1. White with neutrals

-This is a twist on the all white trend that often pops up in the spring. If you’re not a fan of wearing lots of white (like yours truly), then you can do this trend by wearing mainly white with a touch of neutral to add some color to your outfit.

2. Big, bright floral prints

-I am interested to try this trend myself. I’m not a fan of floral prints, but these large prints are a lot less frilly and girly and much more bold.

3. Menswear inspired pieces

-This has been a trend for the past few seasons and it is being carried over into Spring. Since it is holding strong, I thought it was time to delve into it. It’s basically taking tailored pieces that look like menswear (slacks, jackets, buttoned down shirts, etc) and incorporating them into your outfits.

4. Shorts

-I know this may seem like a no-brainer but there are many of you who cease to wear shorts after a certain point in your life. Some women do it as they age and others do it if they gain weight. However, there are so many varieties of shorts out there that we all can do this trend and look great.

5. Wedge shoes

-I am a big fan of wedges. They’re an easy way to wear heels without the balance issues that can happen with skinny heels. Plus, they tend to be comfortable and cute.

6. Big bangles

-This is an easy trend because bangles are everywhere. I’ve seen them at different price points and different colors. I always feel a touch more stylish when I accent my outfit with a great pair of bangles.

Stay tuned for tips on how to wear each of these trends!
