Wear to Where: Spruce Up Your Spring Wardrobe
05.11.11
Printed Pants - Feeling a bit quirky or bold? Forget your solid harem pants or wide leg slacks and go for something with energetic stripes, zippy zigzags and animal prints instead. When donning such dazzling bottoms, make sure to wear simpler pieces up top for maximum contrast. I know, the bold prints might be intimidating at first, but they're seriously worth trying on!
The Flat Platform (aka The Flatform) - A new shoe silhouette has stepped onto the scene, part platform, part wedge, part flat; a marriage of fashion and comfort which might not be for everyone, but its worth a second look. Flatforms can be quite versatile and look fantastic on every woman no matter what height or body type. They’re very democratic and with that added comfort it’s a shoe you could potentially wear from day to night.
Flare Jeans - Nothing beats the leg-lengthening magic of flared jeans, from high-impact retro bell-bottoms to dramatic stovepipe wide legs, they're a time tested silhouette that is flattering to your waistline by balancing the hips while giving you a long lean look. Pair them with a loose fitting top to make your butt and thighs look skinny!
Maxi Dress - A great versatile addition to any wardrobe that’s complementary to any body type. With just a tweak of some accessories they can go from day to evening in a matter of seconds. A definite departure from the classic little black dress, the maxi not only highlights this season’s signature 70’s style but also crosses over into the various spring fashion trends.
Cat Eye Sunglasses - Far from a standalone trend, the welcomed resurgence of the cat eye sunglasses is rooted in the revival of ladylike 50's and 60's fashion, think Mad Men. Looking to find the purrrfect pair, ladies with square or diamond shaped faces should try ones with rounded out edges and a round face can benefit from sharper edges, or large frames that curve upwards subtly. But rules are never really hard and fast, I suggest trying on pairs until you find what works best for your face shape.
Bold Colored Bags - When it comes to accessories this season it's go bold or go home. Make a statement this spring and amplify any outfits with a pop of color, and the best way to do that is with a little arm candy. Scared of full on color? Choose one with color blocking that includes black and other neutrals or go all out with shades of orange, fuchsia, lime green and yellow.
