Akris Spring 2011 - Monochromatic Cuts

The brand, Akris, has been on my radar for the past couple recent seasons. After coming to the realization how far a fine tailored suit with quality fabric can go in a woman's (and a man's for that matter) wardrobe. Truly, I can't ever seem to get enough of blazers. It is amazing how put together a woman can look with a blazer. A blazer with jeans, a blazer with a dress, a blazer with shorts, or a blazer with a skirt - there are multiple ways in which someone can wear a jacket. Cotton, linen, and some virgin wools are the best fabrics to wear this summer. A white blazer is a necessity this season, as it has been shown multiple times throughout many of the shows. 

Another trend that is shown in this Akris collection is how monochromatic all of the outfits are. This is a trend that has only recently appealed to me. I especially love what the shorts suit has to offer in the color white. Not only does it look amazing all put together, but the separate pieces themselves can be used other ways. The key to a monochromatic outfit, is choosing stand out accessories. A pop of color in a belt and/or shoe is certain to make the outfit look more put together.

Shirt-dresses is a great option for a woman's summer wardrobe in the workplace. This baby blue color is so fresh for the season.

This color linen is a true favorite of mine for the spring/summer time. The high collar and lack of lapels makes for a unique change. The jacket meant to hit perfectly at the hip is sure to be universally flattering.
