As a result of today’s temporary increase in temperature, we at Max & Chloe have gotten a minor case of spring fever. News of near-40 degree weather has us reminiscing about sweet, sweet springtime—and looking forward to the season’s impending arrival.
You’ve probably noticed some exciting spring trends that have already begun to surface amidst the bitter cold; and one that we absolutely love is the combination of anti-geometrical shapes with the sleek sophistication of neutral safari tones. Slouchy and free-flowing is in, and we’ve got some great pieces that will seamlessly follow this hot spring trend.
Designers like Gucci and Stuart Weitzman love the strappy stiletto look, combining the fierceness of a tall heel with the whimsy of a brown leather sandal. Hobo bags feature plush leather with a hint of hardware. From shoes to accessories, the juxtaposition of rural playfulness and big city sophistication makes quite a statement. To make sure your jewelry follows suit, we’ve compiled a collection of safari chic pieces that will have you ready and raring to hit the town this spring.
While clutching your hobo on your shoulder, why not show off some bold gold on your fingers? We recommend Marcia Moran’s Gold Stack Rings, a beautifully unconventional alternative to a plain gold band. For a more literal “safari” look, the Presh Gold Elephant Ring will catch everyone’s attention. Blu Bijoux Cabochon Rings (we love them in coral and white) feature a cluster of cabochon stones on gold-plated rings. Wear a couple on one hand for a fun bohemian look.
If you really love the idea of a slouchy style, the Ettika Phaistos Gold Coin Bracelet is a good place to start building an outfit. Seen above, the black silk band strikes the Aztec style coin to form a stunning piece. Pair with Kenneth Jay Lane’s Black Wood Teardrop Earrings, grab your slouchy leather bag, and you’re good to go.
Another fun set of jewels to finish off your carefree look is the Rebecca Norman Turquoise Ring, along with the Pade Vavra Snake Cuff. The color of snake’s eyes in the detail of the bracelet offsets the ring’s bold hue.
The Isharya Turquoise Nizam Cuff is yet another safari chic piece we love for this spring’s fashion. The earthy brown wood is the perfect subdued canvas for the flourish of turquoise, gold, ruby and cubic zirconia. Versatile and colorful, this cuff will complement any look you put together.
And that’s the latest on this spring’s must-have look. When the temperature rises (soon, we hope!), you’ll be catwalk-ready, making the safari trend look so easy.
