It’s almost time for warmer weather, beautiful blooms, and later sunsets. The last of the snow is quickly melting, and spring is just around the corner. You can finally swap your heavy coat for an oversized blazer or your snow boots for some comfy ballet flats. With a new season come all the new trends you’ll want in your closet.
This spring, fashion is heading in a new direction toward items that are light and comfortable, as well as bold and feminine. Regardless, all the trends we’ve rounded up are bound to make your spring super fun. We’ve got you covered head-to-toe with shoes, clothes, and accessory options. Continue reading for six trends you’ll want to grab in time for the start of spring.
Ballet Flats and Ribbons
If you thought balletcore had run its course, it’s only just getting started. The timeless ballet flat is getting an update this spring, taking over your spring shoe rotation. We’ll be seeing them with ribbons that resemble ballet dancers’ very own pointe shoes. Others will have dainty bows and straps, with satin material and pastel shades all around. You’ll get a flashback to your childhood days in ballet class or get the urge to sign up for a class and try something new.
See-Through Textures
While spring brings warmer weather, it also brings those days where it’s cold all morning but you’re sweating by the middle of the day. Your solution to that? Sheer layers. With a mesh or lace long-sleeve blouse, you’ll be prepared for both weather options. Plus, it doesn’t have to just be a sheer top—this spring, we’ll see this trend take over stores, from bottoms to shoes. You can style a lace midi skirt for date night or pair a mesh long sleeve with some lace heels for after-work drinks. It definitely adds a sexy and mysterious vibe to any look.
Long Skirts
The mini skirts of last spring are getting replaced with long maxi skirts this year. This Phoebe Buffay-approved trend is quickly making its way to stores with fun florals and geometric patterns. You’ll want to wear floor-length, low-rise maxi skirts all spring and into summer. They’re perfect for elevating an otherwise boring outfit, and you’ll look like you put in much more effort. You can dress them down with a baby tee for an early 2000s vibe, or go for a 90s vibe with a button-up shirt layered over a crop top, or even a blazer for a classy touch.
Garden Dresses
If spring makes you dream of running in a flower field while wearing a cute dress, this trend is for you. The girlier the dress, the better. Think fun florals, flowing long skirts, puffy sleeves, and pastels. This might be the spring of tea parties, and these dresses look like you were frolicking in the flower field, but you could totally just wear them to run some errands or grab coffee with a friend. Pair them with some Mary Janes or ballet flats for a fun look, or go with sneakers for a comfier option.
Little White Dresses
As we saw during Fashion Week, white is going to be a big trend this season. Whether long or short, a white dress makes you look classy and carefree. A little white dress is the perfect item to throw on as the weather warms up to keep you light and fresh no matter how high the temperature goes. Take on the warm weather with an adorable white dress, like these two options. Spice things up with puffy sleeves and floral embroidery, or portray Euro vacation vibes with a classy and flirty A-line dress.
Micro Shorts
You’ve seen it everywhere online, and it’s the boldest trend yet. It’’s likely not something already in your closet, and you might need a boost to fully rock this trend out of the house. You can ease your way into it by wearing your micro shorts with tights underneath, some knee-high boots, and oversized blazers or button-up shirts. Regardless of how bold you decide to be with your look, you’ll feel bold just trying it out.
