What to Wear – Spring 2011

By Ronnie Adolf

Even though winter is in full swing, the fashion world is looking forward to Spring 2011. New trends, new colors, new designs will hit the runways and streets just as the flowers start to bloom. Spring is a time of renewal and nothing feels better than to refresh some of your tired accessories to give you a brand new look for the season. This spring season may not be bringing many major trend changes when it comes to jewelry but new color palettes and motifs are just the thing to bring a refresher to your jewelry box.



Some of the color combinations popular for the coming season are black and white, brown and coral, and blue and green. Again, nothing major – just fresh. A great way to freshen up your color palette is to use a rich, deep color like indigo and pair it up with a bright color like green. Take the still popular tarnished metals and match it up with some white or be bold and mix bright orange with coral. Brown is huge for the spring season so use it everywhere you can. Mix up your textures using heavy ones with light. All of these combinations will make your accessories feel brand new.



Also big for the spring is bright colors with glossy finishes, reminiscent of the early 90’s. Anything with an epoxy finish is a guaranteed hit. Go big and bold on your wrists wearing big cuffs or layered bangles. If you want to achieve this look but need something a bit more practical for the daytime, look for bracelets with lots of bright colored charms. If bracelets are too much, you can always get a great look with earrings. Choose lightweight designs in bright colors and fun patterns in simple forms like discs. A great pair of earrings will always give you a signature look without a lot of cost or hassle.



The nature motif is still popular for Spring 2011 so have fun with it. Go crazy with animal prints in a brown color palette and knock your look out of the park. Be careful not to overdo the animal print; wear only one or two accessories with the pattern – you don’t want to actually look like a cheetah! Other nature inspired pieces like snakes and flowers will be everywhere. Choose a few big, bold pieces to complement your outfits in a range of materials and colors. Make sure to layer your look with heavy metals and more feminine pieces like ribbon or pearls.



As with all seasons, classic fashion never goes out of style, so your classic diamonds and pearls are a surefire way to look your best without putting yourself out of your comfort zone with a style you're not sure is "you". You shouldn't be too shy to try some classic pieces with some of the newer trends. Life is made for living, and living well means feeling your best.



Go ahead and rock your favorite of the new trends and remember, summer is just around the corner from spring, and there will be a lot more new fashions to look forward to.
