The day wear for spring collection is about voiles, cottons, soft lycra that is breathe-easy and the muslins.

For petite models, the flowing gown style frock is quite a choice. The colors seem great with yellows, ochre, orange and subtle hints of blue and green to emanate the cool look. The mystery of yesteryears is seen well with the blends in fabric like nylon-cotton and the trimmings are also preferred in silk or satin as they stay away from the body to still give you relief from the starting summer.

Taking the cue from nature, the motifs of a bird or butterfly suits a tall frame that can do much justice to a fly-away-style gown. The era of olden days can be captured with lace and edgings done in hand woven embroidery. This has great appeal in a sari or a wrap that has the borrowings of ethnic blend in a modern dress.

Go bright for a party theme with pinks, fuchsia and use some pearly accessories in acrylic beads or simple plastic ones give you more variety. Try the hair band that is simply girlie or use a broad sash done with a stole and wrap the same towards the low waist skirt. The simple use of culottes and denim wear in light weight fabrics is good for the casual day times.

This time too, the powdery colors are seen as they bring out the freshness about clothing. Men’s shirts too are seen in rare fruity colors and the dull grey is well suited with an off white Capri or a khakhi pant. The smart casual is particularly suited for Friday dressing to give the slight touch of corporate élan. Accessories this spring season are seen with the tote bag for night parties and the grocery jute bag hung cross shouldered for the day time.

Make use of contrast color with a lavender dress done simplistically with sequins in silver. Matching silver trinkets transform the dress into a party affair. Use peep toes, sandals or flat slippers that keeps your feet airy and cool.
