If you’re currently in the process of removing Winter from your wardrobe to make room for Spring, you have a small window of opportunity to strip your style bare in favour of classic staples. Our fashion aficionado, Jessica Oram, explains how you should style your tan accessories and pieces, this Spring/Summer…
Tan is forever a signature shade for Spring/Summer. This season, however, you should drape a chestnut hued jacket in suede over a blue and white striped cotton shirt. A SS17 shirt’s main purpose is to salute the unusual. Opt for an embroidered detail or an origami style tied effect on your staple lined shirts, this year. As April hits, a classic tan and blue hybrid is the ideal colour combination to reignite your spring style and ease your way into wearing lighter and brighter tones once again. The ‘jrape’, namely the jacket drape, is the perfect styling solution for the current unpredictable weather. Keep your jacket to hand in case you encounter a flash downpour and look incredibly chic at the same time – it’s a win, win.
For a quick-fix Spring wardrobe update, a white blouse with oversized sleeves will be your partner in crime, this season. Teamed with rich tan hues in lightweight cotton and leather, this fashion fusion will always succeed to impress fellow fashion-savvy folk. If your aim is to look chic with little effort, this timeless pairing of tan and white looks natural and elegant for Spring. An extravagant sleeve is still an essential trend piece to own for the summer months. Embrace the flamboyance before it only becomes acceptable for flamencos to wear them once again. It’s an effortless way to add some drama to your Spring wardrobe.
It’s time to put the black and indigo wash jeans to the back of the wardrobe and pull out your light wash denim. From boyfriend fit jeans to staple shirts, pale denim is an essential texture to incorporate into your Spring wardrobe. Inspired by the wild west, a denim and tan leather fusion is symbolic of a cowboy’s uniform – think torn denim shirts and worn leather high-crowned hats. Breathing fresh and lighter tones into your style for the warmer months ahead, this iconic sartorial duo never disappoints.
If all else fails you, black will save every sartorial dilemma. Wear black in Spring and you’ll gain major style points. The chicest of shades, throw on a black leather jacket teamed with a pair of tan culottes for an instant European edge to your look. The sun may be blazing down on you but you’re executing your black and tan get-up seamlessly. If it really is sweltering, opt for a pleated black skirt in a floaty fabric with bare legs, paired with an on-trend black leather mule. A tan and black fusion means business in Spring, whether you’re in the boardroom or the bar.
This Spring/Summer, choose prints reminiscent of African safaris to accompany your tan leather saddle bags and energise your casual style. Ideal for country festivals or beach adventures abroad, inject exotic patterned summer dresses into your holiday wardrobe for a boho, laidback aesthetic. Opt for tonal hues such as burnt orange to complement your tan leather accessories, or, if you’re feeling braver, electric blue is the perfect contrasting colour to make a statement, this Spring/Summer.
