Spring is upon us and it is the air of freedom. Now the most pressing question? What will you wear to celebrate when life beyond our joggers becomes a realistic possibility? Most of us will be looking for ways to relaunch our wardrobe with smart solutions that will fit life this period and beyond. Here’s a guide to new period style fixes that ensure you’re ready to take action.
Optimist floral dresses
Whether you’re tempted by bright and bold rose motifs or scattered flowers that evoke misty summer days, floral print is a great way to stand up to your wardrobe in spring. It’s a sure way. The perfect accompaniment to denim or a functional trench coat, a botanical motif will bring a smile to your style game as well. Worn with a slouchy cashmere knit and hiking boots, the floral slip dress is the ultimate park bench or picnic look.
The indispensable white t-shirt
Finding the truth white t-shirt is a bit like finding the right white emulsion for your bedroom ceiling: it’s easy in theory but a really tough job in reality. However, when you choose carefully, you will find a foundation that is credible and transformative enough to add a hint of novelty to even the most lifeless cuts in your wardrobe. Pay close attention to the fabric to find the real thing for yourself – for example, if you prefer an opaque look, opt for thick cotton. It’s also worth taking the time to consider arm length: the ¾ or half arm is a great option for folding. Those who want a classic that goes with jeans should pay attention to T-shirts that promise ‘boyfriend’ harmony.
Denim jacket as a taboo
With the promise of rose gardens and an outdoor revel with friends on the horizon, spring outerwear has rarely been more precious. If you’re tired of wearing the same old puffer jacket, the return of the denim jacket is a throwback to embrace. Look for models that are as large as possible to have room for a sweater or hoodie underneath. And don’t feel obligated to stick with classic blue tones. While a dark green jacket is a great option for flower lovers, a vibrant ecru jacket can evoke that ‘new season’ feeling you’ve been waiting for.
Comfy overalls
Now we’re not done with our sweatpants, but school is back and our diaries are starting to fill with garden meetings, a new perspective on sportswear awaits. A super comfy pair of rompers is a springtime take on this midsole. Now wear a classic tee or breton stripe, then add some jazz with a printed silk shirt and a pair of stylish sandals.
Trend color: Very soft yellow
Do you prefer mimosa or lemon? Does sunlight float your boat? Whatever your favorite shade of yellow, there’s never been a better time to embrace the trendiest hue and let the hue lift your mood. To cheer yourself up this spring, bring your yellow color preference to the middle with muted modules – lemon and indigo are ideal color companions. There’s also a lot of serotonin to be gained from mixing this color with a contrasting print.
A hat to cover it all
The fine tastes of the fashion world love to take a utilitarian accessory and instill in it new-found style credibility. The baseball cap is the latest item to go through this treatment. The hat, which was once the savior of runners, tennis players and school mothers during bad hair days, is now an indispensable accessory of the period. Choose one in a neutral tone and pair it with sneakers and a trench coat for an outdoorsy look that’s deeply rooted in the “now”.
