Welcome to the Jungle

The Safari look is one of my favorites for the season. Though it seems a little hard to interpret for everyday wear, this is actually one of the easiest looks to reinvent. Khaki, beige, cream, or olive drab pants fit this look, as do shirt dresses in the same colors. Or, belt a jacket or cardigan over bootcut pants and a white button-down top. Yaya’s has two great jackets that would be perfect for this look.

First, try this Maestro silver glazed linen coat. The empire waist and double-breast are classy and flattering, adding a look of elegance to any outfit. The light silver fabric compliments an array of skin tones. Wear it with jeans for a dressed-up weekend look or black pants for a workday look.

Armand & Alba’s one-button cardigan in khaki is a great look for this trend. The lightweight knit and ¾ length sleeves are great for warm spring days, worn over a floral dress or with khaki capris and a white silk top. The swingy, cropped silhouette is fun and fresh for the season, and the khaki color compliments any outfit. Try it in yellow, too.

To update your winter wardrobe, pick a fitted cardigan or jacket and add a great belt. Even a ribbon tied around the waist would be a great fresh touch. Click on the “jackets and sweaters” link above for more great finds.
