When you think of springtime, a season brimming with optimism and the promise of fresh starts, what color comes to mind? For us, it’s blue, the shade of serenity: one that inspires us to relish the great outdoors and soak up every second of D.C.’s celebrated blue skies.

Turns out, the promising hue is popping up everywhere at CityCenterDC. Consider the season’s most-wanted style moments, picks that promise to bolster your big plans: aquamarine-tinted shades, glacier-clear outerwear, indigo separates, plus a slew of storied footwear options at Sky Valet shoes. For even more uplifting color, organize a date to check out our ombré lantern installation and DBGB’s hue-imbued menu, both ushering in the cherry blossom festival in their unique ways. So go on, make those plans and feel the sun on your face. It’s finally spring!
