The new season approaches and it’s time for a wardrobe update.  For spring and summer, beauty is defined by its sense of individuality and its unwillingness to be defined. 

This is the season of free-spirited choice, both in color and fashion, it’s the time to make style your own and to feel feminine and fabulous.  With the dizzying array of choices at CSTMIZ, we’re always ready to give you a helping hand.

Reign impressive in swaying silhouettes veering around sleek skirt styles and chic shifts to delicate baby doll looks.  The spring overture calls for a long, billowing, romantic silhouette, one that sets focus on the waist while layers of wispy frothy chiffon smoothly cascade over the body.  Get a head start in this season with ruffles in clean silhouettes in soft pastels and white.  Spring formal fashions in blue inspire hope.  Sky blue, aqua and baby blue hues mark the delicate formal dress designs of spring, as well as shades of sage and cornflower and blush colors.  Black on white mixed with color blocks portrays classic style.  Blue is the color of hope, friendship and peace, timely themes for a turbulent world.

Spring fashion designers show blue highlights in silk tops, polka dot dresses and crinkle fabrics.  Styles like overlays and flyways add romance and charm, while simple silhouettes of empire, a-line and princess shapes make the look timeless in blues.  So get ready for the spring summer blues.

Ruffles and tiers are everywhere, be it to ornate the bustline or trim your hem.  Ruffles add a chic glam factor to any dress.  Tiered skirts are having a serious comeback.  This trend can go to a unique route, the refined ballroom skirt or the breezy peasant dress.

Last year’s asymmetrical hem has been replaced by the high-low dress.  The hem, which is short in the front and longer in the back is so unique and adorable; you’ll have all eyes on you.  It’s a great alternative because it’s short enough to dance in but long enough to look dressy.  Those of you who can’t choose between the formal full length and the bold attempt to go short, don’t sweat it.  Choose this hi/low dress.  Sound weird? Maybe, but the look screams glamour.

Summer brings a sense of simplicity and airiness colored by individualistic fashion.  Fashion offers a plethora of options to choose the best dress in the best color and style for you.  Dress up in the classic shades of red, white and blue.  Splash to get the nautical inspiration for the season in sexy striking solid colors and floral fancy.

The season is an absolute charmer with a fresh and airy appeal. Keep the looks simple.  This hints at a poetic inspiration and brings to the fore your true femininity.  Nothing exudes elegance like the breezy feeling of a gorgeous dress accented by incredible yet simple detail.  The season calls for light airy flimsy skirts and dresses in flowing chiffons and illustrious jerseys.
