spring

It’s basically spring and while flowers may not be in full bloom just yet, you are already itching to slip into that flawless dress you have saved for warmer times. You know the dress – that Spring/Summer collection one you bought even though you knew it was still way too early in the season to wear it. Or maybe it was the one you found at that insane sale you went to where cruel fate led you to your dream chiffon while the temperature outside was still uncooperative. Either way, we have some great news for you: you CAN wear that dress, TODAY! And it isn’t because you are in a time warp and have been miraculously fast-forwarded into May, but because you have a handy guide to making your spring wear weather-appropriate.

Gucci Sweater EGP7,775Sweater on Top

Provided your dress is not of the empire waist variety, why not give it the appearance of a skirt? Go for a prim and proper vintage look with narrower fitted jumpers, or opt for a chunky knit if you need extra insulation from the spring chills.
