An Insider Look at This Season’s Hottest Fashion Essentials

Longer days and warmer weather are finally here, and that means it’s time to pack up your winter coats and break out those spring/summer staples. After a year cooped up inside, though, you may be eager to refresh your wardrobe with the most sought-after sunny essentials of the season. Luckily, you don’t have to go far to find them.

Boston’s fashion experts know, if you’re on the hunt for the hottest new trends, your first stop should be the luxury shops at The Heritage On The Garden. It’s no wonder the iconic Boylston block has become a shopping destination for finding exclusive pieces from the top fashion houses in the world. And that’s not all. After an afternoon spent shopping, visitors can also dine outside on the long-awaited, newly expanded patio at Bistro du Midi, one of Boston’s most celebrated restaurants, known for its French cuisine inspired by New England’s coastal region.

“Bistro du Midi has been such a special part of Boston’s dining scene for more than a decade,” said Chef/Partner Robert Sisca. “We are so happy to welcome our guests back and introduce everyone to our elevated look and feel. Our patrons have enjoyed our thoughtful and elevated dishes and desserts at Bistro du Midi with unparalleled views overlooking the Boston Public Gardens for years, and we are thrilled to continue that tradition.”
