In the meantime, I know many of us are dreaming of the days we can start going out with friends, out to dinner or even to events we love. So I wrote this article about some of my favorite trends for spring 2020 to keep you inspired.
Be Prepared To Have Fun with
Spring Fashion
As winter is starting to fade away and spring is rolling in, we’re ready to see our favorite flowers bursting with blooms. Warmer weather invites us to spend more time outdoors even if it’s in our own backyard, and not at the beach.
Can you feel the fun in the air? To go along with that joyous mood, I have some fashion ideas to entice you to soak up what this season has to offer.
1. Wear dots. Nothing announces spring like polka dots. Stick to the classic black and white polka dots or look into other color mixes: Black and yellow, Biscay green and pink, or orange and tan. The larger-scaled polka dot is more dramatic, while the small-scaled polka dots can be more sophisticated. Play with the scale of your dots this season. Honestly even mixing two sizes can be fun!
2. Capri pants. You may want some professional style advice to get the right proportions for a great pair of capri pants. For some, knees aren’t always a favorite part of the body to show. The capri pant covers them while being near enough to the knee to show off your shapely calves. It’s a win-win. Capris can be quite fun in funky patterns, or you can choose a pair in a bright solid color.
3. Monochrome dressing. Wearing one color or shades of one color from head-to-toe isn’t a new concept. What feels fresh and new about wearing a monochromatic outfit is the amazing spring colors you can choose to wear it in. We’re probably all familiar with head-to-toe black, white, gray, or tan. But this look becomes very exciting if you’re choosing to wear a color like saffron, orange peel or grape compote. It’s simple: pick a color you love and wear all your outfit pieces in shades of that color.
4. Peplum tops. They are back this spring and if you had a choice of wearing a cropped top or a peplum top, chances are you’d go for the peplum. That silhouette of coming in at the waist and then flaring out over the hips is quite flattering. You can wear this shape if you have a waist, and if you don’t have a definite waist definition, you can use this shape to fake it. Most peplum tops show a more relaxed silhouette: not too tight at the waist. Pair this top with a pair of jeans, and you’re dressed. Talk about easy dressing!
5. Metallics and sequins. You may be someone like me who loves the holidays because you get a chance to shine bright, wearing a metallic jacket, sequined top, metallic flats, and wearing them all together. Well, this season you can wear metallic or sequins on Easter, Mother’s Day, Memorial Day, and any other day. A metallic dress is beautiful for a special occasion. Bermuda shorts that are sequined are another dressy option designers came up with. Metallic shoes and handbags are often perfect solutions for when you wear colorful prints. I love them because they really go with any outfit. We’re still in a time when dressy and casual pieces are worn together. A metallic or sequined loose jacket can add class to any jean outfit. You can choose a silver, gold, or bronze legging to wear with tunic tops. Have fun playing with this idea.
Are you ready to enjoy the new fashion season? I’d love to help you choose some looks that will make you shine. Whether we work in your closet with what you already have or plan to shop for a few pieces to add to your wardrobe, I’m here to help online now or in person when the shelter in place is lifted. Just give me a call.
