If a woman asks herself the question - what to wear in the spring, she should get rid of the shortened models such as capri pants or breeches that have gone out of fashion. Everything that can be called trousers should be long, preferably covering the ankle bone. A real spring "must have" is wide long trousers a la Marlene Dietrich. It is recommended to wear long trousers of a narrow or straight cut with shoes with very high heels. Wide long trousers are best worn with shoes with a comfortable low heel or with ballet flats.

Also, a fashionable trend this spring will be wide long trousers in combination with long, below the knee, dresses. Narrow pants of the pipe type are recommended to be worn with tunic dresses up to mid-calf. All this multi-layered splendor simply must be decorated with handmade jewelry.

High stand-up collars, a slanted wrap of the hems of suits and dresses, typically Asian harem pants in combination with jackets decorated with Chinese ornaments - this is what domestic fashionistas should pay attention to.

Skirt with a slit

Another trend included in the hit parade of fashionable things of spring 2013. It is interesting that designers offer the same multi-layering, that is, in their opinion, the skirt should be worn over long trousers. It is a fashionable slit or even two slits that will allow the fashionista to demonstrate the presence of narrow or straight trousers. If a woman is not so extravagant and does not want to experiment with such a mix, the skirt can be worn simply in the usual traditional way.

Fashion spring 2013

What to wear in spring? Of course, leather, the demand and fashion for leather goods are obviously not exhausted. The only spring difference of this season is bright non-leather colors. Fashionistas will have to fork out for yellow, poisonous pink, aquamarine leather jackets or skirts. Of course, such colors are appropriate in the wardrobe of young women, ladies who consider themselves respectable are allowed to wear leather items of caramel, pastel colors, but not black, brown or red. This is no longer fashionable, at least, this is what the Spanish designers of the Balenciaga brand say.

Collar - jabot and frills

Here's what not only is worth wearing in spring, but it's also simply necessary. It's time for women to remember the romanticism that comes from a gathered peplum on a thin waist, frills on the cuffs of a light blouse, a high collar decorated with the finest lace. Even in a business style, it is recommended to find a place for at least one detail that can be gathered, for example, decorate the lapels of a jacket with stylish ruffles. Ruffles can and even should be combined with contrasting details of a straight cut, so they will look more impressive.

Opening the shoulder in Greek style, starting from the warmest spring days, without fear of the coolness - this is what the Alberta Ferretti design house recommends wearing in the spring. In the spring collection show, open shoulders of the models prevailed, however, in addition to dresses, tops and sundresses, jackets or vests were thoughtfully included. Chloe, a French fashion house, also suggests baring one or both shoulders, although these are mainly pastel-colored dresses that do not include jackets or capes.

Black plus white – forever

Obviously, these two colors will never go out of fashion, even the romantic season - spring did not affect the eternal color classics. What to wear in spring, black or white? Most likely, it is necessary to pay attention not to the school combination - black bottom, white top, but to geometric prints and abstraction.

Pleated folds

They are still in fashion, especially since they are recommended by both Stella McCartney and designers of the Louis Vuitton house. The only difference from last year's season is that pleating is appropriate not only in skirts, but also in trousers. Pleats can be just an element decorating trousers, but fully pleated trousers made of silk or chiffon will also be fashionable.

Dresses a la Jacqueline Kennedy

However, the list of style icons of the 50s or 60s can be continued. It is not so important who the fashionista will look up to, asking herself what to wear in the spring, Audrey Hepburn, Betty Page or Grace Kelly. The main thing is that the dresses, and they will be in fashion, are made in the spirit of minimalism, that is, laconic, simple and elegant.
