Spring fashion is bursting with bold colors and big bags

Keep your eye out for bright colors and big totes this spring.

A Macy’s personal shopper, John Bourgeois, named some must-have items for the transition time when the weather warms a little, but you still need layers: moto jackets, short, slim-cut, zipper-front jackets; tote bags, especially winged totes like the Calvin Klein blue bag shown here; trench coats and scarves in vibrant prints and colors; and a white button-down shirt.

The prim throwback shirt can be layered under sweatshirts or short-crop sweaters, and over dresses.
