Make a Statement this Spring Summer

March 2, 2010 - PRLog -- Spring is only a hop, skip and jump away, so it’s time to wave goodbye to your faithful winter knits and so-soft thermals. This season, feminine pastels are set to be a key women’s wear theme, however if statement chic is more your style, choose vibrant, fruity hues over the more delicate shades seen on the catwalk.

The warmer months are a time when your skin is often bronzed and beautiful; the perfect blank canvas for bolder shades. Citrus greens, berry blues, mouth watering orange and pops of pink are the essential new tones for women’s clothing. The must-have accompaniments to timeless black, these are unashamedly ‘summer’, and will liven up your classic day-to-day looks. Whether you desire full length colour or are simply searching for a zesty finishing touch, there are plenty of options available for understated dressers and statement stylistas alike.

The maxi dress is going nowhere this season and a slouchy, relaxed style is a fabulous alternative to the more formal designs of previous seasons. Isabella Oliver 365’s Tank Dress combines a versatile silhouette with lively colour to create an ultra-wearable feminine piece. This design (in Ocean) is a must for an easy way to wear this spring summer story - simply team with minimal accessories to pare down the statement colour.

If head-to-toe drama isn’t really your style, then there’s no need to worry. This theme has been embraced by most women’s wear essentials, so you can throw on a bold-hued jacket, or choose brightly coloured separates to wear however you wish. Richard Nicoll’s Violet Blazer looks great worn over a day or evening outfit. Throw on over a black body con dress with statement heels, or give your favourite women’s cami and reliable women’s jeans a pop of colour.

Still wary of this vibrant story? Then it’s best to opt for rainbow-hued accessories such as jewellery or an oversized clutch. Butler and Wilson’s Crystal Rose Necklace looks fabulous dressed up with a women’s evening dress, or worn with a strapless summer top for a sparkling accent. If you prefer a piece of arm candy, then why not opt for a dramatic clutch or tote bag? The Shopping Print Tote Bag by Anya Hindmarch is a must for everyday, whilst Jimmy Choo’s Acrylic Clutch is sure to satisfy your fashion sweet tooth.

Stand out this summer and choose candy brights; warm weather style that always works.

P.S.  Try Urban Decay’s Lipstick in Jilted: Hot Pink for an instant colour boost.
