The “It” Factor for Denver: Followers of Tracy Reese will find a new reason to check out her line next season thanks to a collection of simplified spring dresses and sporty separates. Highlights include a cropped, short-sleeve trench jacket in white, a utility dress with drawstring waist and epaulets, and elastic-hemmed skirts with oversized pockets.

The Gist of the Show: Reese sent her usual parade of floaty and feminine frocks down the runway, but she also found a way to work in a variety of sporty pieces while keeping things pretty. In addition to her trademark romantic, floral-print dresses, Reese’s collection includes a mix of bold, citrus-colored florals, earthy animal prints, and a modern, polka-dot pattern in a series of short, A-line or elastic-hemmed dresses, cropped pants, and ruched leggings.
