What to wear in spring: Stylist advice
I want to believe that spring (not a calendar, but a real one) is already very close. We asked stylists about the main trends of the coming months - and how to adapt them to Russian realities, what things to pay attention to first and foremost and what to be guided by, choosing clothes for spring.

Of the variety of spring trends for myself, I singled out a few. One of the most beloved - things earthy shades. I especially like the options in beige monochrome. For example in the collections of Acne Studios and Dion Lee.
Another favorite is tie dai print. This is not a new trend, things in divorces appear on the podium for several seasons in a row, but it seems to me that it is only gaining momentum. In the spring-summer collections - 2019 things with such a pattern have shown many brands: Proenza Schouler, Stella McCartney, MSGM and others.
This year we will continue to wear bicycles. They have not lost their relevance, and even vice versa - for example, different lengths have appeared. I like the completely “beach” versions, like those of Jacquemus, and the minimalist models Jil Sander.

To be honest, I have long been of the opinion that trends are far from the most essential part of the wardrobe for the season. Everyone should wear something that feels comfortable and one hundred percent, and not collect "45 trends from spring-summer shows - 2019" in the closet. Therefore, I will list only those trends that turned out to be close to me personally.
I'm very attracted by the eighties with their incredible shoulders. Now this trend is back, so pay attention to things with shoulder pads. They can be found in the latest collections of expensive brands or mass-market, and in vintage stores. A big plus is that the original models from the eighties are perfectly preserved - there are many of them, and they are beautiful.
What I like most about spring and summer is bright colors and all kinds of prints, especially floral ones. If you find it difficult to combine several bright colors and prints in clothes, try adding one rich color to a neutral image. For example, beige all and acid green top. With prints it is still easier: put on a dress in a floral pattern, and everything else is plain.
I also advise you to pay attention to the snake print. I love leather shoes (especially colored) under the snake. But it can be not only shoes and other accessories. Coats, skirts, tops, dresses - everything looks cool "in a snake."
I'm already a little tired of the bikes, but this spring, apparently, the trend will go to the people. It will be interesting to observe how they will be worn and how the trend will change. But I probably will not wear them myself.

In the spring, the beige and cream total onions didn’t say anything lazy. I prefer shades "willow" and "dairy melange". Many brands have chosen for their collections shades of "Camel", "coffee with milk" and "almond". Worthy examples are found in Marni, Burberry, Agnona, as well as in the Japanese mass market Uniqlo. Even better, beige leather in the form of a raincoat, shirt or jacket appears in your wardrobe, as in the Miu Miu show.
Another trend this season - a bandana. Again, I like the leather version (as in the Erika Cavallini show) and the acid-green one, which is in Zara. Bandana can be tied on the head in the classical way, to wear a kerchief or to use as a scarf.
Do not forget about the bike. The sports attribute has moved to the current from last season and it seems to have become even more relevant. I bought my veloshorts in the children's section of Zara last summer, and did not find any decent ones in other stores. Now there are many variations.

The main things that should be introduced into your wardrobe this spring will be the costumes and their different variations - from oversight jackets with shoulder pads found in vintage stores and second-hand to classic monochrome. The last ones with an adequate price-quality ratio are rather difficult to find, but you can look at My812 and Nebo. Power dressing, which seems to have already been wiped out, is really only gaining momentum, and this season you can rethink it differently: canonically “feminine”, as in Chanel shows, or paying tribute to Peli Faylo's “old” Celine then you have to look for the oversized suits of cream shades that we saw on the Loewe and Rochas shows.
This season, designers offer a thoroughly nostalgic for the times of classic twos. The costume theme is broadcast as discreetly as possible, accompanied by raincoats, shirts, shoes and classic shoes, which send us to the Italian 1984 series Sprut. But the designers were inspired by the neon 80s - to a lesser extent. If you want more mood "Grace Jones at a party", look at the images from the shows of Balenciaga, Marc Jacobs, Maison Margiela and Balmain. One of the important trends of spring is pastel shades. This season, you can safely introduce any wardrobe items of faded, dull, light colors - from outerwear to footwear. It does not have to be beige or customarily light gray tones, but, for example, light purple, pale yellow, light green, as in the shows of the Eckhaus Latta, Marine Serre and N ° 21 brands.

I really like the vector on sport style, which has been held for several seasons in a row. It is still winter, and in the shops there is an invasion of bicycles, so that as soon as it gets warmer they will become a hit. I already have silver and black, I think to buy a couple more bright or with a python print. They can be easily combined with strict jackets and crop tops. I found cool at Prix Workshop - with unusual cutouts.
In the fashion of the 90s and 2000s, neon things do not lose their relevance. If you are afraid to dress all at once bright, you can focus on the image with one thing. For example, plain clothes plus an acid bag.
Shoe feathers are another clear trend of spring. Not the most practical, but just pay attention to you. And rhinestones - very often they decorate sports items or strict black wardrobe items.
The ideal thing for spring is a jumpsuit similar to the shape of a worker. The most beautiful - in Isabel Marant. The style of trousers that is relevant for the new season is cargo, voluminous with large pockets. Now noticed a trend in instagram - wear them wrapped in boots! While it looks weird, so I am for a combination with sneakers or more elegant - with shoes.
The most important accessory - Panama. Just not so cold and you can put aside the annoying hat. I like the colorful or varnish. Varnish generally excellent spring texture. Pants or skirts made of patent leather always look impressive and often very sexy. The collection of Eytys x H & M was just a patent leather jacket - a universal thing.
If you decide to buy a bag, I advise you to pay attention to the young brands: Wandler, Staud, Kara, Medea - you can definitely find an unusual option and it is unlikely that half of your friends will have the same option. Look for bead bags, Susan Alexandra was the first to make them popular, and analogues can now be found in Zara and Mango.
As for textures, the animal print is still in trend, but instead of the classic "leopard", the option "under the zebra" or "tiger" is gaining momentum. You can limit the belt of such colors or add a degree of extravagance and buy a coat, there is a nice Topshop site.
