In wedding season, what comes along with the joys and wishes to the happy couples is the anxiety for what to wear to the parties. For such a romantic moment, the first color that came into my mind is coral. It’s pretty but not saccharine. It’s as sweet as pink without the seductive flare, as buoyant as orange without the brightness. Teamed with emerald-green, pastel blue or soft ivory, it’s perfect for wedding.

The fit-and-flare silhouette of the dresses these two stars chose flatters many body shapes. The knee-length is versatile and graceful. I also love how they accessorized the dresses: instead of going for safety neutrals, they opted for complementary colors or shades in the same color family, which lend a youthful, current and fresh vibe to the finishing looks.

These outfits are not only great for weddings, but also great for many other summer events: graduations, showers, hanging out with friends or downtown excursion.

Spring is a great time to “go green”. To incorporate this great color in our outfit, I featured these three looks above. Let’s learn some tips on how to rock different shades of green at every age stage!

The understated dark green on Emmy Rossum (above left) is a great start, especially for those of you who are wary of any brights. You can pair this color with neutrals (like the brown and grey on her) for a sophisticated look, or with prints (like the nautical striped sweater I paired below) for a modern, fresh look.

For women over 40, you can choose a knee-length version. Beware of proportion though: A-line skirt with fitted or cropped top (like Emmy Rossum did above) whereas pencil or mini skirt with oversized top (like I did below).

If you are ready to try bright colors, accessories are always a great place to start. Nicole Warne’s look (above middle) nailed the black and white trend and brightened up the outfit with a pop of beautiful eye-catching kelly green bag.

Not all of us are lucky enough to have her vintage dress and designer coat, but a printed sundress that can be worn year round and right-on-trend colorblock coat with leather sleeves are pieces easy to find and take no effort to style. PS: you have to own at least one pair of white shoes this season! This classic singe sole pointy toe version is definitely worth the investment.

This look is great for women at any age. You can change the green bag into any bright colored ones you already have in your closet.

Olivia Palermo is never afraid of colors and prints. And I especially appreciate the modern, fashion-forward way she mixes and matches them.

This look (above right) from her is easy for us to recreate: play with colors by pairing this sharply tailored green blazer with bright yellow skinny jeans, and ground the outfit with neutral bags and pumps, extra bonus for two tone versions.

Tailored blazer, skinny jeans and classic pumps are great go-to choices for women at any age. When it comes to colors, get experimental with any bright combination (blue and orange/pink, purple/red with yellow…) when you are under 30. Pick one bright piece for a more sophisticated look when over 40.
