Let’s be real, during the winter time, fashion and trends tend to take a back seat to comfort and warmth. We’d much rather curl up in some sweats and deck on layers and layers of fuzzy socks than be bothered with appearances. Winter is not the time to showcase our fullest potential when it comes to fashion and looking good.
No, that time is saved for spring.
Every fashionista gets happier when springtime rolls around, because this means we get to pull out all of our best pieces and flaunt them where everyone can see them. No more hiding under bulky winter jackets or scarves.
Spring is the time to immerse yourself in fashion and just have fun. Here are five key items you really can’t go without this season.
1. Kiss Your Skinny Jeans Goodbye

One piece that is being showcased on every major fashion website and every major fashion runway is the flared pant. No matter how much you’ve grown to love your skinny jeans, we bet you’ll love your new flared pair as well. It’s time to get funky with this 70s’ favorite, but be sure to have a modern take on it. Proportions are key when it comes to choosing a top. Editors at Marie Claire recommend a structured tee, a sporty bralet or an elongated tunic.
2. Get Gingham

Start looking up gingham because it’s about to be the statement piece of the season. Whether you snag a skirt, dress, shorts, jacket or pantsuit in this checked pattern, you will be good to go. With gingham, you can do no wrong. Need more convincing? It’s even been given Vogue’s stamp of approval.
3. Don’t Stop the Crop

If you’re claiming to be “so over” the cropped look, you better get back under because it’s not going anywhere. The cropped look is here to stay. That means cropped jackets, cropped tops paired with girly skirts, and cropped pants. If it’s cropped, chances are you’re staying on trend.
Find some stand out cropped pieces but also a few basic neutrals that you can easily throw on for any occasion.
4. Step Up Your Stripes

Something striped must find its way into your closet because it’s going to be all the talk this season. It’s a preppy addition to any wardrobe. Everyone loves the sailor vibe, even if it’s as simple as a navy and white T-shirt you can throw on for an afternoon lunch. You’ll be amazed at how comfortable you’ll feel while looking so on trend. Don’t be afraid to throw a splash of bright colors in there to mix up your wardrobe as well.
5. Rock the Watch

We mustn’t forget to accessorize all spring long, so this season it is all about what’s on your wrist. Find yourself a timeless timepiece that can be paired with any outfit. Once you’ve found the right watch, you’ll want to wear it with absolutely everything. Don’t let your wrist go bare this season!
There are so many trends that will come and go this spring, but these five are the ones you’ll want to follow religiously. And even though these trends may be Fashion Week-worthy, that doesn’t mean you’ll have to break the bank to nail them. Do some hunting to find these trends for bargain prices, and you’ll be just as envied. It only takes having a few vital staples in your closet this season to be dubbed a fashionista for life.
Don’t forget to have fun this season and play up your style to the max, because before you know it, you’ll be snowed in your footy pajamas all over again.
