“We’re coming out of the grays and the winter doldrums,”
says Maria Chapman, store manager of JJ Wells. “Beautiful,
vibrant color is being well received – lime green, pink, tur-
quoise, and yellow. Several bright colors can be mixed in
one outfit. Stripes are very important, whether in a sweater
or knit top, a jacket, T-shirt or tank. The stripes may be ir-
regular, wide or narrow – they don’t have to look nautical.”
“Lace is gaining momentum, trending in skirts and dresses,”
Chapman says. “Lace skirts may be worn with a T-shirt and
flip-flops, or dressed up with a blouse and heels.” Lace is
also showing up in handbags and shoes, and as patterns
in fabric.
While higher rise pants and trousers with wider legs are
trending, lower-rise, straight-leg pants are in style too!
Different body types require different pant and jacket styles.
Trench coats are back – classic and timeless in solids or
more contemporary in printed fabrics.

y now you probably know studies have shown that
drinking wine in moderation can be beneficial to
an adult’s heart health. But what kind of wine is
best in that regard, and how much provides a benefit?
For heart health, choose red, and choose dry, said Hollie
Wendling, online sales and marketing director at Liquor
Mart in Boulder.
“The less sweet the better it is for you,” she said. “The
skins and seeds of red grapes have anti-oxidants called
flavonoids in them. It helps lower your bad cholesterol and
increases the good cholesterol.”
The sweeter wines — most whites and some of the
sweeter reds — contain more sugars and fewer anti-
oxidants. But dryer reds, including common varieties like
Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot or red Zinfandel,
contain the most anti-oxidant properties.
“One 4- to 6-ounce glass of red wine a day can be good
for you,” Wendling said.
In addition, moderate consumption of beer can have
positive health effects, according to studies conducted dur-
ing the recent past. One study published in the American
Journal of Epidemiology found moderate beer drinking in
middle-aged men reduced the study group’s risk of devel-
