This spring, fashion comes together with
bright colors, florals, and bold patterns. The
spring trends are a bouquet of beautiful
patterns and prints, with jolts of color from
electric yellow to brilliant red and magenta.
Khaki and neutrals balance the picture, and are
practical and chic for the office or for travel.
As the weather
warms up, you can just feel yourself coming
alive in the dappled light. Here's how to get
the most of these beautiful trends:
1. Spring
bouquets: an artist's bouquet of flowers awaits
you, with multicolored flowers scattered
everywhere. Billowy poppies, bold graphic
flowers, and mixed florals adorn frock of all
types. Meanwhile, flower pins, flower print
chintz open-toed shoes, and flower appliqué
sandals compete for attention. Keep your flower
to one clothing item or accessory to avoid
flower overkill.
2. Color shock
ruled the runway, in vivid hues in everything
from long, hippy-type flowered gowns to summer
dresses where a bright jolt of color fades to a
pale color. Flaming colors such as orange and
electric blue are sure to awaken us from our
winter doldrums!
3. Khaki and
neutrals are a natural choice for trekking into
spring and summer. Safari jackets, shirts and
accessories such as attaché bags and tote bags
complete the look. Updated for the 21st century
urban adventurer, the safari look is classic
travel wear for women and men. Its hallmarks
include patch pockets, epaulets, belts and
buttons. Since the natural look is also big now,
this natural color is popular and practical.
Just be sure to call it taupe, sand, or khaki -
anything
