It’s Spring! Get Your Wardrobe and Closet Ready

Now that spring is finally here, it’s time to put away the winter coats and heavy sweaters. It’s also time to make a seasonal assessment of your closet and update your spring wardrobe.

The highlights from New York Fashion Week include these 2016 spring fashion trends:

  • Shoulder cut-outs, asymmetrical necklines, and off-the-shoulder look
  • Wide-cropped trousers
  • Fringed hems to add interesting movement
  • Ruffles, placed sparingly on the garment
  • Micro pleats
  • “Lingerie” styles in satins and silks
  • Lightweight denim dresses
  • Bright-colored purses
  • Flat mules
  • Orange continues to be the new black, but it’s always a favorite for Tennessee fans

Before you grab your so-last-year purse and head out the door to go shopping, first take time to shop your own closet, assessing your current wardrobe and decluttering as well. Go through your closet, piece by piece, and only keep what you will actually wear.  The clothes that you like … the clothes that make you feel good about yourself!

After discarding the clothing you no longer want, you’ll have a base wardrobe to supplement with new fresh spring pieces. To keep your budget — and closet — under control, you should buy only the clothes and accessories you need.

Admittedly, much of what you see on the runway never ends up in your closet, and not because of the price. Designers take bold liberties with style as they strive for a “wow” factor, but often ending up with a “yikes!”  When considering the new designer trends, make sure to align them with your own style and select new elements that enhance your personal fashion aura.
