I don’t know about you, but I am SO ready to put away my parka, toque and snowboots for the season. If I never hear the words “polar vortex” again, I’d be totally fine with that. What helps me get through the Alberta cold snaps (besides looking at photos of sandy beaches in Costa Rica on my laptop) is knowing that spring is just around the corner, and with that, fun spring fashion trends to try! Here are 3 you can incorporate into your wardrobe very, very soon. (Fingers crossed!)
BRIGHT-COLOURED TAILORED BLAZERS
Tired of wearing a basic black blazer? Switch up your outfit by layering it with a structured blazer in a vibrant hue. Or to really stand out, wear it with a matching pair of dress pants for a power suit. MY PICKS:
Center: Zara Blazer With Pockets $79.90
Top Right: Blu’s Womenswear Smythe 2 Button Blazer in Royal $695.00
WIDE LEG PANTS
If you’re not a fan of skinny jeans you’re in luck because wide leg pants are IN. Not only are they flattering on almost every body type, they’re comfortable to boot. Pair them with a simple tee or tank tucked in for a casual vibe or a button-up blouse for a dressier look. And to make your legs look extra long, add a heel. MY PICKS:
Center: Aritzia Babaton Lincoln Pant $148.00
Top Right: Simons Contemporaine Fluid Wide-Leg Pant $89.00
LEOPARD PRINT
Animal prints were all over the spring 2019 runways, including leopard. You can experiment with this fun print by wearing it with a bright color (like red pants for example) for a really bold look. If you’re new to animal prints and want a subtler accent, opt to sneak it in with accessories to complete your outfit – a handbag, earrings, belt, light scarf or shoes are all good options. MY PICKS:
Center: Anthropologie All Black Jungle Flats $148.00
