Bold Prints and Boy-meets-Girl Imitations
Looks you’ll want this spring involve lush patterns and vivacious colors. They make a statement without saying a word. The look you’re going for: Bold Prints. Wallflowers need not apply. Oversize, lush garden prints and pop-art patterns in flowing silks and chiffons offer a sophisticated, fresh update on the graphic 60’s look of last season.
Wear it with boots and an understated bag, it’s a chic, urban look; with strappy sandals and a clutch, it adds an elegant evening twist. The only rule: keep it simple! The femininity of the fabrics and brazen patterns were made to be noticed. Make a grand entrance at the gallery opening, gala, or friend’s dinner party.
Another would be your trouser chic shorts. They are more playful than pants, this season’s crop has a sophisticated edge, especially when paired with structured pieces on top. The look imitates boy meets girl. This alternative to the skirt has all the style of traditional menswear pants but turns playful when worn with a pair of ladylike heels. Pair slimmer, knee-skimming cuts with fuller, blouson tops; a blazer or cardigan balances flirty, mid-thigh-length shorts.
You can wear them in more places than you think. Darker, more luxurious materials are an unexpected option for Saturday-night club-hopping, while daytime-friendly neutrals offer a charming alternative to the summer skirt suit.
