#TRENDING


Spring is here once again, and that means a whole new fashion round up straight from the runway. The best part? You don’t need to break your bank to look like those Fashion Week models, so we’ve come up with easy ways to add some of the hottest new looks into your spring wardrobe. 

1. PRINTS.
 This year, a lot of the new looks are incorporating fun and flirty prints to make your outfit pop. From tribal prints, geometric shapes, and even cleverly printed abstracts, prints are taking over the runway.

 


Designers like Dolce & Gabbana, Stella McCartney, Blu Marine and many others all brought prints down the runway for spring.  Luckily, if your wallet isn’t ready to dish out the cash for a seasonal Hermès dress, some of our favorite stores have plenty of more budget-friendly options. Prints look good anytime, anywhere. Try a printed sundress for a casual day off, or pair this Clover Canyon Dress by Desert Home with a cropped navy blazer to rock the trend at the workplace.

 2. BOYFRIEND JEANS.

 Skinny jeans have some competition this year when it comes to an easy-to-wear, comfortable look. Boyfriend jeans are relaxed and loose fitting, but still have their own way of being incredibly stylish. Celebs like Rachel Bilson and Jessica Alba have made this trend one of their closet staples. With the boyfriend jean sneaking in as the new favorite, do not hesitate to try this one out! There are so many great styles out there that it’ll be hard not to find a pair you love. Check out how Fashion Blogger Courtney Kerr styles this look!

 3. MATCHING SEPARATES


 Thanks to the resurrection of crop tops and skater skirts, printed matching separates have been a hot commodity on the runway for designers including Vivienne Tam, Balenciaga, and especially Christian Siriano. This perfect duo adds a fun, flirty way to easily accentuate such a simple concept with bold patterns, geometric abstracts, and pastel florals. Matching separates are perfect for the office, a night out on the town, or an afternoon lunch date with your friends!

3. GLADIATORS


 One of my favorite spring trends this year is the gladiator sandal. Designers have come up with so many ways to vary this look, whether it is the color, height, heel, or buckle. Gladiators look great with just about anything, and because there are so many different styles out there they are definitely a closet staple. Most designers offer their gladiators in several different colors, so don’t be afraid to have fun and mix it up!

Knee-high gladiators look great on long, slim legs and make you look that much slender and taller.

 If you have shorter legs, try not to overwhelm them too much by choosing an ankle-high gladiator with simple straps.

For the fashionista who likes to take risks, try a pair of sky high gladiator heels. Pair these with a mini dress or shorts for a sexy high fashion look.
