Add Some Spring to Your Wardrobe!

There are some great dressing trends for Spring Summer that are both fashionable and comfortable. The clear trend in tops is longer and layered with a cardigan or long light knits.

The clothes are not fitted, but drapey and flowing, accentuating the female form without giving away all its secrets. Fluid and feminine, the added touch of the must-have scarves caps off this look and makes it versatile for all kinds of weather as many are lightweight and is always stylish. Colors like linen, white, navy, black, and sheer blacks top the trends with looks that will stand the test of time. One great look that can easily transcend time of day and weather, is the white summer dress top with dark Capri bottoms. Fresh, feminine and stylish! Add a long chain with a locket or statement piece, add flats and a scarf, top with a cardigan if it gets chilly or change accessories for an evening look and voila! Instantly chic and always comfortable.

Feminine, Timeless, Wonderful!

Great basics will always form a super wardrobe that transcends the seasons and trends. An easy way to add to your wardrobe and keeping your pocketbook thicker, is with accessories. A scarf, piece of jewelry and a new pair of shoes, new leggings (look for more sheer leggings, great for the hotter months) are infinitely less expensive than replacing an entire wardrobe each season. Trends be damned when it comes to dressing for your body type, which never goes out of style! Just add some of these great finds to your best-fit Spring Summer wardrobe and you can’t go wrong!

Here is a list of favorites:

Scarves

Necklace

Cardigan

Cover up

Purse

Flats

Leggings

Sun dress

Choose for Fit First, Not Fashion

Whatever you choose, be sure to select pieces that fit you NOW. There is no point in shopping for the future. Whatever your shape and size, you will always look great in clothes that fit you best. Period. When it comes to the styles of the season, not everything works for all types, so pick from the looks that work best for your shape and lifestyle. For a little inspiration, here’s a little video on some of the hot trends for Spring 2010 (spot all the leggings. This is THE hottest trend!).

Update: Many of these items are classic and look great year after year!

  1. I couldn’t agree more!

    I’m definitely a firm believer in dressing for your body shape. Not only does it flatter your figure (and look great!), it also saves you a lot of money on clothes over time.

    Great article! <3

    • It is so true! There is nothing that feels and looks better than a woman who is dressing well for who she is, not for a desired clothing number (which as we all know sizing of clothes is not entirely universal!) Like the fashion icon Coco Chanel said, you want people to remember the woman, not the dress.
