Right now chilly weather contradicts springtime fashion offerings. Resort collections are out in the market and from these we derived the coolest pieces and trends. There is obviously lots of colorful lace, bohemian motifs, and retro silhouettes. Designers emphasize femininity, celebrating at the same time a modern romantic spirit. Get ready for Valentine’s Day and the Fashion Week with flirty dresses, ethereal fabrics, and cute details.
Colorful Romance
Lace gets statement-making via novel colorways. Alexis is a brand creating mesmerizing lace dresses with intricate details. For the perfect mix of past and future, slip into the Alexis Fransisca Floral Lace Blouson-Sleeve Dress. For a bright sexy look on a dinner or dance date, trust the Alexis Fala Lace Midi Dress. And if you have to attend a formal event, maintain your playfulness with the Alexis Marisa Half-Sleeve Lace Midi Dress.
Retro Spirit
Get back to a classic era or even the 70s rock & roll circuit, by wearing the Alexis Tobit Silk Tie Neck Top with either bell bottoms or a pencil skirt. Layer over your A-line 60s dresses this charming Ted Baker Emmila The Orient Printed Parka. Be boho chic with a simple T-shirt, a Panama hat, and the nonchalant Alice + Olivia Katz Patchwork Floral Leopard Pleated Maxi Skirt.
Comfy Glamour
Another element that prevails is the quest for comfort even on special occasions. The dress you are wearing as a guest to a wedding, a birthday party, or an arts event has to feel comfy and fabulous at the same time. Get back to the glam 80s with the Alice + Olivia Pace Batwing Sleeve Party Dress. Give your romanticism a modern edge with the Alice + Olivia Tevin Floral Appliqué Dress. To a Valentine’s dinner get your flirty self out there with the Alice + Olivia Josie Off-Shoulder Ruffle Wrap Dress.
Cooler Tops
Designer Stacey Bendet is known for her playful spirit and inventiveness expressed in the Alice + Olivia collection. She gets more creative with the trendy animal prints as seen in the Alice + Olivia X Donald Robertson Willa Crazy Pants Printed Silk Blouse. She mixes sexy with classy in the Alice + Olivia Prena Trumpet-Sleeve Off-the-Shoulder Lace Top. And she finds her balance between the 60s and the 70s with the cool & smart Alice + Olivia Presley Ruffle-Sleeve Cropped Jacket.
Bolder Hues
As we said before, our color palette doesn’t necessarily have to be seasonally defined. Don’t be, for example winter-bound with colors. Try the sophisticated hues you like, regardless of weather. Even in fluffy outerwear, you can have the sharp & bold motif of the Alice + Olivia Kinsley Oversized Stripe Faux Fur Coat. Under this you can layer a bright red dress such as the Alice + Olivia Francine V-Neck Fit & Flare Mini Dress. You can even pick the lighter blue shade of this timeless Alice + Olivia Krysta Cape-Back Crepe Mini Dress. Get into the spirit of the Resort collections!
