Spring Style Essentials

Spring is finally here. Time to take off the heavy  jackets and really show off your style.

Now there are classics that everyone turns to when it warms up -- khakis, stripes and floral. But if you want to be more than a basic bae, then here are some popular trends to amp your Spring style.


NEON


It's a bit strange to talk about wearing neon in Spring. Usually neon comes out in the Summer when you're headed to pool parties and summer concerts. 

The trick to this spring's trend is neon pastel like this $15 belt set. So skip over the neon oranges, greens and hot pinks. Instead look for clothes and accessories in highlighter yellow --like this cropped pullover-- neon baby blues and bubble gum pinks like this cropped puffer jacket. 




PASTEL

Speaking of Pastel, this trend is back in a big way. Before soft pinks, and lilacs ---like the fuzzy body suit in middle-- were consider too "sweet"  to be worn without something to break up the cuteness -- like a leather jacket or black jeans.                                                                                         But then on this year's red carpet, the stars and starlettes strutted in front of the cameras wearing romantic looks in pale pink and baby blues -- like this J.Crew jumpsuit. Still need some edge?  This sunflower yellow jacket from Dolls Kill has frayed edges.



WHITE


It's a pretty classy move to wear white in the spring. My favorite Spring staple is a white shoe like these Fila dad sneakers. To really take your style up a notch, wear head to toe white like this jumper from Walmart.  


 SNAKE PRINT

Here's another unusual trend. Most people reach for animal print in the Fall. But this season white black and tan snake prints -- like that dress on the left -- is the new spring time neutral. Also trendy, neon colored snake prints.



ROMPERS

I'm really feeling the look of a black romper this season. It's chic and can be dressed up or down for any occasion. Pair with a denim jacket to go to the farmer's market. Or dress it up with strappy heels and some bold jewelry  for girl's night.


FANNY PACK


Spring is a fun, care free time.  That explains the rebirth of the fanny pack. But we're not talking about the nylon bag that makes you look like you've got a gut. We're talking about one that's a fusion between a fanny pack and a crossbody purse. To the left is an affordable version that comes in several different colors. If you don't mind paying for a nice purse, the circle waist bag on the left is $140 on cuyana.com.
