Spring Flings: Seasonal Fashion Trends

Spring has sprung—and along with it, some new styles to get behind! Below are some up-and-coming fashion trends to be on the lookout for this year.

Blast from the Past

 

Blast from the Past
Throwbacks are back! “Some of the trends we love are the ‘70s psychedelic prints and marbled prints. We love that the flare leg has truly made a comeback but the best thing about moving into spring are the dresses—and we have so many!”

Be Bold

 

Be Bold
“[Go for] loud and colorful prints, brown tones, blazers, bucket hats, and miniskirts,” recommends Lux n Lav Boutique which carries unisex hats, gifts, as well as a baby line. Hot items to look for this spring are their blazers ($61-$70) along with their checkered sweater vest ($48).

Feminine Flair

 

Feminine Flair
“Feminine and pretty dresses are big this spring ($72-$96). [You can even pair a] lovely kimono ($70-$119) to wear with them,” suggests the folks at Ambiance Boutique. Don’t be afraid to brighten your wardrobe this season. “Colorful denim also seems to be a fun trend. We have several beautiful and fun colors ($100+).”

“Cut-outs will be a huge trend this year. Think keyhole, cut-out sides, and open backs. Other trends include feminine looks, florals, exaggerated sleeves, ruffles, one-shoulder styles, balloon sleeves, and bows. [Expect] pastels and plenty of detail,” says Lucy Wheeler, store manager and assistant buyer for Button Up Boutique. “Fabric [in the form of] pleating, darts, smocking, and ruching; crochet, knits, eyelet lace, gingham, bold prints, sets (pants and sweaters, or tanks and shorts), and lots of cropped styles with high-waisted shorts or pants will be in this year!” She also suggests expanding your color palette. “Some popular colors this season will be canary yellow, sky blue, fuchsia, caramel, soft lilac, Kelly green, and orange tones.”

Sole Mates

If the shoe fits, buy it! “For shoes, [we suggest] both the strappy and the platform—more so the platform as a low wedge,” suggests Tracy Lindenberger, owner of The Clothes Mine. “Bold is better! So, keep an eye out for bold color combinations. Our customers will probably interpret this with one or two bold accents on an otherwise neutral outfit,” she says. “[Lastly], add some ‘Flower Power,’ or floral prints in the form of a cute floral dress, top or handbag.” Tracy suggests their sandals ($49) and earrings ($8) while their corkscrew platform sandals ($72) are a “huge bestseller and are super comfortable!”

Fashion Fur-ward

 

Fashion Fur-ward
Fashion is for everyone—including our furry friends! As we approach warmer weather, turn to mesh harnesses because they’re “super lightweight and breathable,” says PR and event coordinator of Posh Puppy Boutique, Maryssa Sayabath. “Neon is also a must have for humans and dogs.” For some extra fun, Posh Puppy Boutique also sells sunglasses for pets! “Heart sunglasses are a must-have accessory for our customers. They complete all outfits and add that touch of attitude,” says Maryssa. However, the true stars of the show are their tutus ($48-$56). “These are a top seller year-round, especially during the spring and summer months. They come in a variety of colors which makes them perfect to dress up and accessorize depending on the season.”

Mix and Match

Denim, skirts, and sets—we’ll take all of them! “We’re seeing colored denim jackets for spring right now,” says Tegan Lee of Lees’ Boutique. “They can be worn in so many ways. Our favorite look with a [colored jacket is] a basic white tee and denim. Another look that’s trending right now is matching two-piece sets. We have a variety of skirts (short, long, and mid-length), pants, and shorts with matching tops,” says Tegan. “You can wear the top high [like] a crop top, or low as if it’s all one piece. Ultimately, you get the bonus of having two pieces you can pair with other clothes. Matching sets are all the rage!” Lee suggests their ruffle skirt set ($59.99).
