How to Wear Spring Fashion Trends?

Many of the styled looks are mixing and matching a variety of trends, allowing you to create chic, yet casual outfits.

Get Creative with Proportions

One large trend for spring is to mix and match proportions in your outfits. This means choosing an oversized shirt but pairing it with a fitted dress underneath. Or, choose a structured blazer with a crop top underneath. Don’t be afraid to try different styles and fits until you find what works best for your body.

Get Bold With Patterns

Another trend for spring is mixing and matching patterns. This means incorporating several of the trends together, such as floral prints with pastels. Or, try mixing a feminine, floral dress with a pair of combat boots for a soft, yet edgy vibe. For an extra adventure look, try mixing a variety of patterns—stripes, polka dots or tie dye—with each other.

Find Your Hero Pieces

Your ‘hero piece’ is your statement piece that you build an entire outfit around. This might be a structured blouse, oversized shirt or your favorite jeans, but before you incorporate this year’s trends into your wardrobe, find the items that you can wear year round. Once you have these core items into your wardrobe, then layer on your favorite trends for spring!

Find a Few Statement Jewelry Items

Bold jewelry hasn’t gone away just yet. Try a pair of gold hoops or 2-3 necklaces layered on top. If you keep your entire outfit neutral, add a pop of color with a bright earring. However you want to incorporate bold statement jewelry, just remember to keep the focus on those items, so don’t wear them all at once!

Style Cute Outfits With Spring Trends

While many fashion trends are often only seen on models and advertisements, we’re including our favorite looks from these fashion trends with individuals of all shapes, sizes, and ethnicities because we believe that every body is beautiful. You can shop by outfit below.

Vintage Floral Pattern

The spring is no stranger to floral dresses. This year, however, many spring clothes are focusing on vintage floral print, long flowing dresses and elegant details. These floral dresses can be worn all year round, but especially when choosing darker floral print, which can be worn with tights or jackets for winter or fall dresses. Mix and match feminine floral prints with edgier items (such as combat boots) for a juxtaposition of soft and hard.

Abercrombie & Fitch

Floral Mini Skirt Two Piece Set

The print makes us think of vintage china, but this sweet two-piece set has a puff sleeve crop with a A-line mini skirt to complete the look. Perfect to transition into a summer outfit. Or, add a faux leather moto jacket and boots and take this look into the fall.

Lulus

Beige Floral Print Tie-Front Top

Dark Green Floral Print Midi Dress

With high neck and cinched waist, this green floral dress would be the perfect outfit with heels or ankle boots for an afternoon wedding, church or brunch.

Menswear for Women

We don’t just mean any old blazer or suit set. This trend is about mixing and matching long, tailored blazers and pants with oversized pieces. Play with proportions by wearing a longer oversized jacket over a smaller crop top. This trend lends itself well to vintage fashion and thrift store finds to curate an outfit that is effortless tomboy style.

This oversized vintage shirt is classic menswear. Wear it with jeans, tie it for a cropped look, or wear it open over a skirt or shorts for a variety of outfit ideas.

Pleated Slouchy Chino Pants

Workwear, but call it fashion. These relaxed chinos aren’t your dad’s pleated work pants. Style them with a fitted white tee or with an oversized cardigan or coat for a dressy casual, layered look.

Experiment with Colors and Patterns

Okay, we’ll admit — many of you might be thinking, is this is a throwback to the 90’s? While you can certainly pay homage to that decade with bright colors and patterns, you can also mix and match bold patterns with understated colors. Try mixing and matching colors with a variety of patterns, for a fun and bold look for spring.

Who said that activewear couldn’t be part of new trends? This lime green sports bra from Girlfriend Collective is not only made from sustainable materials, (hello recycled water bottles!) but it’s the perfect complement to a sweaty workout.

Military Fashion

Military style is making a big comeback. Think neutral color palettes of khaki, tans, and olive greens with chunky, cargo detailing. While bomber jackets and combat boots may feel masculine, it’s time to make it our own and use these easy pieces to create outfits for women that can be worn all year round. Try wearing a military style jacket with a white lace dress underneath or a pair of oversized cargo pants with a fitted crop top.

Pastel Aesthetic Clothes

The pure mention of pastel clothing immediately conjures up thoughts of Easter, jelly beans, and the springtime of our childhood. However, the pastel trend can be a fun way to add color into your clothing, simply by adding a pop of color. For spring outfits, look for pastel clothes that use mint green, light pinks, lilacs, and sunny yellows. However, the pastel trend can transition into cute summer outfits and year round as well, so don’t limit yourself to spring!

Nico Fleece Shirt Jacket

The shacket is already a popular trend (a shirt + jacket, for those in the know) but this pink is the perfect color for spring.

Romantic, Feminine Details

Perhaps one of our favorite spring trends, look for wardrobe pieces that are full of romantic and feminine details. Many of these items can be staples in a capsule wardrobe, especially when the hero piece is a delicate blouse or flowing skirt. Mix loose, billowy tops with structured denim or ripped jeans or layer and oversized blazer on a white lace maxi dress. Scarves and hair ribbons can be a simple way to give a feminine touch to a more simplistic outfit.

Oversized Proportions

Oversized shirts doesn’t necessarily mean baggy clothes. Instead, this trend is an easy way to play with proportions in your outfits. Wear an oversized mens shirt with a belt, gold hoops, and skinny jeans or faux leather leggings. Or, style a long cardigan with a crop top and structured skirt underneath. The oversized clothing trend is a great way to add this season’s fashion trends into your wardrobe, but never leave your comfy clothes.

Volume Pieces

Adding volume into your wardrobe is another way to experiment with styles, such as puffy sleeves, large collars, or billowy layers. If you’re adding volume pieces into your wardrobe, keep the rest of your outfit simple. Pair a cropped top with a relaxed pair of jeans. Or, mix and match layers to incorporate this volume trend with others, such as a military-inspired piece.

Upgraded Loungewear Sets

2020 and 2021 were the years of loungewear, so it is no surprise that it is continuing into this spring. However, this year, our pajama sets aren’t simply sleepwear. Instead, look ahead for upgraded loungewear sets—pieces of loungewear (think joggers and sweaters) that you can take from the house to happy hour. Pair these loungewear sets with military jackets, sneakers, denim jackets, or even with a blazer as an overcoat to your sweatshirt set. We love any excuse to stay comfortable while in a cute outfit!
