10 inevitable spring wardrobe hits
EVERY SEASON we talk about things that it makes sense to add to your wardrobe. So this time we chose 10 items of clothing and footwear that you will most likely inevitably buy in the next three months. Just because they will be in every store and on every mannequin.
Skirt with a slit
We admit that not many of us have a beautiful skirt in our wardrobe with a deep slit to the thigh. And this is a big omission. Besides the fact that such a skirt is an easy way to add sexuality to the image, it is also a universal thing. The main thing is to choose monophonic and asymmetric. Combination options million: in early spring, the skirt can be combined with ankle boots and boots; when warmer - wear with sandals or pointed shoes with a small heel and funny socks. This skirt is perfect for a beautiful sweater, ski jacket or turtleneck. In the summer, you can wear it with a bra-top, as shown by Nazir Mazhar.

Striped things
We have already written about the return to the fashion of striped pattern. It will remain relevant at least until next year. The strips can be very different, but you cannot get away with one vest. The most fashionable are the multi-colored stripes of mint or rich bright colors, but not black and white: pink, yellow, blue - as in the spring show of Peter Pilotto. The main tricks of this spring are to learn how to combine a multicolored strip together, as well as to combine striped items with other prints, such as checkered and floral. However, you can get by with a safe option: buy a thing (say, pants or a skirt) in a thin white strip and wear it with something monophonic.

Flared pants
Recently, we talked about flared trousers that flashed on almost every show of the next autumn-winter 2015 season. However, one has to take into account that the popularity of fashion at the junction of the 60s and 70s will be in the spring and summer. By the autumn, the 80s, gothic, baroque and retro will replace hippie boom. Therefore, in addition to suede clothes and shoes on the platform, we advise you to get flushes as soon as possible. They can be long to the floor or shortened. We recommend to pay attention to the shortened versions. They have more grooves and they even fit sneakers, sandals and mules, while long flares will oblige you to wear platform shoes.

Mini skirt
We are excited about the return of sexuality after the previous enough androgynous seasons. This spring and summer is to replenish the wardrobe skirts, and the most different. Mini will be the most current length. Variants of combining short skirts weight: from blouses with bows, turtlenecks and sweaters to bombers and ski jackets. Do not forget that crazy tights have returned to fashion, so if a soul asks to wear a skirt with tights in a net, a heavy army jacket and latex ankle boots, nothing should stop you. The main thing that you were comfortable in this.

Leather coat
Leather coat is a practical thing and in the Russian weather conditions it will be relevant all spring from March to May. We recommend choosing from two options. This could be a leather coat-cocoon in the style of the 80s (by the way, the trendy thing of the next fall) or a fitted coat from the 70s, like in the heroes of blackboarding films. The latter wore leather raincoats with bell bottoms and aviator glasses. In fact, in order not to rush between two fires, look for a leather fitted coat of exaggerated volume, like a man’s shoulder. Best of all, it will look on a fragile girl in combination with a turtleneck, wide trousers and boots in men's style. For an example, you can refer to the French brand Y / Project.

A-line dress
A-silhouette dresses can be seen at almost every spring-summer show, as well as platform shoes. This dress is one of the vivid examples of fashion at the junction of the 60s and 70s, plus due to its laconic cut it fits perfectly into the concept of the next autumn with its retro-futurism. What is good in a short trapezoid dress is that among the many models you can find evening options decorated with embroidery, cuts, appliqués, and daytime plain, suede or denim. The easiest and win-win version of the combination for every day - with a turtleneck and boots.

Sandals on the platform
Platforms have comeback this year straight from the 70s. So in spring and summer sandals on the platform will become the obvious must-have. They wore a glam band of rock gamblers fifty years ago and did not disdain to wear the singer Cher, going to a party in the cult "Studio 54". The combination of sandals on the platform and a colored fur coat still works with a bang. Make a bet on sandals with a wild and multi-colored platform: they can be worn safely with crazy tights and a short skirt or a trapezoid dress, as well as flared pants. For those who want a more versatile option, we recommend to pay attention to the sandals of pastel colors.

Color Park
Almost everyone has a park or anorak. It is not surprising: an elongated jacket with a hood saves from wind and bad weather from year to year. This spring, interpretations of the well-known jacket are welcome. Judging by the reports from fashion weeks, at the peak of popularity are multi-colored parks of pastel and rich colors, as well as jackets with prints. For example, Marc by Marc Jacobs offer a white park and combine it with things of yellow color, T by Alexander Wang show turquoise, orange and silver. VFILES and Jeremy Scott put graphic prints on the park as if from party posters.

Ski jacket
Recently, we wrote how ski jackets in the fashion of the 70s flashed in Milan at the autumn shows MSGM or Versace, and in London such tops with a zipper showed Thomas Tate. The Briton made them from vinyl and combined them with a mustard-colored coat. The first Olympiks with a zipper showed Louis Vuitton a year ago. Early spring is the time for a ski jacket. Wear it under a coat, with wide or narrowed trousers, with a short skirt or flares. In a word, time to climb on the mezzanine, for sure there will be a suitable top there.

Long Sleeveless Jacket
Long sleeveless jackets are not the most obvious thing to buy. However, they deserve attention, especially as they look not so trivial as jackets. Acne did open the spring-summer show with just such a sleeveless jacket, combining it with bell bottoms. The detail that will revive the jacket can be borrowed at the same show: you will need an ordinary silk scarf tied around the neck. You can also wear a sleeveless jacket with culottes, a pencil skirt or bermuda shorts. The last option offered Raf Simons and Phillip Lim. From shoes fit all universal set: ankle boots, pointed flats, sandals and platform shoes, mules, sneakers, boots.
