The longer, the better this spring SPRING ‘93 promises to be a reflection of the times — basic and practical in both fashion and jewelry collections. The long skirt, which was popu- lar during the fall, will become even stronger this spring. While short skirts will not be totally abandoned, designers like Calvin Klein and Mondi are featuring silhouettes that are long, loose and flowing. Jewelers should suggest long gold chains, beaded necklaces and strands of pearls to best accent this look. After the highly successful menswear-for-her invasion this past fall, pants will continue to be visible in most collections. Consumers are expected to bs looking for more economical buys, purchasing pant suits and pant separates with loose, fluid trousers that work for either day or night. Jewelry styles show more varie- ty to complement this season’s fashions. Lariat, graduated strands and convertible necklaces, including necklace and bracelet ‘combina- ‘tions, pins and pendants, and re- versible pieces, are very popular. Colors for spring collections are as versatile as the clothes themselves. Neutral tones, such as beige, tan, khaki and off-white, best ac- cent the long, flowing trend, maintaining a comfortable look. Nautical options, from Outlander and Simon Chang for instance, are popular for a breezy, relaxed appearance in both solids and stripes.
