Spring everywhere else seems to be different from spring in Canada. Here, we’re still getting snow, and it’s still too cold for any (normal) people to leave the house without a coat. However, it doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun with our wardrobe just the same. Here are a few spring trends of this year that you most likely already have in your closet.
Head-to-toe Denim
And when I say head-to-toe, I mean head-to-toe. I’m talking about the shirt, the purse, the bottoms and the shoes. If you have denim, now is the time to get the most out of it. If you don’t have the accessories, a nice pair of relaxed/oversized denim jeans in a mid-to-light wash will do. This trend, while a staple, always comes in different shapes and shades every season, so pick the ones you love and wear them out.
Pops of Red
Now, this is one of my top 3 favourite colours. I love a bright pop of red in an outfit. To incorporate it easily and affordably, you could simply do as I did and paint your nails red. If you’re looking for more pops, H&M has a vast selection of basic red tops, or you could do a red lip, red sandal or even a red scarf. This trend, hopefully, will last into the summer.
Sheer Shirts
This trend, while cute, can be very risque. For the most part, I only style this one on the beach because it feels a little exposing. But a sheer flowy, long-sleeve over a tank top is a cute, modest way to include this in everyday wear.
Fancy Florals
“Florals. For spring. Groundbreaking.” Every person remotely into fashion knows that The Devil Wears Parad ruined florals in spring. LOL. Miranda wrecked my self-confidence, but I’m happy this sweet pattern is back in style. Large motifs and roses seem the way to go this season. I’m not a big fan of florals, but if your style is more classic and feminine, this trend is sure to suit you.
Maxi Denim
This trend is the oddest of all to me. Maxi denim skirts are in! Especially in mid-to-dark tones. While I don’t own a denim maxi skirt, I have no doubt I could find one in the thrift store, and that’s the only way I’m purchasing one. I think styling it with a plain white t-shirt, a body suit, or anything fitted on top is the way to go. You have to balance the fullness on the bottom with form-fitting on top. Also, I would suggest wearing it with open-toed shoes, especially if you’re short like me. That would make it look less overwhelming on your frame and gives it a more casual feel. For a more elevated look, just wear heeled sandals instead.
