In with the new this season…as in the new shapes of fashion. This can be in the form of an asymmetrical top with a bandeau bodice and one sleeve or a jacket with strong shoulders. Discover ruffles in unexpected places and playful pleats in dresses and skirts. Definitely use this summer to play with interesting clothing cuts and statement accessories, including a watch in a bold color.
A simple addition for a summer splash that can be either old or new is a big, shiny cocktail ring. Consider a gold bauble and let it shine in the sun, keeping other accessories to a minimum for a casual, yet winning look.

In winter we sang endlessly the blues, but no longer. This May is all about green. We’re talking eye-popping verde in shades of a rain forest and the multi-dimensional vert of a shamrock. You’ll see this on everything from shoes to leather handbags to double-breasted blazers and bangles. Can you wear this color? Given the above listing, of course you can. Grab a green bag or slip on a green sandal. Balance out the look with a neutral-colored watch. No need to go head-to-toe green like a gecko, unless you’re really channeling the hills of Ireland.
An ensemble that pairs perfectly with green accessories is the belted shirtdress, which offers crisp freshness and a tailored silhouette. It’s a great look for many because belted at the waist, it gives you chic definition right where you need it.
