SPRING FORTH

My 2nd best time of the year with the holidays being the favorite, Spring simply brings everything back to life from the lush colorful flowers/trees to the greenery of the lawn. It’s also the time to bring out the warm weather wardrobe and light aired pieces mostly in linen, silk or cotton materials. The ultimate goal is to keep cool so I lean more towards clothing designed for warm weather; typically constructed from breathable, lightweight fabrics. You can stick to lighter neutrals such as white, beige, cream for not only do these hues reflect (rather than absorb) sunlight, they will also combine effortlessly with every other color you already have in your wardrobe. In this post, I picked a more vibrant color in the yellow mustard as a focal point of the overall look; the unlined structure, soft shoulders and patch pockets eludes a relaxed look combined with a pair of brown plaid pants, white BD shirt, navy tie and brown suede loafers while giving me the versatility to switch to a casual look by replacing the pants with jeans and dropping the tie.
