If you are going to buy anything to update your wardrobe this Spring, consider the following suggestions:
The absolute “must haves” for everyone, irrespective of body type, age, and lifestyle”:
- Crisp white fitted shirt – to tuck in, belt at the waist or layer with a t-shirt, jacket or piece of knitwear
- Metallic bag – in gold, silver or any metallic shade in between
- Metallic shoes – in either a stacked heel, pretty ballet flat or strappy Grecian thong
- Fitted cropped jacket in a neutral tone – in either white, black, cream, tan, khaki or all of the above
- Knitted wrap dress – the ones that Diane von Furstenberg made famous. Don’t think that you can’t wear one – you’ll be surprised. Try one on and discover how flattering and forgiving they are!
- Long strand of beads – in wood, plastic, metal or pearls… or a combination of these
For the more adventurous among us, feel free to add:
- Fitted knee length trouser shorts – in denim or any neutral stretch fabric
- White pants – fully lined and fairly wide legged
- Vintage ruffle blouse – in a neutral tone, soft flouncy fabric and perhaps made of stretch lace
- Crocheted shrug – finely knitted versions are smarter (we don’t want a repeat last season’s bo-ho chic look)
- Spotted anything – usually best in a blouse, skirt or dress
And for the ultra fashionista:
- Horizontal “jailbird” stripe top – in black/white, brown/white, black/grey
- Short shorts – high on the thigh and worn best with heels
- Wide waist belt – preferably in some sort of stretch fabric for comfort
- High waisted pencil skirt – also best in a neutral tone
- Patent shoes – in a primary colour
Whether you’re a cutting edge girl, or prefer to remain currently classic – it’s important to update your wardrobe every season.
