It’s getting close to that time of year when you retire your chunky knit sweaters, long winter puffer jackets, and wool scarves. If you’re like me, you have begun browsing your favorite clothing websites for a spring wardrobe update. Whether it’s shoe shopping or finding that staple sundress, the search is on. But before making any commitments within your shopping cart, it’s nice to know what fashion bloggers and magazines are saying about trends that were modeled on the runway during spring fashion week.
Spring is a time for color! Brighten up your cozy and gloomy winter wardrobe with soft pastels and bright colors. Designers’ collections during spring fashion week incorporated citrusy and vibrant colors like:
· Emerald green
· Yellow
· Hot pink
· Orange
· Especially cobalt blue.
As for patterns and styles:
· Don’t be afraid to show a little more skin this spring by wearing tops and dresses with translucent panels.
· It may be a strange idea, but collage and mixing prints on pants, tops, or dresses are a new style you should consider trying.
· As always, stripes ring in the spring and summer season whether it be nautical or black and white.
· Branching off of the black and white contrasting stripes, black and white contrast in anything is a must have for this spring.
· If you’re feeling adventurous Bermuda shorts and short suits are trends you will most likely see in fashion magazines in spring (yes, I do realize that Bermuda shorts may bring back some middle school memories).
So, that’s all nice to know if you’re into what’s trendy, but when it comes to applying these hot spring colors and styles to your own wardrobe you may need a little guidance. Below, are looks I threw together based on the some of the styles and colors for spring. Happy shopping!
