It is now May and spring is approaching... or so they say! The weather here in the NW has been cold and miserable. The stores remind us that spring is coming! With the bright colors, floral prints, and summer accessories we will be prepared for when the weather does get warm. The sun never lasts long enough so it is best to be prepared for when it does show its bright shinny smile!
There are not a lot of 'new' fashion trends this year, however the trends from last year are back stronger and much more colorful. Only a few essentials needed to stay on trend for this years spring and summer wardrobes!
Must haves for your closet:
Whites/Neutrals/Nude colors!
White jeans, white tees, and white tanks are a staple in everyones spring and summer wardrobes. Make sure you check your whites, these are items we want to make sure are clean and crisp. White wide leg pants are another trend this year. A throw back to the 60's and 70's. But if you are unsure of the wide leg, a good boot cut jean never fails. White tees and tanks can be found in any retail store location. Its best to replace these each year so no need to spend a fortune!
Neutral and nude colors are a trend in tops and blouses that add a feminine soft look to your wardrobe. This is a tough trend to pull off for some individuals with fair skin tones. Finding the right shade of cream, ivory, peach, or pink can take some time. If unsure of the trend, find a soft neutral scarf, or sweater to add to your summer wear. Here are a few items we have at Duck Duck Goose:
Happy Prints!
Floral prints are back! Not everyone embraces the floral prints. Buy the items that you LOVE! If you are unsure of the trend, start small. Buy a shirt or a blouse with a small floral print. Don't go big for your first floral purchase! It will be to overwhelming. We don't want the shirt wearing you! Floral prints can be very flattering and the perfect amount of femininity. Below are a few dresses for spring/summer from Duck Duck Goose
Color Blocking Blues!
Blues are big this year! Not only in fashion but they have made a come back in home decor as well. Deep blues, turquoise, and aqua look great when paired with yellows, reds, and corals. White pants, a coral top, and a teal scarf! An outfit that can only be worn in the summer! Even turquoise jewelry is a big trend. Spice up a plain white tee with some turquoise jewelry and you look casually chic.
Here is a blue blouse from Duck Duck Goose with turquoise beading along the sleeve!
Lace!
Today's lace look can be modernized for any wardrobe. Lace pieces as well as crochet pieces look best in neutral tones. Create the modern feminine trend with antique or sheer finishes. Add simple jewelry, leather belts or handbags to add to the trend. This cowl neck sweater and lace tank from Duck Duck Goose are perfect pieces to add to your wardrobe.
Most importantly have fun with your wardrobe and be comfortable! Confidence is key! For more information on these fashions and much much more, visit us at Shopduckduckgoose.com!
