Yes, I understand that Punxsutawney Phil is a rodent, and not a meteorologist. But was I the only one happy he predicted an early Spring? I’m ready for tribal prints, shorts, sleeveless sheaths, single-sole sandals and pumps, chic mix-and-match patterns, seersucker and linen!

We’ve already told you Emerald Green is 2013’s signature color, but if you’re ready to spring forward fashion-wise, here are the top ten looks for ladies and gents suggested by Arlene Goldstein (Belk‘s Vice President of Trend Merchandising and Fashion Direction) at their recent Spring Fashion Tour:

Women’s Most Wanted:

Bold-print dress (tribal prints are so NOW)
Silky top
Spring jacket (how about a soft motorcycle jacket?)
Fancy pant (try a cropped length in a super-chic pattern!)
Fashion wedge (give your platforms a rest this season!)
Novelty knit
Something lacy (so ladylike!)
New tote (Michael Kors has some great options)

Men’s Most Wanted:

Slim-fit jean (ahem…not skinny)
Novelty short
Preppy shoes (time to break out the boat shoes, fellows)
Prominent patterns
Prepster ties (prepare to see knit ties return!)
Spring sport coat
Tees
Bold stripes
Soft-colored dress shirts
