Soft And Supple Tailoring Pervades Spring Suits
New York collections favor soft tailoring over rigid lines with hip-length leather belts and long tunic jackets.

Wrap skirts, pleated styles, and trouser looks dominate, in navy, gray, and a range of light colors, with fabrics like hard finish worsteds, gabardine, sharkskin, tweed, and Shetland wool.
