With spring around the corner, it’s time to ditch those boots and warm coats and gear up for some spring fashion. From the New York City runways to the Paris catwalks, designers have their models parading the runway with the go-to styles for spring 2014.
Pastels are the “it” shade of the new season. Choose from a wide array of different hues in coral, blue, green, purple and pink. With top designers modernizing these pastels into elegant and sleek springtime wear, you can wear these colors to the office, for a day out with friends or for brunch without feeling like the Easter Bunny. From chic cropped jackets and sexy pencil skirts to oversized blazers and tailored blouses, pastel clothes will be fashionable in spring 2014. In addition to the pastel colors that will define the season, exaggerated silhouettes, fringe, crops tops and sheer details will all make a strong fashion statement.
Dresses are definitely in, and ladies will have plenty of choices. Fill your closet with 1920s inspired flapper dresses, colorful prints, off-white lace frocks, tribal dresses and elegant tea-length skirts to be right in style. Of course, you’ll need a light jacket, and denim jackets are taking center stage this spring. It’s the ideal piece of clothing to throw over traditional spring clothes like a tank top, shorts and dress. Cropped styles pair well with dresses, and hooded denim jackets are ultra-cool for a more casual look. What colors will you see them in? Acid washes, white and black will reign.
Board shorts are the new pencil skirt and will be found in leather, tweed and silk. This style is ideal for a beach look or surfers on land and will look trendy paired with a denim jacket. Even if you’re going casual, get ready to pile on the jewelry for an au courant spring 2014 look. Gunmetal ear cuffs, pearl, crystal and sterling silver earrings are all the buzz for 2014.
Whether you’re seeking a minimalistic, vintage, tribal or collegiate look this spring season, you’ll find a wide variety of styles to suit your taste. Designers have planned the new looks for gals to define their own personality. Even the most discerning fashionistas won’t be able to complain about what’s on the racks for spring 2014.
