April Showers Bring Spring Styles

Say “Bye Bye Bye” to DeKalb’s unforgiving winter and say hello to spring 2018’s fashion trends! This season brings a refreshing line of fabrics including denim, florals, pastels and pretty pinks. Blossom into a beautiful fashion icon without breaking the bank by revamping your closet with these tips and tricks.

Florals

Floral print is making a comeback with diversified colors and patterns. Pair the bold May flowers with simple, yet tasteful blue jeans. Florals are an easy way to shake things up without the work. This match made in heaven is perfect for a night out or brunch with your pals.  

Denim

Although Britney and JT made history with their all denim outfits at the 2001 American Music Awards, the double denim style made its way back to the runway stage. Recreate the two-toned look with your favorite pair of jeans and a similar toned denim jacket.

Pastels

Perfect your style with pastels in a variety of colors including lavenders, pinks, baby blues and teals. The light, washed-out colors tend to soften your look while keeping your style up to date. Being the staple piece of the spring season, choose one pastel color of your liking and find ways to utilize the faded pigment with the rest of your wardrobe. Pair the pastels with denim to complete the look.    

Pink

Move over mean girls, pinks are not just for Wednesdays. The color pink is timeless and will help brighten your day-to-day style. Pair the pinks with dark or white jeans, then pair this award-winning look with your favorite ankle booties to tie the outfit together. Overcome the “girliness” and give the color a whole new meaning.

Shoes

I can’t express the importance of comfy-chic shoes enough. Pairing your outfits with the right shoes will bring your look from drab to fab. Spring is approaching fast, making ankle booties the perfect pair of shoes to bring enough oomph to the outfit without taking away from the entirety of the style.
