Spring is in full bloom. The weather is warming up and lighter colors are coming back. This year’s trends are sure to complete your style.   
Lace can help add a feminine touch
to any spring ensemble.
Put away the dark sweaters and bring out the springtime colors. This year, mint, coral, pale pink, and nude are the most common hue selections. Mint and coral is a popular color combination, while adding nude accessories can tone the look down. Although not everyone likes to wear neon, bright shoes and other accessories can add a pop of color to any outfit. These options are in most stores, so they won’t be hard to find.

Pastel and metallic nail polish are
popular this season.
There are many fabrics and prints to choose from this spring. Lace is an essential fabric for springtime if you want a graceful appearance. This fabric nicely compliments a denim jacket or oxford shoes. To add some texture and movement to your look this spring floral and chevron are some stylish prints to incorporate into your wardrobe. For a more feminine look, floral is the print for you. This print can be paired with neutral clothes and accessories to make floral the focus of the outfit. Chevron print has become very popular because it adds more movement to clothing. Blouses, maxi dresses, and skirts commonly come in this geometric pattern.

Nail polish can play a major role in an overall look. Metallic colors are especially popular to add some “glam” without all the accessories. For a more springtime look, pastel polish promotes a more muted quality to your appearance.

You can find these trendy looks in many stores such as Kohls, Plato’s Closet, and Forever 21.
