Last week the Seattle chapter of Fashion Group International held its annual Spring/Summer trend prediction event at Motif Seattle. Moderated by Kate Neschke (social media marketing specialist at Nordstrom, and FGI Seattle board member), the panel included Lauren Foster (assistant editor at 425 Magazine) and Amanda Zurita (style editor at Seattle Met), as well as our own editor, Rachel Gallaher.
So what should we look out for next spring? The panel predicted that Seattle would embrace the comfort and ease of the sportswear trend. But this trend isn't about your middle school breakaways and weekend-worthy hooded sweatshirts. Instead, combine a chic pair of sneakers with an A-line skirt for an unexpected twist, or choose a looser, sweatpant-inspired trouser to go with a blazer and heels.
It was no surprise to find a very stylish crowd, and here are some memorable moments from the evening.
