| As the season approaches to pack up our cashmere sweaters, over the knee boots and winter jackets it’s time to think spring style. This spring fashion trends are all about pastels and florals. When shopping for some staple spring pieces the first item to scope out is a good quality silk blouse. Look for soft spring colors and tops with accented cuts that accentuate your figure and trim that displays the playful qualities of the season. Lavender and ash rose will be popping up in all the stores, but don’t ignore pastel blue and greens too. Pair your new silk blouse with an asymmetrical skirt in a floral pattern. The flirty cut adds a statement spring piece that can be worn in both formal and informal settings. To finish off the look pick up a bucket bag. Bucket bags are as they sound, a cylindrical bucket with cord drawstring closure. Try mattandnat.com which offers the vintage bag in orchid, black, cardamom, white, chili and horizon. Their bags also offer a 100% recycled canvas pouch interior. If skirts aren’t your thing you’re in luck because high waisted trousers continue to be hot this spring. Whether you enjoy long, cropped, wide leg or straight leg the high waist trouser is your friend this spring. Pairing the high waisted trouser with a sheer breezy top and a woven mule will finish off the look. While waiting for the summer heat you’ll still need a trendy coat to finish you spring style. A knee length trench coat is the answer. Everlane carries a well-made, durable and stylish water-resistant trench for under $150. Stick to a neutral like black, white, gray or camel when selecting your trench. Once you have your silk blouses in pastels, asymmetrical floral skirts, neutral high waist trousers and staple trench you’ll need to add statement jewelry pieces to round out your spring style. Geometrical earrings are chic and a fun addition. Chain Drop and primitive style earrings also will be seen and worn across all ages groups. Cameo, inlay and enamel bracelets, rings and necklaces in opposing pastels give old world style to even the simplest outfit. So start boxing up your cozy, fuzzy winter gear and hit the boutiques and shops on a mission for your new spring style trends. |
