Minnesota winters are long. We stay in, wrap ourselves in layers and hunker down. So when Daylight Savings Time finally kicks in and the Fahrenheit hits 50 degrees, we have more reason than most people to shed our winter uniforms and bloom.

This spring, there are no hard rules, no clear must-haves or trends. Instead, designers' spring collections either use exuberant color and sumptuous details or focus on muted neo-classics -- a testament to our need for both practicality and escapism. A combination of both should keep you grounded while adding a spring to your step.
