Fashion is Purchased, Style is Created: Investments to Refresh Your Spring Wardrobe

Written by Emily Spennato

Nicole Miller’s Spring 2022 Collection represents a world finding normalcy. Bright colors, bold prints, nostalgic styles and patterns have us imagining the rebirth of our wardrobes and our social calendars. If you’re thinking, ”Where am I going to wear all this?”, you’re not alone. From a paillettes dress straight out of Studio 54 to fearless floral pattern denim, when exploring this collection it’s hard to believe that we’ve been living in our gym clothes for the past two years. 

From dining out to planning vacations and saving the date, at Nicole Miller Manayunk we know that fashion is all a balancing act. We’re always planning ahead to what new seasons will bring while styling what’s currently in the boutique. The new normal for the season? Investment pieces and the accessories that will carry them through the entire year. 

Truly a day-to-night dress, the Stretch Lauren Sheath Dress is a Spring to Summer staple.  With a high neck and flattering silhouette, this dress is perfect for anything from the office to a late-night bite. The shape is classic but the material is light and movable. Available in coral, denim blue, orchid, black and white, in addition to other styles, you’ll keep the Lauren dress on deck in any weekend or overnight bag. Complete the look with a denim jacket; a classic staple but is improved with a modern cropped edge. 

When it’s time to turn on vacation-mode, the Oasis Silk Balloon Sleeve Maxi Dress will help you flip the switch. It mirrors Nicole’s Spring 2022 mood with bold colors and happy prints. A maxi dress that clasps at the waist providing a flattering silhouette with movable comfort is the staple for a baby shower, luncheon, or early summer happy hour. Pair it with a jean jacket and clog for an easy and versatile look. 

Emery’s chunky color blocked sole is a go-to when your outfit needs just the perfect amount of ‘pop’. This bold, retro-style shoe is lifted on a rubber sole for maximum comfort. Trust us on this one. These shoes are the touch of flare your outfit needs while still remaining neutral. We dare you to find an outfit they don’t match.

The Cashmere Ruana is a fan favorite and the final touch in perfecting the summer chic look. This luxurious shawl is effortlessly elegant while remaining the epitome of comfort; the Nicholas Sparks of outerwear. With so many ways-to-wear and colors to choose from, it’s a perfect addition to a casual or professional look. 

Pair the blocked soles and cashmere Ruana together for a look straight out of a romantic comedy.

Great clothes need an essential carry on tote to travel to any destination. Wherever you go, the MZ Wallace Large Metro Tote Deluxe is a full range accessory. It pulls together casual looks and is made with a durable and light material for easy travel. Whether you’re staying organized on vacation, toting gym clothes, or being pulled in every other direction, the MZ Wallace Large Metro Tote is ready for whatever you are.

Fashion is what you buy, but style is what you do with it. What will your new normal look like? Nicole Miller Manayunk stylists can help you answer that question and what you need to freshen your wardrobe.
