Cinco De Mayo Styles That Are Cooler Than a Fresh Margarita

Celebrating Cinco de Mayo isn't just about drinking ice cold margaritas; embracing the holiday's bold colors and festive style is all part of the fun. And we aren’t talking about ponchos and sombreros, instead we encourage you to wear fun fringe, bohemian prints, and Mexican-inspired embroidery, because nothing puts us in the mood to fiesta quite like the perfect outfit.

Cinco de Mayo means the "Fifth of May" in Spanish and it's celebrated in America and regionally in Mexico. The day is also a holiday in the state of Puebla, Mexico and commemorates the Mexican army's victory over the French forces at the battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.

Get into the spirit by channeling the traditional and vibrant clothing found in Mexican culture. The Mexican flag is red, white, and green. We have gathered some of the cutest styles for you to dance the night away. We encourage you to channel the look by searching for the country's national colors and mixing it with embroidery for a more modern look. It can be as simple as wearing a white jean jacket such as our Distressed Floral Embroidery Crop Denim Jacket, or our Red Plus Size Fold Over Off The Shoulder Bodycon Mini Dress, looking for something green? How about our festive Olive Plus Size Tacos & Tequila Graphic Print Ruched Cami Top to get you in the mood… it is a fiesta after all!

Embroidery & Flower details are a big part of Mexican heritage; they are also one of the biggest fashion trends at the moment, check out our “Embroidery” and “Floral” page for an endless selection of Spring and Summer styles; from clothes, to shoes, to accessories! And though the festivities may only last for a day, the bright and colorful looks are something to be celebrated all season long, which is why we included our favorite pieces to stock up on. Some of our favorites include the Embroidered Floral Suede Chunky Heel, Off-The-Shoulder Lace Bell Sleeves Crop Top, Crochet Knit Ruffle Mini Dress, Embroidered Floral Tassel Clutch Bag and many, many more to choose from.

The Colors of Spring Fashion

Spring is officially in full bloom, and so are our fashion options.  Just like the weather seasons, spring fashion is a time where we can depart from the freezing cold hues of subdued gray, earth tones, and blacks, and step into more vibrant colors that enliven our spirits.

And true to form, the runways were ablaze with fiery red, deep cobalt blues, surprising Emerald greens, sunlit yellows, and of course, a few gorgeous pastels.  So whether you're wearing some color from head to toe, with minimal accessories, or incorporating it as a pop statement wardrobe piece, color can really do wonders to add energy not only to your overall look, but your mood as well. One of the reasons why I truly love incorporating color into my wardrobe.

So what are the main hues to take a look at? Well of coarse vibrant red is one of the most popular choices for springtime.  But don't shy away from equally bold hues like yellow, which looks wonderful when worn head to toe, and my personal favorite color of the season, cobalt blue. Cobalt blue can actually work as a statement piece that replaces the little black dress for evenings out.

And let's not forget the beautiful softer side of spring, by wearing some pastels. Lavender is a gorgeous tone for most any skin type, and blush colored tones have also made a huge statement on the runways.

And perhaps the most tried and true color of spring? Mint. We love mint. It works well with other pastel colors, can be punched up with blue tones, even works well with softer reds, and of course some yellows.

And don't be afraid to try and unexpected color like emerald. You don't often see this color incorporated into wardrobe, which makes it a wonderful statement piece when you do.

So what colors are you excited to try for spring? Leave me a comment telling me all about it.
