Spring Fashion Trend Inspiration
This year, our springboard for the season came from a surprising source: Japanese woodblock prints. With the San Francisco deYoung Museum's Hokusai exhibit opening its doors in April, we found ourselves captivated by the intricate details and vibrant colors of these historic artworks.
Hunting Cherry Blossoms, Suzuki Harunobu, 1725 - 1770, Page 36, Printer's Eye: Grabhorn Collection.
We were particularly drawn to a book titled "A Printer's Eye: Grabhorn Japanese Woodblock Prints." The way the artist layered pastel greens and oranges to create depth and dimension absolutely stole the show, and it instantly sparked ideas for our own spring collection.
Blooming Trends: A Burst of Florals and Soft Colors
So, what trends can you expect to see blooming at Marree this spring? Here's a look at what's got us buzzing:
Floral Power
Florals are a perennial favorite for spring, and this year is no exception. We'll be featuring a variety of floral prints in our botanically dyed fabrics, from delicate blossoms to bold, statement florals. You’ll see floral prints on scarves of all shapes, from square to long with so many ways to spark up your outfits.
Soft & Sweet Pastels
Taking a cue from the woodblock prints, we're seeing a surge of soft, pastel colors like light blue, lavender, and pale yellow. These calming hues are perfect for ushering in the warmer weather and adding a touch of springtime cheer to your wardrobe. Look for these colors in everything from dresses and boxy tops to wide-leg pants and, of course, our signature scarves.
Jumpsuit Jamboree
Jumpsuits are back in a big way, and we're here for it! This versatile one-piece is perfect for throwing on and looking effortlessly put together. We'll be offering jumpsuits in a variety of styles and colors, so you can find the perfect one to suit your taste.
Beyond the Blooms: Breezy Staples for Spring
While florals and pastels are undeniably delightful, spring fashion is all about embracing a range of silhouettes and textures. Here at Marree, we're incorporating some of the season's hottest trends into our botanically dyed collection, using natural fibers that feel as good as they look.
Boxy Tee
The boxy tee is a timeless wardrobe staple that's having a major moment this season. Its relaxed fit offers effortless style and endless versatility. Pair a Marree boxy tee in a soft, organic cotton with your favorite high-waisted jeans or a flowy skirt for a casual yet chic look. These tees are also perfect for layering under a kimono or light jacket for added warmth and dimension.
Wide Leg Flowy Pants
Embrace the carefree spirit of spring with a pair of our flowy, wide-leg pants. Made from luxuriously soft, breathable linen, these pants will keep you cool and comfortable on even the warmest days. The wide-leg silhouette is flattering on all body types, and it creates a sense of movement and fluidity as you walk. Dress them up with a tucked-in blouse and heels for a sophisticated look, or keep it casual with a tank top and sandals.
Effortless Layering
Oversized layering pieces are another key trend for spring. They add a touch of nonchalant cool to any outfit and provide extra warmth on those days with unpredictable weather. We'll be offering a variety of oversized jackets, kimonos, and cardigans in our signature botanically dyed fabrics. These pieces can be thrown on over a simple dress or tank top for an instantly stylish look.
Look for these trends and more in our upcoming spring collection! We can't wait to help you bloom into the new season with confidence and effortless style.
Scarf Love
Scarves are a must-have accessory for any season, and spring is no exception. They're a fantastic way to add a pop of color or pattern to any outfit, and they can also be used to keep you warm on those chilly mornings or evenings. We'll have a wide selection of scarves in our signature botanically dyed fabrics, so you can find the perfect one to complete your look.
A Farewell to Shibori, Hello to Ombre
While we still adore the shibori effect, we're seeing a shift towards ombrei dyeing techniques this season. Ombre is tricky because you’re layering and creating organic shapes without any tying or pleating. It results in an organic one-of-a-kind look for every piece.
A Sustainable Spring: Style that Feels Good From the Inside Out
At Marree, we believe that fashion can be both stylish and sustainable. That's why we use only natural dyes derived from plants, flowers, and other botanical elements. This not only makes our clothes gentle on your skin but also minimizes our environmental impact.
We hope this sneak peek has gotten you excited about the blooming trends of spring 2024! Stay tuned for more updates as we unveil our new collection, and in the meantime, happy spring.
