Spring / Summer Trends

Even though it's still chilly out, it doesn't mean that you can't get a jump start on your spring trend shopping. After thumbing through runway footage and snapshots, I've narrowed down my top six "go to" trends. Check out the slide show above for visuals and read below for how to incorporate these trends into your preexisting wardrobe.


1. White dress mini dress - crisp, clean and ready for warm weather, the white mini dress is a going to be a staple this season. Spring and summertime bare legs call for the hem to stay just a few inches above the knee.

2. Sherbet - lying somewhere between pastel and bold brights, sherbet is making a scene. Yummy pinks, greens, oranges and blues are perfect for those who feel that pastels "wash" them out and neon is just too bold.

3. Metallic and Nudes - the metallic accents help update and brighten nudes for the warm season.

4. Sheer - this trend can easily go from classy to trashy. To prevent becoming a fashion "don't", pair sheet tops with lacy camisole. I wouldn't recommend this trend for the office unless pairing with a cardigan of blazer.

5. Black - as the dominate factor of my wardrobe, I'm secretly glad to see black making such a strong appearance on the spring runways this year. By keeping the material light , such as cotton and chiffon, you'll be sure to stay cool during the warm months.

6. Outline - appearing as if someone traced along the outer edge of silhouettes, this trends is fun and practical for any body type. Whether a dress, pants or blouse, this trend will help accentuate all the lovey curves you already have.
