APRIL FASHION Follow your instincts

Feel free to throw out the rule book and follow your heart when dressing for spring!

While runways are filled with trends, they’re inclusive and just about anything goes, noted Kammi Tibbs, owner of Envie on Pensacola Beach Boardwalk.

Loose flowy styles, including maxi skirts and gauze, are in. But so are tailored suits, oversized blazers and knits. Vivid green, fuschia and bright pops of color are everywhere, but lavender, mint and neutrals are softer spring options. Pantswise, straight jeans, trousers and cargo pants look current, said Zoe Babcock of Envie.

Polish off your spring outfits with classic gold hoops, dainty necklaces, loafers and beloved and comfy athletic shoes.

Shopping list: With summer around the corner, a strappy relaxed dress is a cool choice! This Cleobella dress, $244, invokes a Boho vibe, perfectly teamed with a sun hat and chunky sandals that can easily be kicked off.
