Hi there! Are you excited about the warmer weather? Boy, do I know I am! Spring is officially here! Every change of season is quite exciting for a stylist and Spring is my busiest season. It must be because we can’t wait to get our Spring clothes out of the box and put the Winter season behind us. It might also have something to do with the increase daylight and feeling energized!
Today we’re exploring the 7 essential pieces to elevate your style this Spring. I’m going to share with you what I’ve been seeing in the stores and the absolute must-haves for this season. I will also give you some tips on how to style it. Are you ready? Because I’m really excited to help you elevate your style this Spring, here we go!
Sky blue is definitely in this Spring, but we also see brighter and darker hues. Choose a blue that suits your complexion. If you like blue but it doesn’t seem quite right near your pretty face, maybe wear it on the bottom instead or as an accessory. Here are a few examples of my favorites.
Metallics are usually always trending during Christmas however this year it looks like they will stay with us for the Spring. If you like this look go all out with a pair of pants or a dress! If you like the look but don’t like to be too bold about it, choose a nice gold or silver handbag for an evening out or a gold belt to a dress to add just a touch!
That’s a relief! It’s about time this trend comes back. I don’t know about you but I love the look of high heels but unfortunately my feet not so much. A kitten heel is just the perfect height to elevate your style while being comfortable. I would recommend a nude color for the Spring.
A classic, every women should own a white dress for Spring and Summer. You can dress it down with sneakers, and elevate it with a strappy sandal or a kitten heel! Since it’s like painting a blank canva you can accessorize it with colorful pieces to add a bit of personality or keep it classic and pair it with a brown belt.
Who says Spring says rain so why not mix practicality with style! A beige trench coat is definitely a classic, but this year I saw them in a light pink and I really liked that look. There’s something very chic about wearing a long trench coat on top of a dress, it automatically elevates the outfit. Take a look at these options:
If you like stripes you will have endless options this Spring, from dresses, to collar shirts and t-shirts. There’s a reason why they are a wardrobe staples, you can easily transition from day to evening and it always looks elegant.
Girl core is trending this year, so get ready to see a lot of roses, floral prints and accessories decorated with flowers. So if it’s too girly for you, skip this one, but if you want to try the trend maybe start with a floral print or jewelry! If you’re like me well this is your time to shine and stock up!
So there you have it! The 7 essential pieces to elevate your style this Spring! I would suggest to start with a closet cleaning before adding to your current wardrobe. I have a rule when it comes to buying new clothing, if you add one, you get rid of one! That way you get a nice rotation in your closet and no clutter!
