Spring trends.

Being on vacation this week, I have obviously done a lot of shopping. Spring is just around the corner and there are a lot of great trends I've seen in the stores for spring.

The first, is colored denim. This trend has been big for a few years now, but this spring, it's all about the brights and pastels.

 

This mint is one of my favorites. Mint is a very hot color for spring and in a pant, you can pair it with other pastels, prints, or just a plain white shirt.

Hot pink pants are a major do for spring also. They can be dressed up or down and will go well with a floral shirt or just a plain top.

These yellow pants are great too, and will transition well into the summer. This outfit also brings us to my next big trend:

The chambray shirt. It's essentially a denim shirt, but much softer material and can be paired with a variety of outfits. It can be dressed up, dressed down, and paired with almost any color.

One of my favorite uses of the chambray shirt is paired casually with leggings and boots. You can really play with accessories here and it's great for casual Saturday shopping or just an afternoon in.

Another great use of the chambray is with white pants. This is a great summer night look and looks great with gold and opalescent accents.

 

Finally, here's a great way to dress the shirt up. Paired with a maxi skirt, you can take this look easily from day to night and also be comfortable. 

The next trend I want to highlight that I have already slightly touched upon is pastels. A classic for spring with Easter, these colors will match the blooming flowers around you.

 

Pastels offer many options. You can go bold with pants, or use subtle hints in nail polish or a purse.

Another spring trend that is always in: Prints. Especially florals. Florals are always a spring trend and are nothing new. To quote the Devil Wears Prada, "Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking." It's obviously nothing new, but always in style.

 

I really like this Lauren Conrad floral dress. It is very subtle and in a great design.

Another good print for spring is polka dots. Always classy, and pairs well with everything.

My final spring trend is brights. This is also nothing new for spring, but I am really liking colors like pink and coral.

 

Coral is a really great transitory summer to spring color and it looks good on almost every skin tone.

Hot pink pretty much goes for the same as coral: transitions well, great on all skin tones.

Old and new, these spring trends are bound to bring you to another level of fashion and a plethora of complements if paired well. Enjoy spring shopping!
