The onset of the spring season marks the beginning of those radiant sun-kissed days amidst the beautiful backdrop of new leaves and fresh blooms, coupled with the caressing touch of warmth everywhere. Spring is the time to set yourself free from those layers of winter clothing and revamp your wardrobe collection with some really cool stuff, which would set the temperature soaring even higher!

Imbibing the aura of spring flowers

This is the ideal time of the year to invest in some really attractive floral prints. Spring has always been associated with the “wood” element, and floral motifs in dresses would perfectly complement this period of the year. Floral prints help in retaining a natural look and exude oodles of feminine charm. However, instead of opting for the large floral prints which are more suitable for upholstery, it would be a great idea to settle for the smaller ones with intricate detailing. If you are planning to step out in sunshine, sticking to cool and refreshing base colors such as white, lemon, lavender, mint or tangerine would simply work wonders for you.

Floral prints can be worn in tops, tunics, skirts and shrugs. Ruffled tops in delicate floral prints would further accentuate your feminine appeal. You surely cannot miss out on the awesome range of floral print designer dresses at the Orchard Mile. The dress length can be chosen on the basis of your personal preference.

Flirting with bold cuts in dresses

With the bright sunshine all around and the mercury slowly rising, it is not at all a bad idea to experiment with those hemlines and necklines, and reveal a bit of skin to celebrate the magic of new warmth in the air. Since you will be tucking away those bulky waist coats and cardigans into a dark corner of your wardrobe, why not fill up the space with a couple of off shoulder dresses?

During those prom nights, cocktail parties, or a date with your special someone in those breezy summer evenings, you would surely be thanking yourself for this decision. Orchard Mile boasts of a wide array of off shoulder dresses in bold colors, which would make a number of heads turn no matter wherever you go.

Good old peplum for a timeless appeal

The “retro” look in various forms has always re-appeared after regular intervals, in different phases of the fashion cycle. The fabulous peplum look goes really well with the essence of spring. Peplum happens to be a hot favorite amongst women of all sizes since it cleverly manages to conceal the extra inches and brings out the best assets. You can try out peplum tops with hipsters or you could also go for elegant pencil skirts in peplum with a well fitted blouse in classic white for a no nonsense look. For a night out with your gang of friends, you can simply slip into a loud peplum dress in wild stripes or animal print to end up stealing the show!

Flaunting your feet in open styles

It would always help if you give a little more priority to comfort over and above fashion, when it comes to the depiction of footwear for spring and summer. The Orchard Mile e-store has an exclusive collection of spring/summer shoes which score really high on the style index, and at the same time allow your feet to breathe and stay free from perspiration. You can flirt with an endless variety of trendy footwear such as flat mules, flip-flops in vibrant hues, low-heeled strappy sandals, and embellished ones for special occasions.

Adding a dash of bling with matching jewelry

Spring is definitely the season for a bit of bling, and you simply cannot go wrong with those cute and adorable drop earrings from the signature collections of leading designers available at Orchard Mile. They are available in a riot of pretty colors and are absolutely lightweight with splendid designs. Don’t forget to stock up on a couple of slender anklets with small danglers, and some chunky bracelets for rounding off the ravishing look.
