Whether you\u2019re going by the calendar or by the flowers and sunny skies outside your window, the verdict is clear: Winter has officially left the building. For women, the recent season change means that it\u2019s finally time to pack away gloves, bulky sweaters, and puffy coats\u2026and start sporting a shapelier silhouette! Without a doubt, this spring\u2019s emerging fashion trends will fill your wardrobe with a welcome burst of color and excitement.<\/p>\n
One of the best aspects of warmer weather is the fact that you can finally shed some layers. Spring is definitely a great time to breathe some new life into your wardrobe. However, I also know that from Fashion Week to special magazine spreads, all of the new trends can be somewhat overwhelming. Be careful not to go overboard when you hit the stores, because you don\u2019t want to end up with a closet full of clothes that looked great in theory, but that you really don\u2019t feel comfortable wearing. My advice is to start spicing up your spring wardrobe with a few key pieces that represent some of the season\u2019s most exciting trends and work from there.<\/p>\n
Read on for seven tips to help you look fashion forward while feeling great this spring: Slip into some colored jeans.<\/strong> This season, colored jeans, ranging from mid-tones to neons to pastels, are everywhere. And with so many colors and cuts to choose from, they can be flattering to any body type at any age. I recommend pairing your colored jeans with black or white accessories such as a jacket, tee-shirt, and\/or shoe for an impressive level of sophistication.<\/p>\n Specifically, look for some \u201cTangerine Tango.\u201d <\/strong>According to Pantone, 2012\u2019s color of the year is \u201cTangerine Tango,\u201d an eye-catching reddish orange. It\u2019s showing up in home d\u00e9cor, fashion, and accessories, and the trendy hue can range from peach to red to everything in between. You\u2019ll definitely want to jump on this citrusy bandwagon, so don\u2019t be afraid to put a splash of orange into your wardrobe\u2026or even into your living room!<\/p>\n You don\u2019t have to sacrifice comfort for beauty.<\/strong> When it comes to footwear, flats continue to be very popular for spring and summer. And since there are plenty of styles, prints, and colors to choose from, there\u2019s a flat to fit every personality. Flats are a smart and versatile choice because they\u2019re comfortable and are appropriate for day and evening. This spring, I recommend choosing from popular florals, neons, metallics, animal prints, and even geometric patterns\u2014like squares or dots\u2014as you add to your collection. What you put on your feet really can take your outfit from \u201caverage\u201d to \u201cinteresting\u201d!<\/p>\n Consider wearing white head to toe. <\/strong>Yes, we all look forward to wearing bright spring colors. But sometimes there\u2019s nothing more fabulous than wearing white! Depending on your coloration, look for optic (bright) white or creamy white, and don\u2019t be afraid to wear it head to toe. You\u2019ll stand out, and you\u2019ll exude vibes as light and airy as spring breezes. As an added bonus, creamy white in particular can look great year round. (Forget that old Labor Day rule!) Incorporate some earth tones. <\/strong>Whites and eye-catching hues look fabulous, but you don\u2019t want to go into \u201cbright overload.\u201d In other words, don\u2019t rid your wardrobe of neutrals. Earth tones in particular are making a very sophisticated statement for the spring and summer seasons. I suggest mixing them with white or black for a classic look. You can also pair them with one of the new brighter tones like orange, pink, or yellow. For instance, choosing to put a bright shirt with an earth-toned suit might be the difference between basic and brilliant!<\/p>\n Don\u2019t forget your hands and feet. <\/strong>It\u2019s natural to be focused on clothes and accessories as you shake off the winter wardrobe blues. But as you\u2019re shopping, build in time to get a fresh manicure and pedicure. Polishing up your nails and coating them in a color you love is essential this time of year as you get ready to break out the summer sandals.<\/p>\n Say hello to summer scarves.<\/strong> Scarves aren\u2019t just for winter anymore. They\u2019ve graduated from a way to keep warm to a full-blown fashion accessory! Scarves in lighter fabrics are a wonderful way to add that extra \u201cpop\u201d to your look or to try a fun color without committing to the entire outfit. Plus, a shawl made of linen, silk, or pashmina can even pull double-duty as a scarf or<\/em> as a wrap if it gets cool in an air-conditioned space.<\/p>\n As you bring spring into your closet, feel free to try all of the trends that pique your curiosity. Just remember that the most important aspect of any piece, in any season, is how it makes you feel<\/em>. As long as you\u2019re comfortable and confident in what you\u2019re wearing, you\u2019ll have a renewed spring in your step\u2026and you\u2019ll draw eyes in all of the best possible ways.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Whether you\u2019re going by the calendar or by the flowers and sunny skies outside your window, the verdict is clear: Winter has officially left the building.
