A Guide to your Spring Essentials

1. Colors/Pastels

   In the Spring things change, the weather gets warmer, the scenery gets brighter and everything looks more alive and our wardrobe needs to as well. Spring is that time that you bring out your bright red, blue, yellow and green pieces without any excuses. Spring is the time that you play with all types of color (even pastel) and just have some fun. There are things more groundbreaking than florals and that is COLOR. You can do this with separate pieces or even matching sets. Spring is the time to have fun because you’re implementing all of the outfit ideas that you’ve been storing since the winter but it was too cold to wear them.

2. Great Jackets

   Even though the weather gets warmer you still need a jacket in many places, despite what some people may think or dress like. As I’ve told you before, your coat or jacket is just as important if not more important than your actual outfit because it’s what people see first and you don’t want to ruin a great outfit with an ugly jacket. You can go bold with bright colors for a jacket, you can do a plastic jacket that is similar to a raincoat which is a very popular trend currently, also leather jackets are perfect for the Spring. because they aren’t super thick and are a bit lightweight. But your jacket is very important always remember that, have fun with it and keep it stylish.

3. Necklines

   There are many different necklines that can be worn in the Spring since the weather is now getting warmer. You can venture into square necklines, v-necklines. turtlenecks, heart necklines, asymmetrical necklines etc. Playing with different necklines allows you to create a chicer aesthetic, it allows you to be able to heighten your outfit choices with just one piece that has some extra detail. Different necklines are very flattering to your shoulders and your collar bone so when you add something with a square neckline on V-neck it allows you to add some simple jewelry as well to create a sultry and alluring look.

4. Materials and Textures (Sheer, Transparent, Rubber)

   Texture and material is an amazing way for you to be versatile in your wardrobe, you can wear transparent pieces, faux rubber pieces like outerwear, ruffles on blouses, leather pieces etc. Also with the Spring weather you can do different textures and materials in bright colors, adding texture to your looks adds depth and layers an outfit. These pieces can also be transferred to different seasons as well because they aren’t always super flowy, when you have different points of an outfit it makes it even better, but you have to make sure that they all come together to make sense.

5. Sunglasses

   Different and very unique sunglasses have been a big trend for the past few seasons. Whether there are the popular tiny lenses or the bigger shades that make a big fashion statement. I am a person that loves sunglasses and will wear them year around, but in the spring you can play with colored lenses and even just stylish shades overall and they are fitting for the season. Sunglasses are that accessory that can turn an outfit to being cute to best dressed. Most times nice sunglasses and a cute bag are the only accessories that I need.

6. Neon

   Neon is a huge trend entering the spring, whether its the neon pink, green, yellow or deep blue. Neon has been lighting up the fashion world, especially the fast fashion world, there’s is a few pieces in everything neon. You can choose to do a full neon look and balance it with darker shoes, a darker bag, or a darker jacket. Or if you don’t want to go full on neon you can chose one or two neon pieces and build your look from there. But this Spring you need to add at least two items that are neon whether its clothing, shoes, a bag, a jacket or sunglasses.

7. Animal Print

   Animal print has been trending since the fall and winter and it is definitely transitioning over to the Spring. Snakeskin is my favorite animal print that I am more than gladly bringing into thus new season. You can do animal print that’s in a quality material and get some amazing pieces, whether its a animal print shirt and pants that can be work together or separate. You can do an animal print bag and definitely light colored animal print shoes are perfect for this warmer weather. Animal print doesn’t seem to be going anywhere so if you don’t have any yet you should grab some, you can get animal prints of good quality for affordable prices.
