Think “spring fashion,” and what leaps to mind? Easter-egg colors, feather-light fabrics, and florals (how groundbreaking). But there’s a new mood in the air for spring 2016 — one that mixes a little darkness and decadence in with all those dreamy pastels.

We took this spring’s most inspiring looks out on the town — namely, to the Palm Beach-influenced Paul’s Cocktail Lounge at Roxy Hotel. From Valentino’s gossamer, glass-beaded evening dresses to Dries van Noten’s rich brocade suits, spring’s new chiaroscuro mood makes even florals feel new again.
