Spring Forward Tanger-Style for the Latest Designer Fashion Trends and Biggest Outlet Savings

GREENSBORO, N.C., March 16, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Spring is always a great time to revitalize your wardrobe. With the weather changing, you can put away that heavy winter coat, which can sometimes dominate your look during those colder months. Spring is the time to let your inner fashionista shine through. When planning your spring fashion makeover, you needn't let the current economy slow you down and keep you from looking your best. For millions of shoppers each year, a trip to one of Tanger Outlets' 33 centers in 22 states is a fun way to check out all of the latest fashion trends from the top designers and brands, and you'll be guaranteed to be getting a good deal too. The stores at Tanger Outlet Centers are owned and operated by the brands you love, so you are making your purchases direct from the manufacturer and avoiding the middleman (department store) mark ups that can drive up the price of your fashion purchases. Plus, the stores at Tanger Outlets offer a much bigger selection of current, brand name fashions and accessories for the entire family, décor items to jazz up your home for spring and much more. When getting ready to head out to Tanger on your spring fashion foray, keep these helpful tips in mind:

  --  The latest spring trends for 2010 are putting an emphasis on combining
      different clothing elements to come up with new and fresh fashion look.
      First check out your closet to see what items you may want to work into
      your updated spring collection.

  --  Don't be afraid to try mixing and matching styles, colors and textures.
      Retro 1950s and 60s styles are going to be hot. Try pumping up your look
      by adding a bright, flowery top in combination with a white spring suit
      that you may already own. Live a little. It's spring!

  --  Buying on a budget doesn't mean you should have to purchase cheap, poor
      quality clothing. It is much better to invest a little more to get
      quality, brand name merchandise like you will find at Tanger Outlets.
      These fashion pieces will be a better value because they will last for
      many seasons to come and because you are making your purchases direct at
      Tanger Outlet Centers, you'll save more on your purchases too.

  --  Before you make the trip to Tanger, it is a good idea to visit
      www.tangeroutlet.com first. You'll find everything you need to make the
