Welcome to Such Savvy Style
Greetings!
It’s hard not to smile when spring arrives! And it has arrived here in CA. While some of my friends back in the Mid-West and East are digging out of feet of snow we are running around in our bright spring colors and open-toed shoes. I’m not sure I’m ready to give up my tall boots and tights just yet! But the stores are packed with spring fashions so below is a guide to help you navigate what trends will be your best.

What is on my list for Spring??
As you look over some of the spring trends you might be thinking that some things are a little "out there"! So just what is on my shopping list that can fit into almost everyone’s closet? And what will not be out of season by next spring?
I love leather! There are really a lot of soft, light weight leathers out there in jackets, tops and pants. Choose a color that is a spring neutral or one of your best colors so you can wear this item year after year.
Another thing that I love this spring is all the prints — prints on pants and tops. Be mindful about the size of the print. Don’t get lost under large prints if you are petite, and if your frame is larger you’ll want to pick a print that is a little larger. I don’t think you can go wrong with stripes. They tend to be timeless. Just remember all the rules about stripes!!! Please don’t place large stripes over an area where you carry a lot of volume.
What about the cutout clothing trend!?! I call this peek-a-boo clothing! I think there are fun ways to incorporate this trend into your closet even if you don’t have a peek-a-boo clothing body. BUT….please hear me on this…NO cutouts in ANY problem areas. Maybe find a cool cutout handbag, scarf or cool pair of shoes. I have a cool skirt that has cutouts but it has a underlining so it looks classy. This trend very quickly looks cheap if it’s not done correctly. I don’t see this trend sticking around for a long time so I would not invest a ton of money but a piece or two could be fun for the wardrobe.
The color of the season is emerald green. Various shades of green are all over the stores . This is great news because everyone can wear some shade of green; that’s because green has warm shades, neutral shades and cool shades. (Red is the only other color on the color wheel that has all three.) Shades of green also go with so many other colors so mixing and matching items in your closet will be fun. For example, green and yellow, and green and navy are great combinations. Green is also a fun spring color to add a pop of interest to your more neutral colored outfits.
So what would I avoid this season? There are some really cute shorts that are out there but I also have seen some that will make you look like you are wearing a trash bag around your waist. I would avoid the bermuda shorts with a lot of volume and large print. Even writing about it gives me the shakes! I would also stay clear of certain colors if they are not your best. For example yellow, it’s a really fun color on trend but there are not a lot of people who look good in yellow. I would add it as an accent or accessory color, or in a pair of pants but avoid solid yellow around your face.
If you still have questions navigating all of these spring and summer fashions I wold love to help. Give me a call to book your appointment today.
