With spring comes a fresh new variety of style trends to play with. Thanks to the runway shows throughout the final months of last year, we got a peak at what will soon be in our wardrobe this spring and summer. There are countless trendy looks that are unexpected, yet oh-so-stylish like coloured tartan, lavender hues, bucket hats, puff shoulders, colour from head to toe, neo-gothism and more.
Here are our favourite trends that are getting us hella-inspired to get dressed as the warmer weather rolls in:
Neon
Oh, neon is not going anywhere anytime soon and I couldn’t be happier. Get your sporty vibes and neon ON girl!

Surfer-Inspired
Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, and Chloé (to name a few) all showcased looks so tubular, it’s as though the models arrived fresh off Bondai beach, Australia. Wetsuit-like tops, complete with the zippers and graphic surfer tees were in abundance.

Utilitarian
Proenza Schouler, along with many others designers revealed complete ensembles with a smorgasbord of pockets, cross-body tool belts and cargo pants in neutral, earthy hues.

Netting
Dior, Altuzarra and YSL incorporated netting, cutouts and shredding, which made for a seriously awesome layered look. Georgio Armani also jumped on the trend with an updated, leather version of a net bag in neutral and light blue hues.

Long shorts
Whether it’s bike shorts or Bermuda shorts, you’ll most likely be pairing them with a strong jacket or blazer. It’s the comfiest trend you never knew you needed. Chanel even gave the trend their seal of approval.

Patchwork
For denim, patchwork seems to be the name of the game this season. Come to think of it, patchwork on any fabric will be on trend.

Shielded Sunnies
Skinny lenses will gradually be on the outs and replaced with oversized, futuristic, sci-fi sunglasses. Think “galactic skier” and get ready for the takeover!

Bucket hats
This classic 90’s street style item is back with avengeance, plus there have also been dressier versions on the spring/summer runways. I love this because we can be more sun-safe while still feeling confident and on-trend.
