Women's fashion trends for spring bring you lots
of looks to choose from. If you like a clean,
crisp look, here are some great ideas for you.
1. Stripes are big: Strips are everywhere this
spring, from casual to dressy tops, to skirts
and pants.
How to wear them: With both vertical and
horizontal strips to choose from, go for the
stripes that suit your body type. Remember that
vertical stripes draw the eye up and down, while
horizontal stripes draw the eye sideways. So if
you want to appear taller and slimmer, go for
the vertical stripes. Needless to say, if you
don't want to appear wider, stay away from the
horizontals.
Layer a striped jacket or sweater over a
simple top and skirt. Or, if you don't want to
overdo the stripes, wear thin stripes in a
blouse or top, and pop a jacket on top. This is
a great business look!
Match your other wardrobe elements to the
color of the stripes, for a chic look. Stick to
simple, classic pieces, and snappy dress shoes,
to complete your office look.
2. Safari is hot: Safari styles are comfy and
chic for work or for play. Basic khaki can be
practical and smart for the office. For a new
look, buy a khaki coat, and add a belt. Snazz up
a safari dress with an ethnic belt, some
metallic shoes or a simple tote bag. Slip a few
bangles or cuffs on your wrist for the look of
the moment.
Tip: Don't go overboard with any accessory,
such as too many bangles, at the office. Keep it
simple for work, and save the added bangles for
the weekend.
