To the surprise of many, our campus has been graced with a lush green, a flurry of unanticipated blossoms, and buds tentatively emerging from the skeletons of trees. Despite the recent crisp weather, it seems as if spring break’s 70-degree weather has emboldened the student body to shed their layers and venture out in sundresses and sandals, despite the 20-degree dip. We all seem determined to entice warmer weather with our spring wardrobes.
What’s making the sun come out this year?
Colour Blocking: Yes, you can match without combining like colours. Just pair a vibrant hue (or two, or three) with nudes. Be mindful of coordination, but don’t forget that opposites can attract! Here are some ideas:
-
Blue, Yellow, Orange
-
Brown, Pink, Peach
-
Purple, Blue, Teal
-
Blue, Pink, White
-
Coral, Grey, Ivory
Metallics: A silver dress or golden sheath is sure to turn the heads of all who walk by. However, if you’re looking to re-invent an outfit with a simple accessory, a pair of stark heels or a bright purse will surely draw the eye. Some trends to look for are:
-
Metallic eyeshadow
-
Silver heels
-
Large jewellery
Pastels: As always, spring is a time for birth and rejuvenation. Celebrate this with the brightness and innocence of a lavender or coral.
-
Pair with a dark accessory to avoid looking like an Easter egg
-
Wear as an accessory itself to add some vibrancy to an outfit and makes the accessory pop.
-
Pair with a bold print to brighten a statement
Above all, though, be sure to wear whatever you choose with confidence. And a smile- because corny as this sounds, it always is the best accessory.
