What's chic this Spring? More than just colors (you will see lots of green, black and white stripes, fuchsia, red, navy blue), this Spring, the focus seems to be really on the fabrics. Finally, there is a lot more fresh cotton silk, organic cotton, cashmere silk, pure silk, viscose than in the last few years, all all those amazing fabrics are so gentle on the skin.
We definitely need something soft and kind to our skin, after it suffered from the cold weather, the strong Winter winds, the heating system at home and all the wool we have been wearing for months!
Also, designers have been focusing on geometry this year! They have been playing with shapes and you will find so many asymmetric pieces and dresses with an uneven hem this Spring in the shops.

It will be fun
to have one or two original pieces in your wardrobe (something like this Lanvin black dress and this Dior red dress for example).

For this type of cut for a dress or a skirt, I would pick something monochrome (white,
black, ivory, a delicate pastel or a bold red...) if you want to look fashionable
and chic at the same time. I don’t see asymmetry and a flower dress going
together: it would look quite “pacchiano”! Pacchiano is something that looks
“too much”, something that feels like a “punch in the eye”! :)
But a little flower dress (with a classy cut) by itself is fine, although careful, not everyone looks good in it.
I find elegant this Erdem here below:

And I find stunning this custom made dress by a small boutique called Le Spose di Coco', near Venice, Italy (Giorgia Granzo modeling):
I totally felt in love this year with the double belt, which Victoria Beckam designed (and didn't find for purchase yet). After looking everywhere for this belt, I finally found a similar one in Italy at the Max&Co shop in Padova, Italy. This belt truly transforms every dress and gives it a more sophisticated look.

For a trendy everyday look, I like this honeycomb jacket that you can find at Jigsaw.
And this Spring, I suggest to buy a pair of fuchsia jeans like those skinny straight jeans from J.Brand.
Lovely with a white top and a statement necklace like for example the Kate Spade multi pearl torsade necklace shown below:

And, speaking of pearls, this February I attended Couture Fashion Week in New York and
what I particularly loved is the come back of white and pure pearls...possibly lots of them! Models were even wearing them backward, which looks particularly great with a classy little black dress.
CNFW: White pearls necklace, Marc Jacobs Dress and Fratelli Rossi shoes (with the original detail of the red heels).
