Spring fashion trends
Graphic by Claire Revier
Though the flowers have not yet started to bloom, it is finally time to put together your spring wardrobe. Since the fashion industry is ever-changing, it is important to incorporate staple pieces when the seasons change to keep consistency and ease within your style.
Incorporating warm, light colors in your clothing choices for spring is a great way to will the cold away. Doing so will also create a sense of openness and positivity for the new season ahead.
As Minnesotans begin to thaw from the winter, you will see the puffer coats being stored away and lighter jackets being dusted off. With this switch, prepare for the return of bomber jackets as they are an easy add over any outfit.
Simple tops are a tried-and-true staple piece for spring due to their versatility. A good, white t-shirt or tank top can be a good base for spring fashion. Pairing this with a bag or belt with a pop of color, is the easiest way to spice up your collection.
As Miranda Priestly from the Devil Wears Prada said, florals in spring are just not groundbreaking. So instead, wearing polka dots or other patterns can make you really stand out during spring.
For bottoms, denim jeans, skirts and shorts are the perfect way to anchor any outfit. Light denim is also a great way to lighten up the base of your outfit, creating a more spring-ready style.
With the turn of the warmer weather, dresses can be a new addition to your wardrobe. Wearing a dress with sandals is a great way to make an easy outfit a bit fancier.
Simple dresses are a significant addition to your capsule wardrobe. Wearing a black or white mini dress with cute sneakers can also make your outfit much more casual and comfortable.
White sneakers with a pop of color are a good choice for shoes in the spring. Keeping your shoes simple with a little flair makes it easier to pair with several items of clothing.
As the sun starts to shine a little brighter, sunglasses are a great accessory to add to your outfit. It creates a more chic, put-together look.
As you organize your new season’s style, make sure to incorporate timeless, staple pieces to build a capsule wardrobe so you can kick the fast-fashion and ever-changing trends to the curb. Investing in pieces that can be repurposed for many outfits is a great way to do this.
