This season emphasizes relaxed silhouettes and color-driven styling, making it easy to build outfits that feel intentional and stylish. These are the top trends that will carry you through the season:

  • Light layers and laid-back shapes are perfect for fluctuating spring temperatures. Look for
    breezy button-downs, cotton cardigans, relaxed trousers, and mid-length skirts. These work
    beautifully together, allowing you to keep your look cohesive all day long.
  • Fun color combinations based on butter yellow, powder blue, olive green, and chocolate
    brown are trending. These shades pair naturally with denim and neutrals and are especially
    striking when combined with each other. For a bolder look, add a pop of red or orange.
  • Elevated athleisure is a standout trend: think a crisp collared shirt with a track jacket, or a
    sharp blazer with a comfy oversized tee or relaxed shorts. Thrifting is the ideal way to build
    this look, since stores are full of sporty pieces and wardrobe staples.
  • Bold patterns and textures are also back in full force. Polka dots, animal prints, and textured
    fabrics lead the way. They offer an easy way to add visual interest to any look. The key is
    creative layering with bold silhouettes.
  • A few must-have shoe styles this spring are loafers, Mary Janes, kitten heels, and clean
    sneakers. Choose one polished pair and one casual pair, and you can mix and match
    effortlessly all spring.
  • Silk and satin scarves are everywhere this spring. A very fresh look is to style them as a layer
    on top of baggy pants or a skirt. It’s a great way to add more dimension to your look. They
    also double as tops and wraps.
