How to Look Good this Spring from the Hills to the Casino

Despite the still admittedly temperamental weather, springtime has arrived! It is the time of year where women up and down the country begin to pack up their coats, stow away their fluffy hats and banish their woolly cardigans. It is that turning point, when winter’s harsh weather seems to be fading, where we can begin to dream about floating dresses, strappy sandals and shiny sunglasses. Spring not only brings the renewal of wardrobes, but also a host of seasonal activities for which to dress. With this in mind, we present to you fashionistas three springtime outings and how to dress for the occasion!

Casino Chic

Whilst a trip to the casino may be available all year, when it is cold and damp outside many prefer a cup of hot cocoa and an online casino. That is certainly preferable to the rainy, windy journey to your local gambling establishment. Realistically, when you can download a variety of Microgaming casinos at PureMicrogaming.com, who is going to tackle the elements to get their gambling fix? This is especially the case when you consider that casino fashion in all its glitzy glory is hardly appropriate for falling temperatures and severe gales.

Las Vegas’ Strip was recently voted the top tourist attraction in the world, and we are pretty sure a heavy percentage of those who voted were diamanté and rhinestone enthusiasts. What is so wonderful about Casino Chic is its unashamed flamboyance. At no other social occasional would vibrant colours, stacks of accessories and reams of glittering material be not only appropriate, but also expected.

Hiking Hip

In contrast to Casino Chic, we have Hiking Hip. Hiking is one of the most popular springtime pastimes. Whilst comfort is of supreme importance when racking up the miles on foot, that does not mean you cannot look fabulous at the same time. A pair of Hunter wellington boots are not only deliciously practical but painfully trendy, giving your hiking gear an edgy, festival feel. Meanwhile, the addition of a lightweight and oversized dress will not only give you oodles of bohemian charm but will gift you the movement and breathing room needed.

Equine Elegance

One of the biggest springtime sports around the world is horse racing. Moreover, with the Grand National fast approaching, there has never been a better time to equip yourself with some Equine Elegance.

There are two distinctive ways you can go with this look. You can give your gingham shirt and Daisy Duke hot pants a dusting off in order to deliver some authentic rodeo realness. Or, for those Anglophiles out there, go classy and OTT with some traditional National Hunt glamour. This consists of a pair of sturdy high heels, a gravity defying hat, loud splashes of colour and perfectly fitted tailoring.
