 | | | It's time to ditch the heavy coats, the wool sweaters, and the thick scarves in favor for bright colors, floaty ruffles, and body-hugging fashions. Here's your guide to jump-start your wardrobe into spring and the latest trends.
Ruffles are big. And the bigger, the better. Pair a simple black pencil skirt with a vibrantly colored blouse and a chic blazer or cardigan to wear the trend for work. Have a date or plans with the girls? Ditch the blazer, add some lipstick, and transition the outfit into a great evening look.
It's time to get up from your couch and get to the gym, because the biggest trend in dresses is tight, body-hugging fashions. Bandage dresses are HOT. Invest in some good shape wear and serious gym time before donning this trend. Other hot dress trends are the one-shoulder looks and the re-emergence of the Little White Dress.
No matter if it's a dress or a tank and shorts, the must-have accessory to accompany any outfit is a military jacket. Pick a great cut in an olive green or khaki. This is one trend that comes back every few years, so don't feel bad about splurging on this item. Another recurring trend that's hot this spring in sequins; pairing a scarf with sequin detail with a simple pair of jeans and t-shirt (and yourmilitary jacket) makes a fantastic spring outfit, and removes the need for additional accessories.
Nothing says spring better than a great print. While the obvious floral prints are hot this season, branch out and seek out ethnic and abstract prints in vivid colors. Boost up the traditional floral by seeking out the styles with butterflies, or pairing butterfly jewelry with your spring looks.
Pants are taking on a more relaxed look, with the boyfriend jean raising in popularity. Pair a capri boyfriend jean with a simple white tank, a sequined scarf, and sky-high heels. Fear not ladies, your skinny jeans are still in this season. Rock your skinnies with a jewel-toned shirt, your military jacket, and big sunglasses for an effortlessly chic brunch look.
Let's talk color. Magenta is HOT this season and compliments every skin tone. Yellow is a bit trickier, but stick to pale yellow if your skin is on the lighter side and rich mustard and gold tones if your skin is more olive or tan. A great black and white print is also a key investment; pair a floral black and white dress with a brightly colored shoe or a great statement necklace. Other great accessories include wooden tribal accessories (that are great for day looks), obi belts (to add color to more simple outfits), and lots of bangles (anytime, anywhere). Time to update your bag? Opt for an oversized style in a bright color or a bold pattern.
So ditch that wool coat, lose the sweaters, and kick off the boots. It's time to break out the brightly colored shirts, the big accessories, and ward off the spring chill with a chic military jacket.
