Even though the warmer temperature and extended hours of daylight make you want to express your good mood through bright hues, you need to take some strategic steps in order for the transition between fall and spring to be smooth and subtle.
Small steps with colour: Spring is NOT summer, and the brighter colours of mid summer like bright blues, yellows, greens and even pinks should be worn with intelligence - acting only as an accent colour (one coloured item per outfit) until the weather starts to really warm up. Stick to darker earth tone colours and neutral tones for the most part, adding hits of colour that gradually increase as the temperature and leave the pastels and bright bold colours until at least late May.
Heavyweight Fighter: Any item of clothing that reeks of winter needs to be retired till next fall. Anything in your wardrobe meant to keep you warm should be out of sight. Examples of this would be anything puffy, wooly, fur of any kind, flannel, fleece and turtlenecks. Also, store your winter accessories and trade in your winter scarves for lighter scarves whose intentions are more geared towards being fashion forward than keeping toasty warm.
Layers of Style: Layering is not only a fashion statement, but also one of those fashion trends that evolved out of pure practicality. The art of layering is a technical one, and helps one plan ahead and stay comfortable and cool during unforeseen weather and severe temperature changes.
The secret to practical and fashionable layering is to stick to LIGHT layers. Spring usually means brisk mornings and beautiful afternoons. Throw a light scarf around your neck, and never forget your sunglasses. This look allows for layers to be shed as the temperature rises and reapplied as the sun goes down, making you prepared for no matter what the day might hold.
Coat of Arms: With parkas in storage, there is a multitude of options for a spring substitute. Denim, corduroy, leather, trench coats, suede and sports jackets are all stylish options. For spring, a new twist on the classic black leather jacket could be trying a BROWN leather jacket. Brown has been a big colour as of late, and meshes well with the lighter hues of a spring wardrobe.
Also, please gentlemen, keep those sandals, shorts, and tank tops hidden till summer fully hits. Think long sleeves, pants, shoes and light jackets. No one wants to jump the gun and be the only one having premeditated fun in the sun.
