Spring is a time for new beginnings and fresh fashion finds. As the days become longer and temperatures rise, we’re given the welcome opportunity to revamp our wardrobes and add newfound favourites to our closets.
Ahead we’ve rounded up our best style tips and tricks to create inspiring looks for this season and next.
1. COLOUR your wardrobe
Think pink by pairing a candy-hued pullover with wide leg jeans and a matching button front coat or go green for spring with a vibrant sheath dress. While a lightweight knit is the perfect complement to everyday denim, a short sleeve day dress with crested buttons may be just what you need to ace your office look.
2. Meet your MATCH
Have double the fun with a two-for-one look you can style with wide leg trousers or ankle jeans. Whether you opt for a solid-coloured sweater set or a printed pairing, your cozy-chic ensemble will take you from desk to dinner and beyond. To finish off your outfit, slip on elegantly embellished ballet flats or pointed-toe kitten heels.
3. Add FLARE to your denim
Elongate your silhouette with wide leg jeans you can style with a fitted pullover or a breezy blouse. Not only will the extra volume balance out your proportions, making you look taller, but a high waist will have the same leg-lengthening effect. For added style, choose denim with button detailing and finish off your look with pointed-toe heels.
4. A SHIRT DRESS for days
Opt for a one-piece wonder you can complement with a waist-defining sash or statement belt that adds texture and dimension to your look. A button-down front and pockets will provide a sense of ease to an everyday ensemble designed to move with you. Accessorize with minimalist jewelry to achieve understated elegance.
5. Back to BASICS
Explore the versatility of a classic button-up blouse you can tuck into belted straight leg pants or tie into a knot and sport with wide or flare leg jeans. A soft stripe print pairs seamlessly with neutral-coloured trousers, while a denim-friendly paisley motif is the perfect match for blue jeans. Layer on a structured coat or faux suede redingote for timeless appeal.
6. Swap your LBD for a JUMPSUIT
Give your go-to cocktail dress a break by opting for a one-and-done style you can accessorize to perfection. An elegant V-neck and roomy wide leg will lengthen your silhouette, giving you the appearance of being taller. For that extra dash of glam, style your look with a beaded clutch and crystal jewelry that complement your delicately embellished outfit.
7. Exposed: THE HALTER NECK
Flatter your figure in a shoulder-baring neckline, no matter your shape or size. A classic dress with a twisted halter neck will balance out your proportions and elongate your silhouette. As for the finishing touches? Accessorize with a box clutch and strappy sandals.
8. All the FRILLS
Add feminine flair to your look with a ruffled blouse that pairs perfectly with wide leg jeans and trousers alike. Paisley prints and all-over lace designs lend elegance and beauty to everyday classics with enduring charm.
9. A Bright Idea: THE BLAZER
Inject a burst of energy into your classic top-and-pants combo with a vibrant jacket or blazer that's sure to make your outfit pop. Choose a short bouclé style in hot pink or a double-breasted design with gold buttons. Opt for a bold blouse that matches your top layer or go for a contrasting hue for an equally stylish option.
10. Create CONTRAST
Mix dark and light tones for an eye-catching colour palette. Pair a two-toned leafy pattern with white jeans or slip into a jumpsuit with a high-contrast botanical bodice. Remember, nature-inspired motifs are always on trend.
11. Freshly BLOOMED
Accentuate a high neckline with a single floral pin or go for an off-the-shoulder silhouette delicately adorned with organza rosettes. This elegant embellishment looks just as charming on a classic cocktail dress as it does on an effortless jumpsuit.
12. Go for GOLD
Add just the right amount of shine to your look with lustrous jewelry that will elevate everyday staples and statement pieces alike. Whether you prefer a multi-layered chain necklace, textured ring, tiered dangle earrings or a combination of all the above, the timeless appeal of gold is undeniable.
