If the first sign of spring has you ready to toss your pants (and tights) and trot out your legs after a long hibernation, we're with you. But, this celebratory dressing down calls for a bit of a wardrobe refresh — last year's shorts just aren't that exciting anymore. We've highlighted some of this season's key dress trends — from clever sheer paneling to full denim to wonky hemlines — so you can get a leg up on your warm-weather style.
