LONG LEAN spring layers

Words by ALICIA UNDERLEE NELSON

Spring’s temperature swings call for smart layers. Luckily, designers are ready with flattering tops, tunics and dresses that are light enough for sunny days and thin enough to wear under jackets, cardigans and blazers during cool spring nights.

Lengthen and flatter with a streamlined tunic or a longer length top. Whether you choose a classic white button-down or a colorful patterned tunic, the longer hem offers an easy, figure-flattering option for most women. Just make sure it fits well in the shoulders and arms and doesn’t have too much volume throughout. This style should skim your curves, not envelop them. Pair with something slim-fitting on the bottom — think leggings or skinny jeans — for a simple spring look.

For a sweetly feminine alternative, try an Aline dress or skirt. Whether they’re worn with tights and boots on rainy spring days or bare legs when it’s sunny, these pieces are flattering and versatile.

Accessorize with a long pendant necklace to keep the long, lean look going. Or try an armful of colorful, beaded bracelets. Layering jewelry is an easy way to add color, texture and personality to your spring outfits.
