WHAT’S IN A WARDROBE? Your Male & Female Spring Style Guide for a Versatile Wardrobe Powered by IATEKATEMOSS MADE BY XUXA DAY If you’re truly into expressing yourself through your wardrobe, there comes a time where boardrooms and fashion will collide. Whether you have a meeting, conference call, or are just running to pick up coffee - presentation is everything. Of course a tailored suit is always a no fail scenario. However, style lets your mind wander far off into attire that could be worn front row to New York Fashion Week. A new season is amongst us which means it’s time to do some Spring cleaning or sprucing up to your closet. Make sure you’re not skimping out on your Sunscreen nor these fashion staples that you’ll need at the office and happy hour at your local watering hole. We as separate sexes need certain accessories to tie into our daily get-ups when bringing the final touches to our fits. For women, we suggest you spice up your outfit with a mix of gems and pops of color. The go-to bag for this season will be a bucket bag. Inside will be all of your goods and gadgets to keep you stylish all day long. From head to toe, you’ll be able to pair two to three of these accessories together without clashing. Try this tan leather drawstring bag from Nordstrom ($49.90). A scarf can always be worn as a multi-faceted piece as it can be tied in various ways. You could end up with an ascot in the office, a turban that’ll make June Ambrose jealous, or even a retro seventies era headwrap. The scarf is the easiest to obtain whether you want to go ultra-chic and sport fine silks from Hermès or be thrifty with a paisley print from H&M. There’s a great new brand of stylish wraps by YouTube guru Ambrosia Malbrough which are flying off the racks and won’t pinch all of your pennies ($20). Jewelry is the mint garnish to your mojito this Spring. Stacked rings are always a key item to keep your fingers dancing during office hours on the laptop along with your posh gel mani. You can splurge on jewelry when it’s a statement purchase. Treat yourself to gold delicacies from Margiela ($460), tech-savvy jewel-tone rings from Ringly ($195) and a fancy namesake to show off along with your business cards (pricing varies). You should walk into a room with all the pride and fashion sense in the world with a strut to match. Platforms add some sass and they are all the rage amongst women who are our fashion inspo like Solange Knowles. Solange has been seen sporting these platform oxfords by Stella McCartney ($995).
