek Lam gingham pencil skirt and the three of you will rock this Mother’s Day in the top trending patterns for Spring 2015.
BOLD FLORALS
As mentioned in “Trending Prints in Fashion for 2015,” designers this Season have updated the traditional floral print in bigger and bolder patterns. What a great way to try this year’s trend and get Mom in on the look for Mother’s Day. We love Hale Bob’s great selection of floral dresses in every shape and size to suit each and every taste. For casual, check out Hale Bob’s Cabana black floral shirtdress or teal floral maxi dress for a pop of color. Mom will shine in style at brunch with Hale Bob’s floral jacquard tank dress in pink or purple with a flattering ruched waistline, defining her feminine form. Or, go for an “edgy” look with Hale Bob’s black lace floral fitted dress paired perfectly with L.A.M.B. strappy sandals and a sleek black leather clutch from Marc Jacobs.
SOFT GREYS
An alternative to the usual black or white colored style, this Season embrace one of Spring AND Fall’s trending Runway colors. From Alexander Wang to Calvin Klein to Fendi, grey is definitely having a “moment” across the fashion world. With this Season’s new designer styles, this color definitely won’t make you think of your sweatpants. We love Hale Bob’s grey jacquard knit “A-line” dress paired with black heels and a matching grey Diane Von Furstenberg clutch, perfect for lunch out on Mother’s Day. Treat Mom to a little “grey” with Hale Bob’s lace pencil skirt and grey Halston Heritage boatneck top. Or, go casual and stay cool and with Hale Bob’s 5 pocket silver grey leggings and matching grey short sleeved knit sweatshirt from Liberty Garden. Formal or comfy, choose grey this year instead of the traditional black and white.
POLKA DOTS
From Emma Stone’s midi skirt to Diane Kruger’s cropped dress to Reese Witherspoon’s swimsuit, celebrities are jumping on this Spring’s latest pattern trend. Get in on the fun, flirty polka dot trend with a Michael Kors’ polka dot mini skirt, or go longer with a Valentino midi skirt,one of this Season’s popular skirt lengths. Find a “mini-me” version with a polka dot skirt from Dollie and Me or try the cute polka dot sundress from Dolce & Gabbana. Get Mom in on the trend too with a polka dot silk blouse from Hale Bob paired with flowy wide leg studded pants.
RUFFLES
Nothing says Springtime more than a flowy ruffled silk dress. From Nicole Miller to Etros, ruffles dominated the Spring 2015 Runway with a return to femininity and the womanly figure. Surprise Mom with an elegant ruffled dress this Mother’s Day, making her feel beautiful inside and out. We love Hale Bob’s great selection of feminine floral ruffled dresses from ivory satin to taupe ruffled chiffon to black satin. Complete the look with a simple but delicate pearl necklace, drop earrings and a cashmere sweater from J Crew.
BOYFRIEND DENIM
Try one of this Season’s hottest denim trends and go casual with a pair of comfy yet stylish boyfriend jeans. We love the Mystique and Frenzy boyfriend denim from AC Collection.
