Spring 2019: Flared Pants,
Mixing Patterns and More

THIS SPRING’S LOOKS
include high-waisted bottoms,
flared pants and puffy sleeves.

That’s according to Sandy
Edelstein, owner of Grove 121
in Bryn Mawr, who says that
when she buys pieces for her
boutique, she’s not thinking
about the trends. She’s look-
ing for pieces that she likes
and that fit the lifestyles of
her customers.

But trends influence the
designers and determine what
is available for each season. So
even though trends should not
be the most important con-
sideration when choosing an
outfit, Edelstein said, “trends
become something that you
can’t help but be aware of.”
This season, yellow and laven-
der are popular colors, Edelstein
said, as are mixing different
patterns in a single outfit.

When it comes to fit, flared
pants — or bell-bottoms —
have returned. Flared pants
look flattering on women,
Edelstein said. They elongate
figures and balance out hips.

High-waisted bottoms are
also popular, especially for
younger women.

One look Edelstein is partic-
ularly excited about this season
is menswear-inspired clothing
for women. This look, which
might include a blazer with a
more feminine silhouette, is
right up Edelstein’s alley. She
recently, for example, got a
gray-and-white pinstripe suit
for her store. The jacket nips in
at the waist and the pants have
a flared leg, giving it a more
feminine twist.

“You think about almost
men’s shirting but made in a
feminine style, whether it be
nipped in at the waist or having
some kind of a cute detail that
makes it different and cool,”
Edelstein said. “That’s what
I love doing anyways, taking
classic things and mixing them
up a little.”
Menswear-inspired cloth-
ing and flared pants are doing
the best among her custom-
ers. High-waisted bottoms are
