When you look your best, you feel your best! This all starts with a great outfit. Our boutique at Avanti has everything you need to create your favorite outfit, or 10 favorite outfits! Below are some of our tips for crafting a perfect outfit for this time of year.
1. Layer, layer, layer!
This time of year it could be 40 degrees in the morning, and 70 in the afternoon. Layering makes sure you are dressed for the weather, no matter what the temperature ends up being. Here are a few options on how to layer your outfits.
Denim Jacket
This closet staple can be thrown over a white tee paired with black jeans, a summer dress, or even a jumpsuit. The options are almost endless! Depending on the style you’re going for, you could even pair a denim jacket with a pair of blue jeans.
Leather Jacket
Similar to the denim jacket, a leather jacket can be worn with many different outfits. It can also easily be worn with blue jeans. Add a leather jacket to your outfit to instantly give it an edge.
Sweater
There are endless options for how to add a sweater to your outfit. Try adding a light cardigan, short or long, to an outfit as a lightweight layer for the morning. You could also wear a pullover sweater over a dress, turning it into a skirt.
2. Pick A Statement Piece
Every good outfit needs a statement piece to draw attention to. Whether your style is simple or flashy, there is a statement piece for everyone! Here are a few to try.
Patterned Skirt or Dress
This spring we are seeing so many patterned skirts, and we love it! From bright colors to patterned neutrals, we have it all in our boutique. A patterned skirt is a closet staple, especially during the Spring and Summer.
Jumpsuit
Here at Avanti, we love jumpsuits. They are the perfect comfortable statement piece for your wardrobe. Dress them up with some cute sandals or heels, or dress them down with sneakers or flip flops. You can’t go wrong!
Bright Blouse
Nothing says Springtime quite like a bright, statement blouse. Pair with your choice of denim, some comfy wedges, and your favorite jewelry for an easy, foolproof outfit.
Fun Earrings
Any simple outfit is immediately spruced up when you add statement earrings. Whether it's big hoops or a colorful floral earring, statement earrings are a go to for a good outfit.
3. Choose Your Colors Wisely
Wearing the right color palette and pairing the right colors together is one of the most important parts of creating a great outfit. Below are some strategies to follow when picking your colors.
Three Color Rule
The three color rule says to avoid combining more than three colors in a single outfit. While it doesn’t always need to be followed, it is a good guideline if you’re feeling stumped on what to wear.
Sandwich Your Colors
A balanced outfit is pleasing to the eye. If you are wearing a dark top, try wearing a dark shoe with it to balance out the dark colors. Alternatively, you could use this rule for light colors as well. A light top would pair nicely with a lighter shoe.
Keep It Light
Now that Spring is here, light colors are in. Time to pull out your light colored wardrobe! Try pairing cream or beige pants with a pastel top for a fresh and springy look.
4. Comfort Matters
Last but definitely not least, how you feel is top priority. If you feel good, you look good too! Below are a few tips on how to maximize your comfort.
Pick Clothing/Shoes That Fit
If you know a top is too snug, a pair of pants are too big, or your sandals rub the wrong way, don’t wear them! Properly fitting clothes makes your outfit look more polished and put together. But most importantly, properly fitting clothes will make you feel the most comfortable.
Check The Weather
When the weather is changing so much, it's a good habit to check the temperatures for the day when you are picking out your outfit. You can plan your outfit accordingly to ensure you are comfortable all day long. You’ll thank yourself later!
Think About Your Day
When choosing your outfit for the day, think about what the day might bring. Choosing clothes that you know will fit the activities of your day will make you feel comfortable the entire day.
Choosing a great outfit involves lots of factors. Ultimately, whatever makes you feel confident and comfortable is always the best outfit! Come stop by and check out what we have for you in our boutique this spring.
