Spring fashion is a menegerie of color

Spring is here, even though in Delco it feels like summer. But weather permitting or even not permitting, you always want to be styling.


So here it goes. Color and more color. Color is so intense that it could be an artist’s palate and then so neutral that it blends with everything. Beige and white are all the rage. Pastels have come into their own in mint green, powder blue and bubblegum pink.

. Navy is the new black. That black leather motorcycle jacket has a whole new feel in colors like yellow, blue and red. Jeans take on color too in reds, blues, oranges and yellows.

Think bright flowered prints with the palate of van Gogh’s yellow sunflowers and the blues in Monet’s Water Lilies.
Orange breaks through on its own from apricot to tangerine in shoes, watches, skirts, pants, dresses and necklaces. The sixties look inspired by Mad Men is bringing back that romantic looks of lace patterns dresses. If you want a more Mod look, try a geometric dress and don’t forget those Jackie O sunglasses. If you were around during the sixties you remember the nautical look, navy and stripped tops. The look is back.
Speaking of accessories; army watches are trendy, so are poppy colored totes and Sperry rose print boat shoes. These little beauties are definitely not your father’s boat shoe. Earrings are geometric and classically structured. Colored chunky clunky necklaces and bracelets will set off that outfit. Let’s not forget wedged shoes or platform soles to complete your look. Wear more edgy shoes with those pastel romantic look.  Keep Styling in Delco.
