 While the weather forecast predicts colder days to come, the Mercedes Fashion Week has us counting down the days for Summer. Key trends stood out in a number of shows, leaving us excited for warmer days, in preparations for what will be hitting the stores and more importantly our wardrobes.

Here are the top trends that stood out for us here at Pica Lela.
