All About Austria: some fashion observations...

Colorful promises for spring

Striking & stylish choices
In March 2012,




I was on a whirlwind visit to Austria and took the opportunity to observe what people are wearing and how stylish - or otherwise -  the community is.

In this case, the "community" was really just Vienna and Salzburg, as I was only in the country for six days.

It was also a transitional time of year; as shown above, the shops were hinting at what's in store for spring and summer wear, while pedestrians still needed their winter coats.

 The ladies in red, gray and navy I spotted on the streets of Vienna. By keeping their color palette limited, both the casual looks and the dressy looks work well.
Red on red works

Navy works too!

Gray check is stylish











Seen in Salzburg


The lady in Salzburg is showing a wonderful sense of color, pairing her rust-orange coat with a blue scarf, flecked with orange. It shows you can put two colors together with black and create a great look.




Japanese girls with a style all their own!
The Japanese girls, visiting or studying in Vienna, were spotted at the Hotel Sacher. All show the wonderful style unique to Japan, with their ankle socks and other accessories.






The last photo is of a lady at the airport, very simply dressed for travel. All in gray, with a contrasting scarf; she looked very chic!
