Safari Chic
Mint Main - 4 years ago - Kathryn Lovell
Champagne wishes, Khaki dreams.
| Fashion took a walk on the wild side this spring. Designers re-visited the closets of great explorers and scoured global bazaars to create wardrobe basics with exotic touches. These safari inspired pieces are perfect for the urban jungle. Whether you’re observing silver foxes or documenting a new species of man sharks, you’ll be dressed to thrill all season.
|
Safari Jacket  Rugged and feminine, a safari jacket can do it all. Wear it with slacks or a slim skirt for sophisticated style. Pair it with jeans or an A-line skirt for a ‘ready for anything’ look.
|
Chinos  Finally, a trend that’s already a classic. Play it safe with camel, or show your sense of adventure with a pair olive or chocolate chinos.
|
Jewelry  Big jewelry in natural materials, like wood and horn, make it easy to add global appeal to any outfit. Wear coral or turquoise for a splash of color. |

Shore Thing
Mint Main - 4 years ago - Kathryn Lovell
She sells sea shells
and buys new shoes.
| Taking a cue from sea faring crews around the world, spring runways were awash with sailing influences. Fortunately, you don’t need sea legs to dress the part. These nautically inspired pieces will keep your wardrobe on an even keel. Even if you don’t know starboard from port, there are plenty of reasons to kiss a sailor this season.

Sailor Stripe Shirt  We all owe the US Navy a thank you card for the debuting the T shirt during WWII. The French Navy gets credit for the stripes. Members of exclusive yacht clubs made it fashionable. Wear yours with an A-line skirt or a pair of chinos for ship shape style.
|
Sailor Pants  Traditional sailor pants have a total of 15 buttons (13 on the outside, 2 on the inside). Fortunately, the civilian styles are easier navigate. Add heels and fitted blouse for a modern, professional look. A T shirt and sandals takes you to brunch on the weekend
|
Espadrilles  First popularized in the 1950s, espadrilles are a mainstay of spring and summer fashion. Choose the classic flat style or sass it up with a wedge heel version- it will be smooth sailing either way. |
