Helene M. Fashion Blog

Keep Things Light. It’s such a good mantra all around.  And at this time of year fashion embodies that frame of mind.  Fabrics seem to float and hemlines rise. Color, whether bold or wispy, is infused and refreshed.  The official Pantone color report for spring this season (see link at the bottom for the Pantone report) is one of unexpected hues.  We see bold ones like turquoise and unexpected tomato, while some designers have honed in on earthier notes like herb and eucalyptus. The spectrum is nuanced and lovely on both ends.  Gauzy cashmere, sheer linen, silk, and slub cotton all make for ethereal concoctions that we can feel comfortable in. Half the fun of dressing is layering and creating what it is that we will move in while we go about our day. This season is inspired by doing just that with ease, and by keeping things light.
