PERSONAL STYLIST TIPS: HOW TO TRANSITION YOUR WARDROBE FROM WINTER TO SPRING WITH EASE

As the weather warms and the days lengthen, it’s time to refresh your wardrobe and make the transition from winter to spring. Layering is key during this seasonal change, and the right clothing can help you stay stylish, comfortable, and prepared for unpredictable weather.

Start with Lighter Layers

While winter clothes often focus on heavy materials like wool and fleece, spring calls for lighter fabrics that still offer warmth and coverage.

Consider swapping out thick sweaters for lighter knit tops or long-sleeve blouses.

A classic trench coat is perfect for layering and can be worn over almost any outfit, from dresses to professional pantsuits.

Adding lightweight scarves or shawls can also provide extra warmth during the cooler mornings and evenings while still allowing you to maintain a fresh, springtime feel.

Incorporate Spring Colours into Your Wardrobe

Spring is the time to embrace soft, refreshing colours that symbolize renewal. Think pastels, light neutrals, and floral prints. Swap out your deep, moody winter hues for shades like lavender, pale blue, mint green, or soft pink.

If you prefer a more neutral palette, consider warm tones like light beige, camel, or light grey, which still give you versatility but with a fresh, spring-inspired twist. Adding a few colourful accessories, such as scarves, handbags, or shoes, can also instantly transform your look from wintery to spring-ready.

Embrace Transitional Fabrics

Spring often brings fluctuating temperatures, so it’s important to choose fabrics that are breathable yet still provide some warmth. Lightweight cotton, linen blends, and silk are excellent choices for layering. For your workwear, a lightweight blazer in a neutral colour can easily pair with both winter staples like wool trousers and lighter spring pieces like a cotton blouse.

Similarly, consider swapping out your thick winter boots for ankle boots or loafers, which will still provide coverage but feel more seasonally appropriate.

Revamp Your Footwear

As we step into spring, it's time to put away those heavy winter boots and make room for lighter, more breathable footwear.

Opt for chic loafers, flats, or ankle boots that can easily transition from office wear to casual outfits.

You can also incorporate a pair of classic sneakers for a more casual look that still feels polished.

If you love dresses, now’s the time to break out strappy sandals or open-toed shoes, ensuring your footwear matches the weather and your overall spring vibe.

Layer Smartly with Lighter Outerwear

One of the easiest ways to transition from winter to spring is by layering with the right outerwear. A light jacket, like a denim or leather jacket, can work wonders in keeping you warm without overwhelming your outfit. A structured blazer can also elevate your look for the office and is versatile enough to pair with dresses, skirts, or trousers.

A lightweight cardigan or a stylish vest can be the perfect addition for those in-between days when the weather’s unpredictable. By adding the right outerwear, you can stay stylish and comfortable no matter what spring weather comes your way.

Transitioning Your Wardrobe Is a Confidence Boost

As the seasons change, so too can your wardrobe. Transitioning from winter to spring gives you the opportunity to explore new textures, colours, and styles.

Together, we can develop outfits that will leave you feeling confident and ready for any occasion, no matter the weather.

PERSONAL STYLIST TIPS: SEASONAL WARDROBE TRANSITIONS: TIPS FOR SWITCHING YOUR CLOSET FROM WINTER TO SPRING

With a new season comes the thought of changing up your wardrobe. For me, I tend to keep my wardrobe seasonal, so I can easily work through my wardrobe and create outfits without having to filter through the pieces that don’t work for that season. If you want to switch your closet from winter to spring, here are some of my top tips to help you do this.

TAKE OUT THE HEAVIEST LAYERS FROM YOUR WARDROBE

Starting with the heaviest winter garments in your wardrobe, you’ll want to remove them and neatly put them away ready for the future winter. I also recommend cleaning the garments and securing them in a vacuum-packed bag so they are fresh as soon as you bring them back out.

If you are living in a country that can trick you into thinking there will be warmer times ahead, as I do, then you may want to keep 2-3 of your favourites for the chillier days!

While you may be thinking about your jumpers and knitwear being the heaviest garments in your wardrobe, you may also want to consider removing the thicker layering items as well – such as thermals, thicker socks & hosiery, as well as heavy winter coats.

FRESHEN UP YOUR WARDROBE amp; LAYOUT

There is no better time than a new season to freshen up the way you organise your wardrobe. If you are finding that you are moving around and constantly trying to create looks with your wardrobe, you may want to take everything out, clean out the wardrobe, and consider a new layout for the garments within.

I did this recently with my wardrobe, where I was finding it difficult to find trousers and jeans, and I decided to move them to the higher row. I swapped these with my tops and jumpers to the lower level, which maximised space and helped me pair up tops and jeans easily as they were above and below one another!

You can even go as far as segmenting the garments in your wardrobe by colour, occasion, or length – or mix and match them together! For example, my day dresses are nearer the front of my wardrobe as I wear them more regularly, while my special occasion wear is further back. This is so I don’t have to push through items I wear less to access the pieces I wear more often.

GO THROUGH YOUR SPRING PIECES

If you had put away your spring/summer pieces last year, before you put them back in this year’s wardrobe ready to create outfits, you’ll want to make sure they:

• Still fit your body – there’s no point “saving” pieces that don’t fit your body. Put them in a charity pile and release them from your wardrobe.

• Still suit your personal style – you may have had some changes to your personal style over the past year, do these garments still suit what you love to wear?

• Still align with your lifestyle – if you have changed jobs, had a change in your daily life, or simply need different pieces to align with your routine, don’t keep items in your wardrobe that no longer suite your lifestyle.

When you have cleared out any items that fall into these three categories, you will have a clearer view of what you have ready for the new season.

CONSIDER ADDING NEW PIECES

If you needed to get rid of a few pieces, or if you simply want to freshen up your outfits with some on-trend garments for the new year, now is the time to go through what you do have, and consider new pieces that will work with your current wardrobe.

While I suggest capsule wardrobes and sustainable shopping, there’s nothing quite like adding a few key pieces to your wardrobe for that new season that feel fresh and fun.

• When you are thinking about adding new pieces, you should consider:

• Do these pieces I want to add work with my current wardrobe?

• Can I create more than 1 outfit with this piece?

• Will this garment still feel great in a year or two?

• Is this piece for a specific event, or do I want to wear it over and over again? (if it is just for a one-off event, could you consider renting the piece instead?)

While we can be swooned by a new season, trends, and new pieces in our wardrobe, all too often I see clients with packed wardrobes of pieces that they wear once (or not at all) because they thought it may work but it just doesn’t align with their lifestyle, personal style, or current wardrobe. Before you click “buy” really consider if the pieces you want to invest in will fall into these categories.

If you are looking at your wardrobe and think now is the time to make your wardrobe reflect your true personality, and help you create outfits with confidence, I’d love to help.

PERSONAL STYLIST TIPS: FASHION TRENDS FOR SPRING 2024 AND DRESSING FOR YOUR BODY SHAPE

Understanding our body shape is not just about embracing who we are; it's also about empowering ourselves through fashion choices that highlight our best features. As we step into Spring 2024, it's the perfect time to refresh our wardrobes with the latest trends while staying true to our unique silhouettes. Let's explore the fusion of fashion and body positivity to create looks that exude confidence.

But before diving into the spring trends, let's revisit the fundamentals of body shapes. From Triangle and Inverted Triangle to the Neat and Full Hourglass, each silhouette tells a unique story.

Rectangles boast balanced shoulders and hips with a straight waist, while Ovals embrace curves around the middle. Meanwhile, Triangles and Inverted Triangles play with the interplay of wider hips or shoulders, defining their distinctive contours.

Let’s explore the upcoming trends and how these can complement the different body shapes.

Spring 2024 Fashion Trends

Let's unveil the top trends dominating the Spring 2024 runways and explore how to tailor them to your body shape:

1. Crisp Lines and Geometric Patterns:

• Angular Body Types (such as Inverted Triangles, angular Rectangles and Neat Hourglass) can embrace structured shapes and geometric patterns to complement their features.

• Top Tip: Opt for crisp fabrics and constructed silhouettes to add enhance your look. Embrace stripes, checks, and angular designs for a modern edge.

2. Soft Fabrics and Romantic Patterns:

• Curvilinear Body Types (Like Full Hourglass, Triangle, and Oval) thrive in soft, fluid fabrics and romantic patterns that enhance their natural curves.

• Top Tip: Choose fabrics that drape gracefully over your figure, such as silk and jersey, viscose or soft knitwear, and embrace floral motifs, paisleys, and polka dots to complement your body features.

3. Deconstructed Shapes and Fluid Layers:

• Oval and Curvilinear Rectangle Body Types can explore deconstructed shapes and fluid layers at the top, to create the illusion of longer torso, and create interesting looks without adding too much unnecessary volume.

• Top Tip: Opt for cardigans, waterfall jackets, and wrap tops in soft, flowing fabrics. Keep the lines straight and simple to flatter your silhouette.

4. Short Shorts:

• Inverted triangles can add volume to their lower half with shorts that have larger pockets or are a paper-bag style; while hourglass shapes can taper in at the waist with a belt.

• Top Tip: Pop on a pair of tights in the same colour as your shoes to elongate your legs, or pop on a pair of nude shoes for the same effect.

5. High Rise Trousers:

• Super flattering for many body types, this high rise trouser trend can be worn at work or for play. For triangles, opt for a wide-leg that glides down past your hips; while for rectangles and inverted triangles you can opt for a cargo-style pant to add some definition to your hips.

• Top Tip: if you are wearing a wide leg or baggier style, look for a tighter top to bring you in at the waist.

6. Metallics

• Depending on your skintone, you can play with rose gold, silver, gold, or bronze. As a general rule of thumb, gold tones are best for warm-toned skin, while silvers complement cooler tones.

• Top Tip: You can go all out with the trend and dress up in a metallic gown (perfect for a special night out), while touches of the trend can be added to your look through accessories such as hair bands, your purse, shoes, or layering.

Dressing for Your Body Shape

Now that we've decoded the trends, let's discuss how to dress for your specific body shape:

• Neat Hourglass: Emphasise your defined waist with clothes that highlight your mid-section and natural overall proportions. Opt for waist-defining pieces and avoid shapeless garments.

• Full Hourglass: Follow your body's natural curves with soft, flowing fabrics and gentle silhouettes, while enhancing your waistline. Avoid heavy or stiff materials that may constrict your figure or oversized and boxy shapes that would add unnecessary volume, hiding your natural body balance.

• Oval: Create the illusion of verticality with long coats and jackets, and create vertical lines with your clothes. Choose straight clothing lines and soft fabrics to minimize bulkiness around the middle. Focus the attention to your face and top bust, and to your legs and feet through the use of colours, accessories, and jewellery.

• Rectangle: Add subtle details to create the appearance of curves, and go for shapes that create the illusion of a longer bust. Minimise the details and volumes at the central torso, while focusing on hip and bottom with colours and details.

• Inverted Triangle: Highlight your hips and bottom to balance your silhouette, playing with fabrics, volumes and details, while keeping your shoulder details minimal and opt for clean, sharp lines in your clothing.

• Triangle: Draw attention to your upper body with voluminous shapes and bold patterns and colours, as well as accessories and jewellery, and balance your figure with structured tops and more streamlined bottoms, to complement your curves. Waist is usually very defined in triangles, so highlight it as much as possible, as your point of strength.

As we embrace the fashion trends of Spring 2024, let's celebrate our individuality by dressing for our unique body shapes. Whether you're a Triangle, Oval, or anything in between, confidence is the ultimate accessory.

Remember, fashion is not about fitting in; it's about standing out and owning your style with pride.

So, let's step into the new season with a renewed sense of self-assurance and flair!

PERSONAL STYLIST TIPS: HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR DRESS STYLE

It’s spring here in the northern hemisphere, and with that, comes spring wear. For many, that can mean bringing dresses out from their wardrobes and putting away their thick jumpers.

If you want to bring more dresses to your wardrobe, but are unsure which styles will be best for your body shape, personal style, and requirements, then now is a great time to play with the options available. I have shared a guide below to help you choose your dress style, with some top tips to elevate your look & confidence.

What patterns & colours to choose for your dress:

Patterns and colours are a great place to start when selecting any garment, but in particular a dress. As a dress can usually be most of the outfit (unless you are covering it with something like a jumper or a t-shirt) the pattern tends to be all over. This means it can be a little overwhelming for those who are in the more natural or classical style personality – you can read more about the different personalities and find out which one you are in my blog, here.

If you do fall into the more pattern-averse personality, then I recommend a neutral colour to start with, and a simple pattern such as florals, small polka dots, or one with a minimal pattern repeat. Another option is look for a dress that has more than one pattern on it to break up the look, if you wish. If patterns are too much for you, then select a colour that is within your colour palette, and you can pair with neutrals from your season with your accessories.

If you are more dramatic or creative personal style, then you can look for more abstract or outstanding patterns that work within your colours. There are some fantastic patterns to look for with dresses on the high street, and let your creativity run wild! A patterned dress can also work well with a pattern clashing jacket or shoes, which will continue to showcase your style preferences. You could even pattern and colour clash with your accessories like your bag and shoes.

What dress shapes to look for

The shape of a dress can accentuate certain parts of your body, so depending on where you love to accentuate, you can look for a particular style. Often, I recommend styles based on body shape, as these can be the best options to highlight your shape, and these are general guides, but when you find a dress shape you feel your most confident in, I recommend trying out different lengths and colours to build your dress wardrobe!

With that in mind, here are some of the styles and body shapes they can look best on, to help you get started.

Pear shape (or Triangle) – Separates and Wrap dresses

Pear shapes are those with smaller shoulders compared to your hips. You go in at the waist but have wider thighs. This is why dresses that showcase your waist and glide over your hips can make you feel more confident.

Separates dresses come with a waist cut that will help highlight the waist (which is usually defined in this body type). I’d recommend looking for one that has a gentle flare that starts at the waist. I’d also recommend either looking for an all over print, or one that has no print on the bottom. A square neckline or sweetheart neckline can also bring the eyes upwards and showcase your waist and chest (if you wish). On the contrary, details on the top (such as frills, flounces, off shoulders) will help you accentuate the shoulders.

Wrap dresses work in a similar way, but focus even more on accentuating your waist. Look for a wrap dress that is patterned all over or in one colour, and with the additional v-neck shape, they are a great option for those who want to showcase their chest.

Hourglass - bodycon and belted dresses

An hourglass shape are those who go in at the waist and have similar shoulder and hip ratios. Most dresses that go in at the waist are best for this body type, in particular bodycon and belted. You want to highlight your smaller waist in any way, and using a belt can do this too.

With a bodycon dress, you will be highlighting your whole body, its curves and balanced proportions.

With a belted dress, depending on the length of your torso, you’ll want to look for a specific size of belt. Some of us have longer and some have shorter waists. But in general a slimmer belt can be a great option just to bring you in at your smallest point. Another option is to find a dress with a belt in the same fabric as the dress, so it highlights your waist but doesn’t detract from the style.

Apple or Oval - Empire & tunic

Apple shapes have broader shoulders than their hips, with a larger bust and waist compared to their, generally, slimmer legs. This means you’ll want to highlight your legs, and potentially have a dress shape where the waist is higher up, or glides over your waist.

Empire style dresses have a high up waistline, usually just under the bust. This is great for your shape as it will highlight your bust line, and then go out below the empire line. If you want to feel a little sexy in this style of dress, look for an empire dress that has a shorter hemline, or truly showcase your bust with a square necked style.

Tunic style dresses are great for the summer months and for a more relaxed style. They are currently very popular, and were also very popular in the 60’s – think Twiggy!

Rectangle – straight lines & shift

Rectangle shapes tend to have a minimally defined waistline, and are more athletic in their shape. This means the best looks can either work to create the illusion of a more defined waist or look for a dress that falls straight from the shoulders down.

Straight dresses are great for rectangle body types as they keep the details minimal at the waist, and they're also very versatile, so depending on the hem length, you can wear them for anything from work to dates.

Shift dresses can be a more comfortable style for you to wear, with it having less of a shape it can be a good option for running around, comfort, and feeling confident!

Inverted triangle shape – shift or a-line

Inverted triangle shapes are those who have broader shoulders than their hips. This means the best shapes are those that add volume to the lower half to balance out lines of the body.

A shift dress is a great option if you are an inverted triangle shape and want a comfortable, easy to wear dress. If you can find one with a defined or ruffled hem line, this is also a great solution!

Alternatively, an a-line dress with volume at the bottom will be a lovely dress for this time of year, and if you prefer a longer hemline this will be a great solution if you look for a midi or maxi dress. Patterns on the lower part of the dress, as well as ruffles can be another way to add definition to your lower body.

There are a lot of options out there, as you can see, when it comes to dresses. I hope this guide has helped inspire you to add a few new styles to your wardrobe to enjoy during the warmer months! If you are unsure which styles and colours work for you, and you want to boost your confidence every day with tools and insights that work for you and your personality, I’d love to help.

PERSONAL SHOPPER TIPS: SPRING OUTFIT INSPIRATION 2022

Spring is such a beautiful time for inspiration for our wardrobes – out go the grey and dark days, and in come the beautiful colours of pinks, purples, greens and yellows.

If you are looking for what to wear this spring and how to add a touch of colour, then here are my personal styling tips for your spring wardrobe!

Adding colour with your shoes

One of the fun, effective, and most approachable ways to add colour to an outfit, in my opinion, is through the shoes! Why? 

Because you can choose to show just a flash of the shoe when you are wearing flares or longer jeans, or show off the full shoe when you wear skirts, cropped jeans, or dresses – which are a great outfit choice for the warmer days. With these shorter hemlines, you can truly bring out your colour personality, but without feeling like you have overdone it with the outfit.

From finding a pair of beautiful heels in a spring-perfect green or pink, to wearing a pair of sneakers in a bright orange or pattern you love, the world is your oyster when it comes to colourful shoes available. 

To truly show off your beautiful shoes, you may want to try out cropped trousers or jeans! 

What I love about cropped jeans is that they not only allow you to show off your favourite shoes, they are also an easy to wear item that still feels fashion-forward. If you prefer to wear trousers or want to try out the cropped look at work, you can find several styles of cropped trousers in a variety of colours. 

Why not go all out and bring in the springtime with a pair of cropped culottes in green (Spring 2022's top colour choice!) or even a pattern (best if your body shape is wider at the shoulders to bring definition to your leaner legs). 

Adding a colourful spring bag to your outfit

A colourful bag can be a great way to transform a more neutral look, as it isn’t taking up your full body, but brings just a spark of colour to the look.

When looking for a colourful bag, you'll want to make sure it is practical as well as beautiful. Consider what you will be using it for, which items you need to fit in the bag, and where you want to wear it (will it be an "every day", "work", "special occasions"?) this will help you find the perfect bag for you.

A few spring bags to add to your wardrobe are this gorgeous pink and orange small shoulder bag for just carrying your essentials; this Kurt Geiger rainbow shoulder bag; or this slightly larger crossover pink bag from Aldo.

Colourful clothes for spring

We're now onto the big addition to your colour journey - the clothing!

When you want to bring those springtime feelings to your wardrobe using colour, you can truly transform your mood with the colours you bring to your outfit. 

If a full suit is perhaps a little too much, why not try a skirt? While I love dresses, and if you feel the same way, I'd recommend adding a spring dress to your wardrobe at this time of year, skirts are often overlooked!

Spring/Summer 2022 runways saw the return of the mini skirt, and if you are ready to try out a trend that feels young, and fresh, then I'd highly recommend getting a mini skirt for this spring. Whether it's an asymmetrical orange skirt or a quirky colourful patterned a-lined skirt, now is a great season to try them out. They will help you embrace & get used to the shorter hemline as you can wear tights if you would feel more comfortable.

If miniskirts just aren't your "thing" then a midi skirt matched with a tee or a blouse is also a fantastic option to add to your spring wardrobe. Try a multi-functional option in a colour block or even a pleated easy-to-wear option to throw on and upgrade your jeans and a tee style this spring.

Depending on your style, you can pair it with a pair of heels, platform trainers, or even combat boots - and you'll feel ready to take on the sunshine. 

Admittedly, it can seem daunting to create a fully monochromatic outfit with a bright colour, so take gentle steps if you're someone who is new to the colourful game. Tone down a suit with a neutral blouse underneath, add a neutral tee to your colourful skirt, or wear a colourful jacket over a neutral outfit below. 

Start by finding the colours of spring (greens, purples, pinks, oranges) and then make sure they are in your colour wheel, and then enjoy the springtime vibes!

If the changing of the seasons is a daunting time for you, and you’d love to welcome them with open arms, or an updated wardrobe that you can treat yourself to with confidence, I’d love to help. I provide a bespoke personal shopping experience to help you find the right pieces to add to your current wardrobe, or even a personal styling session so you can discover your personal style.

PERSONAL STYLIST TIPS: HOW TO WEAR GREEN THIS SPRING

Spring/Summer 2022 trends have come in and one of the top trends is the use of green. Green is a great colour, as not only is it a colour that feels fresh and springlike, it is also available in a variety of tones so can work for any skintone, as long as you find the right shade.

If you want to add this colour to your wardrobe and ensure that you pick up the perfect shade for your skintone, here are my top picks for you depending on the season you fall into.

How to wear green as a Spring

If you are a Spring – someone whose undertones are just like spring – bright, varied and with light features, then you want to find a bright or vivid spring green to add to your wardrobe. This is because the fabulous bright tones steer clear of those darker, muted tones that tend to drown you out.

Green pieces to add to your wardrobe as a spring

If you want to add pieces to your wardrobe in this on-trend colour, that works perfectly for you, then designers have a large selection of options for you. If you are on more of the tentative side and just want to add a little splash of green, then an accessory such as a bright green bag could be the perfect option for you. Whether it’s a designer piece such as this beautiful Mini Jodie bag by Bottega, or for a high-street option, this bright green shoulder bag from River Island is a quirky and bright addition to your wardrobe. The great thing about adding colours through accessories is if you want to keep more neutral with the rest of the outfit, you can do so. With bright greens, whites and creams are best to match, and they are best for your brighter skintone, too.

For a little more green to your look, you can add green with your trousers – wide leg trousers are a classic, while becoming more popular this year. They work perfectly for workwear, meetings, or casual brunches, depending on how you style them. Again, look for bright or light greens for your skintone. These bright, turquoise green, high rise Ted Baker trousers are a great option for you, or you can head to Nasty Gal for a pair of warmer green wide leg trousers. Match with your platform trainers for a more casual look, or heels for a more professional style.

How to wear green as a Summer

Summers have soft and cooler undertones, with pastels and blueish undertones working best for them. Think colours that aren’t too vivid, so as to not overwhelm your lighter features.

Green pieces to add to your wardrobe as a Summer

You will want to look out for more pastel or less vivid greens when adding this on-trend colour to your outfits. You can look for accessories to start adding a little touch of the colour to your wardrobe, and shoes are a great option for you. As we head into the warmer weather, you can look at adding these aqua green from Salvatore Ferragamo to your shoe cupboard, or try these slip on flats by Dune. And for a touch of glamour, without giving up on comfort, I find this metallic green loafers by Tod’s an excellent choice.

If you want to take the green in your wardrobe to a new level and add it as a full outfit, you can try out a spring/summer dress. I love when the seasons change, so being able to wear a dress without countless heavy jumpers over the top means I can try out a few brighter colours too! If you feel the same, then try this beautiful backless maxi dress by Aeron – a great date night or brunch with friends piece, or pair with a blazer to cover up the back and you could wear this to meetings, too. For a smarter style, this belted jumpsuit from Zara in sea green is a great option for your wardrobe.

How to wear green as an Autumn

Just like Autumn, people within this seasonal toning have deep and warm undertones, with soft contrasts. This means colours that work best for you are deeper colours that you would spot at this time of year.

Green pieces to add to your wardrobe as an Autumn

When you fit into this season, you will want to look for deep, rich greens to bring into your wardrobe. For a quick splash of colour, look for scarves in deep green, or with patterns to bring a little personality to the outfit, or accessories such as jewellery to easily update your look with this on-trend colour. Scarves are an often overlooked accessory, but can be used in a multitude of ways to update your outfit – from the different knots you can try around your neck, to playing with them as hair accessories, you really can play with them in unique ways. Find ones that are slightly slimmer if you are wanting to try out the different options without having to fold them over a lot to fit on your head or neck.

For a powerful, all-over green look, you could bring the colour to your wardrobe with a women’s suit all in green. The great thing about suits is that you can play with the way you wear it – wear the full suit together for a professional end result, or just wear the blazer or trousers and dress it down for a less formal look. This beautiful deep green suit by Ami Paris is a perfect formal yet comfortable option with it’s more relaxed tailoring. For a high street option, you can’t go wrong with this rich green suit from Zara.

How to wear green as a Winter

Winters have cooler undertones with deep and bright tones, which means you will want to look for those wintery colours such as bright icy greens to play with in your wardrobe.

Green pieces to add to your wardrobe as a Winter

When you consider adding green to your wardrobe, you will want to remember the colours of the winter – icy, bright, and cool. This will help when you look for options to invest in for the Spring/Summer and throughout your shopping! Whether it’s an emerald crossover body bag like this by Bottega Veneta, or emerald green sandals like these by Jimmy Choo – the accessories are always a place to start with colour additions. As a Winter you can wear black, unlike the other seasons, so when you bring a dash of colour to an all-black outfit in this way, you really can make an impact.

As we head into the warmer months, you may want to try out a more appropriate dress for the weather. Whether that’s a slip-style dress made of satin-crepe, perfect for feeling luxurious and sexy, or a more casual swing dress like this from Whistes, finding a dress in your green tones will be a great addition to your wardrobe for Spring/Summer 2022. Style them with a rocker vibe adding a black leather jacket over the top, or go for a more romantic style with silver accessories & a blazer.

I hope these ideas for adding green to your wardrobe this spring have given you some inspiration to add this on-trend colour to your wardrobe.
