Spring in Tirana is unbelievable! Now it's that period of transition between seasons, where you don't know what to wear. Nothing catches your eye even if your wardrobe is full. In the morning the sun shines, but when you go outside you realize that summer hasn't arrived yet. You enter the office to go out for your lunch break and see that it has started to rain without any warning. You don't have an umbrella, you're wearing ballet flats and your hair is ruined!
How do you do it these days when the weather is so capricious?
1. Don't share your overcoat until the end of May.
If there's one thing the world's fashionistas have agreed on, it's the overcoat. The queen of the fickle spring, naturally combining functionality with style, being the ideal layer for unpredictable weather, neither too heavy, nor too light, but always stylish.
2. Layering is your secret art
All of a sudden we find ourselves like oysters in Copenhagen! Always prepared!
Layering doesn't mean wearing everything in your closet. It means thinking carefully: a basic blouse + an open shirt + a light denim jacket. Three options for every occasion that go well together.
The skirt is also one of those pieces that works at any time of the day, with a simple blouse for a casual look, or with heels and an elegant shirt for evening, from spring to fall.
3. Bags, your statement when clothes don't speak enough
The weather may be crazy, but your bag shouldn't be. The latest trends have moved away from logos and quiet luxury is being increasingly embraced.
Shapes, materials, sizes, and details today are much more interesting than a brand name.
4. Pastel colors
Light lilac, warm beige, baby blue: pastel shades remain the main choice of spring, with lavender replacing classic pink by being more sophisticated and a little more unexpected, but just as combinable.
An outfit entirely in pastels, from head to toe? It's called tonal dressing and it's the easiest trend to copy this season. It doesn't require a big budget, it requires eyes.
5. Lifestyle, every detail!
Ultimately, an outfit doesn't stop at clothes or even at clothes. It's the way you walk, how you carry your bag, how you stand, how you behave with strangers and acquaintances. How you enjoy the moment and all the conversations you have when you have coffee in one hand and IQOS in the other, if you're a user, which your outfit would thank you for if it could talk.
