Trend Flash: It’s A Spring Thing….
There are many pretty and wearable trends to which you may easily adapt your present wardrobe for the Spring and Summer season; or try adding some new key pieces to change the look of old favorites. Below are three that are easy to translate to any figure and age!
FLOWER POWER: Prints, especially florals - from delicately drawn flowers, to bold stylized blossoms on multi-color grounds - are to be found everywhere this Spring. They may be worn in any number of ways. If you are not shy, try wearing an allover pattern on a cotton or silk dress. For a more subtle approach, how about pairing a printed floral tee shirt with cardigan or a floral scarf with a lightweight jacket? And with flower motifs blooming on everything from hats to shoes to handbags, you might want to mix and match several of them to intensify the look.
LOVELY LAYERS: The idea of layering clothes has been taken to a new level this season, through the use of transparency over opaque, or of multiple transparencies layered one on top of the other for lightweight volume and color effects. Try a sheer blouse over a bustier or bateau neck knit, or an organza jacket over a fitted menswear –inspired tailored shirt. Think about layering a mesh tank top over a contrast color tank or tee shirt and pairing it with a full cotton gauze skirt and this season’s must–have gladiator sandals.
COLORIFIC: With the importance of prints this Spring, color too, plays a key role in allover dressing, as well as in making a statement in a single component like a blouse, trouser, skirt or jacket. An a-line dress in a bold color like lemon yellow, fuchsia or red, is perfect for a work environment and offers a one-item solution to getting dressed and looking polished, even if the dress is made of a casual material. Try pairing this with a complimentary shaped cropped jacket, in either a bold contrasting color, or a more neutral, grounding shade of black navy or sand. A vibrantly hued bell shaped jacket looks great over a fitted skirt or this season’s important new trouser – which flairs from the high hip all the way down the leg, for a chic, yet comfortable new silhouette. This is especially refreshing after several years of low- rise looks worn on bodies better suited to a more forgiving line! This new trouser has been produced in many fabrics - from dark lightweight denim and canvas, to dressier linens and tropical wools.
