It’s time to put away the snuggly wool sweaters, down jackets, and cozy socks. Spring is here and you want to look cute, stylish, and fun for the fresh sunny days! Brand-new spring fashions are arriving at the stores, so it’s time to give your closet a makeover and dress in the new colors and styles.
1. Floral Skirt
If you want just one key spring item this year, then a floral skirt is it. Pick a vibrant print or soft pastels. Wonderful skirt fabrics include cotton and jersey. Try a tea-length below the knees, one that hits at the knee, or even shorter. Spring is here, so it’s time to wear pretty skirts again.
2. Spring Tops
It’s so much fun to go shopping for light, breezy, and flirty spring tops. From peasant blouses to brightly colored button-ups, spring tops are the easiest way to bring a jolt of freshness to your closet. The most versatile tops can be mixed and matched with jeans, capris, skirts, and jackets to create a myriad of fun outfirts. Make spring blouses and shirts part of your new wardrobe.
3. Light and Pretty Dress
Short, knee-length, and maxi long dresses are now appearing in the stores in a variety of cute and fun fabrics and styles for you to try. No spring wardrobe is complete without a new light and pretty dress to wear. Mix and match sleeve styles like cap sleeves, halter tops, and kimono sleeves. Casual enough for everyday and nice enough for an evening out, dresses are definitely a spring must-have.
4. Capris
Also known as clam-diggers and cropped pants, capris have become an iconic element of spring fashion. Capris come in as many colors, patterns, fabrics and styles as jeans. They are the perfect length for sunny days that are still cool in the evenings. Pick up a new pair of capris for a fashion staple.
5. Skinny Jeans
What spring fashion lover doesn’t need a new pair of jeans? Skinny jeans are the newest trend to join the ever-popular denim pants that almost nobody can live without. Skinny jeans taper down the leg towards the ankle and some styles are as close-fitting as leggings. They are featured in many colors, including black, white, dark denim, light denim, and even bright colors. Skinny jeans can be worn with all of your other spring fashions.
6. Spring Jacket
The hot days of summer are still several months away, so for cooler mornings and evenings a light jacket is essential. April’s showers are a great reason to pick up a cute little raincoat in a bright color. Other spring jacket styles include blazers in breezy fabrics like cotton and seersucker, anoraks, and denim jackets.
7. Bright Umbrella
Chase spring’s rainy day blues away with a bright and cheerful umbrella. The small fold-up styles fit easily into a tote bag and are portable enough to take anywhere. Lots of colorful prints and styles are found in stores this time of year, so don’t forget to pick one up as part of your spring wardrobe shopping.
8. Ballet Flats
The casual slip-on and slip-off style of ballet flats have made them a popular ongoing fashion trend. It may still be too cold to treat yourself to summer sandals, so ballet flats are a better option this time of year. You can wear them without socks, and they’re versatile enough to pair with everything from skirts and dresses to capris and skinny jeans.
9. Spring Bag
Pack away the heavy wool and wintery bags in favor of a new colorful spring bag. A little clutch you can take out on a warm weather date is a fun and flirty accessory. Shoulder bags in florals, polka dots, stripes, and other prints are a bright accent for pretty new clothes. Try colored leather in sunny yellow, turquoise, blue or pink for a trendy style.
10. Cute Hat
Hats provide both sun protection and spring fashion style. It’s fun to try them on and find the best look for you. Bucket hats, cloches, baseball caps, newsboy caps, and wide-brimmed straw hats add panache to your spring wardrobe. Some hat styles can easily segue into summer weather, so you’ll be able to wear it throughout the warm weather seasons.
These ten spring fashion must-haves are trendy and fun, yet also versatile and create many different looks. You’ll look great and be ready for anything you have planned as the weather warms up.
