SPRING IS in THE AIR
Immerse yourself in all the beauty of the spring season—CityCenterDC is here to help you discover it.
Seeking some runway-approved style suggestions? Straight from the Spring-Summer 2024 season, the designer collections were a trove of wearable looks, pieces that feel at once contemporary and classic. We’ve rounded up three of the top trends to give you a headstart on your seasonal shopping list, including picks you can scoop right here at CityCenterDC.
Striped All Over
The perennial pattern that always feels fresh? Stripes, and the SS24 season was proof. A wealth of banded prospects—reimagined shirting, technicolor trench coats, oversized knits and the like—popped up across the fashion month calendar. The most notable versions? Candy-hued skirt sets from Chanel and sunny escape-suited shirt dresses at Louis Vuitton, both primed for the seasonal RSVPs ahead.
Elevated Elegance
You know those style mavens who always manage to look so effortlessly put together without ever trying too hard? That sense of sartorial je ne sais quoi was prevalent in the latest collections. If you can’t quite put your finger on this nebulous direction, let the runways speak for themselves: sophisticated looks at Carolina Herrera and Dior grounded by anything-but-basic white shirting and complemented by a highly practical set of neutral separates. The results? Easeful is every sense of the word.
Lots of Leather
Typically a fabrication that gets a ton of play in the fall season, spring’s iterations of leather statement pieces lend a more structured note to the silhouettes du jour (not to mention a bit of trans-seasonal practicality). A perfect, mushroom-hued moto jacket stood out at Burberry just as a cherry red longline version did at Hermès, while all eyes were on an emerald green suit—mesmerizingly done up in the grounding material—at Ferragamo.
The Tumi Packing Case
When it comes to the most bustling months for travel, March is right up there. And whether you’re taking on a weeks-long transcontinental adventure or seeking a hit of sun and sand before spring gets into full swing, a premium piece of luggage is essential. Tumi’s Extended Trip Expandable 4 Wheeled Packing Case is such a piece. Designed to minimize all your packing woes, its spacious dual compartments—conveniently featuring an antimicrobial-treated shell—means you can take every last necessity with you, even the “just in case” add-ins. Plus, its chic, fluidly contoured exterior is crafted from an Earth-friendly recycled polycarbonate that’s lightweight, flexible and resilient so it can withstand all the rigors of travel. Get ready to set off in style.
CHERRY BLOSSOMS IN PALMER ALLEY
Every spring, CityCenterDC devotees and District visitors flock to see Palmer Alley’s iconic installation: a plethora of pink lanterns floating high over the boutiques, the warming winds lifting them with every breeze. As of this year, a new artistic addition with a storied D.C. history—the cherry blossom—has been elevated amongst these dancing lanterns. Gifted to the city in 1912 by the people of Japan, cherry trees and their breathtaking blossoms represent renewal and vitality, just as the spring season flourishes. But much like the real blooms themselves, this installation is a fleeting one, so carve out some time to immerse yourself in the beauty and snap some feed-worthy pics while you’re at it.
