Embrace classic silhouettes over trendy and eccentric ones.
If you’re aiming for a romantic style, resort to classic silhouettes that will give you a modest yet feminine look over trendy and eccentric ones. Like Julia, think of fit and flare dresses, full skirts, fitted tops and such as well as classic coats and blazers. If your wardrobe consists of mostly neutral colored ensembles, think of adding some pop of color with a pastel blue coat like Julia did. Or, go monochromatic with light colored neutrals like beige, white, and nudes that will look more subtle over navies and blacks.
Resort to pastel palette and rainbow colors.
Spring is the perfect season to wear colors so think of pastel palettes and rainbow shades that will make your looks more romantic. Like Julia, you may add some pop of color to your pastel pink skirt by teaming it with an orange top, making the unexpected color combination work in a feminine way. Or, update your retro-inspired button-front denim skirt with a brightly colored bell sleeved top that will make your spring style a bit carefree yet chic.
Opt for breezy and lightweight fabrics to make your spring style romantic.
As the weather warms up, it’s time to go light on your layers and fabric choices. Like Julia, you may go for a breezy maxi skirt that will look romantic with a lace up top. Or, resort to lace and cotton fabrics as well as dresses on off-shoulder, sleeveless, and asymmetric styles that will keep your spring looks breezy chic. Also, you may think of eyelet tops and skirts that will look breezy chic while adding some romantic flair through the cut out details.
You could never go wrong with romantic details and flirty accents.
Though pastel colors and floral prints can be great to spice up your looks, ruffles, ribbons, bows and floral patterns are some of the romantic details you may go for to add some feminine flair to your spring looks. Like Julia, you may simply wear a ruffled-sleeved blouse with a button front maxi skirt that will look breezy chic with nude sandals and ethnic bag. By heeding these tricks from Julia, you’ll make your spring look effortlessly romantic while keeping everything feminine.
