Melrose Style Guide

Refer back to a small piece of our post on trending fashion colors for spring/summer 2023, where we discuss Pantone's color of the year, Viva Magenta 18-1750, and the mantra behind it; the encouragement of exploration and self-expression. While this pushes for bold colors and prints, a range of neutral earth-tone colors are creeping to the forefront of fashion this spring – think of a variety of browns, greys, greens, beige, etc. This week, My Melrose talks about earth-tone colors; what colors go with these varieties, and how to create outfits inspired by natural colors we see every time we go outside. 

"Chill time" doesn't have a dedicated date on the calendar. Instead, we all find ways to have a good time and escape from our routines. With the weather warming up, fun and exciting events start to pop up, like Coachella in California, Lolapalooza in Chicago, Fiesta in the My Melrose headquarters city of San Antonio, Texas, and so much more. This week, we want to talk about festival fashion derived from the mainly bohemian style and more vibrant and colorful inspirations for events like Fiesta. 

Last week, My Melrose featured how to casually wear fuchsia to showcase effortless looks in their bold presentation of the color fuchsia. This week, we're featuring more sophisticated looks to showcase more refined outfits that are professional, elevated, and stylish for a night out. So explore your femininity and power and be inspired by the four polished, dressed-up looks to keep you on trend for spring with varieties of tops for women, pants, and ladies' shoes, specifically heels. 

The spring season calls for vibrant colors as temperatures gradually rise, bringing back life to the trees and their green leaves and awakening the bloom of various flowers. Fuchsia is our featured color in your local My Melrose and Melrose Family Fashions stores. Some might find wearing this vivid pinkish-purplish-red color challenging, but have no fear; we will show you various ways to wear this exquisite color throughout spring. This week, we are showcasing two different casual outfits that are fabulous in fuchsia. 

Essential fashion items don't have to be dressed in a drab and boring way, despite their affordability and versatility. For example, casually wear a simple, solid-colored shirt with denim or linen and accessorize with a belt, some jewelry, and a contrasting handbag. Another way to use essential fashion is to dress it up with dress pants or a flowing skirt. My Melrose shows three basic top styles in brilliant and exciting spring colors like orange, kelly green, and red. This week's entry in the My Melrose Style Guide showcases different ways to spruce and freshen these bright basics using a variety of bottoms, shoes, and bags. 

Following our post about the Pantone spring/summer 2023 colors, we have new apparel with many of the colors shown. This week, we have curated five fashion outfits to illustrate better ways to wear some of the upcoming season's colors. Our outfits featured below channel exploration and self-expression in creative ways using basic silhouettes and layering to drive more interest and inspiration in elevating essential pieces.
