year as a versatile wardrobe staple. Both men and women can use this piece in any number of fabrics as a layering item or jacket. Wide-leg pants are having a major moment! Although the skinny silhouette is still around, the straight-leg bottoms have been on the up and up. Wider legs on both pants and jeans is increasingly becoming the new normal. Neon colors have been trending for a few years, and it seems like vibrant colors are here to stay. Such ultra-bright primary
