Denver Fashionistas are Going Native | Beauty

Tribal fashions are big this spring and there’s no reason to go globe-trotting to find beading and ethnic prints to add to your wardrobe. Many local boutiques have embraced spring’s global-influenced tribal trend for you. Here are four of my favorite ethnic trends that can be found right here in Denver.

• Shoes Go Wild. Natural materials are popping up on footwear everywhere. From flats to sandals there are many choices to choose from. Go wild with this pair of platform wedge sandals in eye-catching colors at Bakers.

• Ethnic Prints. The tribal trend consists of bold graphic prints like Aztec and Ikat in bright colors. A flowy dress is an easy way to try the trend, like this zigzag one from Francesca’s.

• Bead It! Bright beadwork, fringing and crochet all give the hand-crafted from a far-away land vibe. This affordable clutch from the Gap is a great way to add a touch of tribal to your summer ensemble.

• Go for the Gold. If you’re looking for a tame way to pull the tribal trend into your wardrobe, go for the gold. This horizon necklace from Betsy and Iya can do the trick. Available at Unity Boutique.

You don't need a well-stamped passport to give the exotic look a try, only a sense of adventure and these four picks!
