Let’s be clear on one thing: just because the rest of the fashion world catapulted into spring season doesn’t mean we all did! Although, I did actually here birds chirping on my way to work this morning for a few blissful moments right before a homeless man shouted. 😁
Than I proceeded to ride muni observing 90% of the passengers in dark colors, 20% in all black, literally. Then to my surprise, I noticed at a lady sitting in a freakin’ red quilted puff coat with fur hood (like what?!😱)….. Call me crazy but something tells me, us San Franciscans are still transitioning (no pun intended😜).
SO for some style tips on how to not succumb to the pressure of spring’s bright style trends read on below:
- Sweater/shirt dresses are perfect right now – the best of both worlds. (And if its not warm enough to wear without a bottom yet, try matching your pants for a killer monochrome look).
- Try to keep your silhouettes more free & flowy.
- When you feel yourself reaching for that cozy black turtleneck sweater on a cloudy day, balance out with a white jean jacket or flip the script and go for a white on white look. 👇
- Black coats for spring can be tricky (denim excluded) but SO doable! Just look for a lightweight material like this one from Oak+Fort.
- Lastly, don’t be “basic” and only wear pastels, florals, blouses etc – there are plenty of ways to “do spring” 🌸😬
For those that live here, I hope you chuckle and appreciate the fact that, more often than not, this is what an SF spring looks like (rain included😝😏).
