Seasonal Transitions

I would consider February the most exciting month of the year. Why you ask? Take a look around. What do you see? The disappearance of dark, dreary clothing, and the emergence of exciting, fresh, desirable, Spring merchandise. From coloured pants to cropped tops, to the most gorgeous florals, one can’t help but feel a ting of excitement when entering any fashion store. The problem is, the hideous weather continues, so although the spring clothing is readily available, we as consumers are not ready to purchase. Many people find it difficult to transition their wardrobe from Winter to Spring. It is such a large shift that combining both Winter clothing and Spring clothing may seem impossible to the average shopper, but, it is easier than you think.

There are techniques to begin incorporating your most exciting Spring pieces, while continuing to wear your neutral Winter clothing. Begin by pairing opaque black nylons and thigh high leather boots with a bright coloured, sleeveless, lightweight dress, and a black blazer. The bright colour introduces Spring, while the black nylons and blazer stay true to Winter hues. Don’t feel like bringing out the Spring dresses just yet? Try dark denim with a black long-sleeved blouse and a colourful, floral printed scarf. This outfit shouts “I love Winter!” with a hint of “I need Spring!” My favourite transitions technique has to be incorporating bright colours in the oddest places. Try pairing a black maxi dress with a neon orange cropped cardigan, a chunky pink necklace, and a pair of green sling-back suede wedges. This outfit will definitely make a statement, and ensure your audience that you are balancing two seasons, in the most fashionable way.
Good Luck transitioning!
