This spring, there’s no need to review your entire wardrobe. A simple detail is enough to add a touch of pep to very classic outfits.
When the sunny days return, the coats become lighter, as do the materials, but ultimately, many pieces remain the same. So to avoid the feeling of déjà vu, it’s all in the details.
Indeed, in cities like Paris, New York or Copenhagen, the silhouettes spotted in recent weeks follow this same logic. We stick to simple basics: a midi skirt, a shirt, a blazer, a pair of sneakers or ballet flats. Many continue to opt for neutral tones, black, gray, beige. However, a colorful note is generally enough to enhance the smallest basic and breathe a breath of fresh air into the outfit.
In this logic, one button adapts to everything. In a slightly preppy look with a skirt and moccasins, it breaks the too-demure side. On a more casual outfit with sneakers and a tank top, it adds relief. The colors vary according to your desire: pastel for a softer look, more lively for those who want to emphasize this little twist.
Moreover, in terms of colors, purple remains very present this season, just like yellow, mint green or light blue. Some play with coordination by recalling an already present piece, others prefer to create a clear contrast. And it also works with overlays. We often think of the upper body for this, but more and more, the gaze goes down. On an all-white silhouette, for example, a touch of color is enough to change the balance.
And this twist, in fact, plays out in a place that we had somewhat forgotten. Not at the level of the bag, nor the jewelry, but lower. Socks, long invisible or confined to basic white, are finally taking their revenge. Very high, colorful, sometimes in lace, sometimes more sporty, they become a real style choice. We see them over sneakers, combined with stilettos, or even with sandals. They are the ones who bring that little extra something.
At the editorial office, we are particularly setting our sights on the multi-colored collection from Uniqlo at 3.90 euros per pair, also those in a transparent, patterned version, at 15.69 euros at Coucou Suzette. Particular favorite for those with lemons and daisies. And finally, we love the cotton knee-highs from the Falke brand, in burgundy, light blue and also khaki tones at 22 euros per pair.
