Dressing for Spring 2019: Texture

Express Style

Texture is an element in style that is highly underappreciated. While color speaks to emotion, texture speaks to personality. An all black outfit in a flat fabric is instantly elevated  to sexy and chic when done with leather and fringe. Here's how to make the Textures of  Spring  2019  your own by your Style Personality: 

Classic: LAce

Christopher Kane, Spring 2019

Next to a strand of pearls, nothing is as timeless as lace. It's sophisticated and sensual without being sexy when paired on tailored silhouettes and can be worn as a day-time staple.  As a Classic Style Personality, you'll look fantastic when you update your suiting with a lace blouse or pair up a lace pump with a simple sheath dress.  Be sure to look for lace in your signature hue on your next shopping excursion. 

Feminine: Tulle

Valentino, Spring 2019 Ready-to-Wear

Your childhood dream has come true! It you're a Feminine Style Personality, now is the time to dress as a ballerina princess in this uber romantic fabric. Pair your tulle pieces with structured items to keep the look from being too ingenue. Pair up a tulle skirt with a tailored blazer and kitten heels. For just a touch of tulle, lookout for accessories and embellishment on basic pieces.

Sexy:Fringe

Tom Ford, Spring 2019

Fringe sways to the beat of the Sexy Woman's walk! This embellished fabric shouts excitement and confidence of the Sexy Style Personality. Fringe details on shoes in a bright color are the perfect accompaniment for a sleek white pant. Try out an all-over fringe skirt with a crisp white blouse for work. 

Comfort: Crochet 

Phillip Lim, Spring 2019

Crochet brings up memories leisure and comfort; the perfect texture for the Comfort Woman.  The ease of crochet provides the perfect sensibility for your Style Personality while invoking interest. Team up a crochet maxi skirt with a bleached denim  jacket and basic tee for a casual work day. On the weekends, a crochet flat is great with your favorite shorts and tank matched to a belt bag.
