Are you looking for ways to add color and style to your spring
wardrobe? This season has lots of pretty things to mix and match with
your wardrobe, from flowers to crisp clean styles. You love the
beautiful flower colors, and the bold fun prints.
Here are 7 spring styles and how to wear them.
1Abstract prints: Graphic patterns are amongst
the hottest trends right now. With graphic prints, keep your
accessories simple and classic. Find a bag in a neutral shade, and keep
your jewelry simple.
2Flowers are big this spring, from grown-up
floral dresses, blouses and skirts, to accessories such as brooches and
hair accessories. Don’t go overboard, especially for the office. Choose
one new grown-up floral, and pair it with your neutral separates.
3Stripes are everywhere this spring, from casual
to dressy tops, to skirts and pants. With both vertical and horizontal
strips to choose from, go for the stripes that suit your body type.
Remember that vertical stripes draw the eye up and down, while
horizontal stripes draw the eye sideways. So if you want to appear
taller and slimmer, go for the vertical stripes.
4Safari is hot: Safari styles are comfy and chic
for work or for play. Basic khaki can be practical and smart for the
office. For a new look, buy a khaki coat, and add a belt. Snazz up a
safari dress with an ethnic belt, some metallic shoes or a simple tote
bag. Slip a few bangles or cuffs on your wrist for the look of the
moment.
5Red, white and navy: These colors are always
spring-like and fresh. You can pair red and white, blue and white, or
all three colors. Accessorize navy and white with a pop of red in your
shoes or handbag. Or go for a red blouse or jacket, but keep the rest
of your outfit simple for work, in a navy pallet.
6Crayon colors: Bright bags and shoes are popping
up everywhere, in crayon colors of yellow, pink, green, blue and grape.
Bright bags jump off the shelves in bold clutches or large totes. Avoid
looking like a kid going to kindergarten by choosing your crayon colors
carefully. An inspired green or yellow bag can still look business like
if it has a structured shape. If you work in a conservative industry
such as financial services, keep your crayon brights for casual days at
the office, and stick to classy looks when meeting clients.
7Black and white: The ever-classic black and
white looks serious yet fresh. What's more, everyone can wear this
combo, from fair haired women to those with dramatic coloring. Jackets
and skirts or pants are simple, easy ways to pair black and white for
an instant look that takes you from boardroom to evening.
Buy a black cropped jacket to pop over a crisp white shirt. Add a
feminine note with black and white spectator shoes, stilettos, or
sandals. You can also add a splash of color to your black and white
outfit, with a sleek clutch in lemon yellow, or bright green. Wow -
you'll look put-together and up to date, for office or weekend.
