Spring is almost here, and when everything blooms and blossoms, so should your wardrobe. We are craving longer, sunny days, lighter colors and fun styles.
To help you look your best this spring, I’ve put together some of my top fashion essentials to kick off the season!
1. Tie Dye
Tie dye started to emerge as a fashion influencer in 2018, but the look has now taken over the catwalk. This year, Tie Dye is in. However, it’s not just any tie die that is making the catwalk ladies and gentlemen. Tie dye is getting a modern update this spring. Kaleidoscope tie dye dresses, layering tie dye over florals, and fluoro approaches are what’s hot.
2. Straw Hats
This spring, we are rocking the straw hats. Not only are they a great way to keep cool in the sun, but they can go with almost any style. Whether you are wearing a floral printed dress or a white top with some jeans, these Tenth Street Hats can be found on celebrities like Jacquemus, social influencers, and all over the streets. So, if you don’t have a straw hat, you better get one to kick off the season right.
3. Warm Rustic Colors
This spring isn’t all about the pastel pinks, blues, and yellows. Instead, we are bringing back the rusty reds and burnt orange colors. These orange and wine colors work seamlessly together for a truly chic look. Of course, you don’t want to forget about mustard yellow either. Dive into the color trend with some trendy burnt orange crop pants.
4. Leotards
Leotards are coming back with a hot new look. Because they have long been linked with ballet dancers, it was a key inspiration for fashion designers everywhere. A Mia Blush Short Sleeve Bodysuit can be paired with wide-leg trousers for fuss-free streamlined silhouette. Or for a fancier look, pair it with a skirt.
5. Bows
One of this spring’s most feminine trends is apparel with bows. Bows are losing their prissy connotations and becoming a backbone for the feminist movement. Dresses with deep reds and bows and mustard yellow and bows are all the rage. This Lisa Marie Fernandez maxi dress is one you will want to get.
6. Hand-Woven Bags
I have a thing for hand-woven bags – be it made of rattan, wicker or bamboo. They look so cool and they can be worn in the summers too! They’ll look cute with any flow-y dress or jeans and a white shirt. Personal picks: I love this Beauty Yaya crossbody bag with bow clasp and this Rattan Nation handwoven round rattan crossbody bag.
7. Ruffles
The ruffle skirts from boutique retailers like Lily Lulu Fashion dominated last summer and will continue to through spring. Look for languid, smooth shapes, cascades of frills, feathers, and childlike associations. The more frill and ruffles, the better. Even pants like these petite ruffle sweatpants are becoming the fashion statement of the year.
8. Puff Sleeves
Did you know that one of the top fashion searches in 2018 was 80s fashion. According to Google, this makes sense since the spring runways shifted from the 90s to the decade before embracing the puff sleeves with cinched waists. Along with puff sleeves is blazer jackets, so why not combine it with a Maggie Marilyn Puff Sleeve Blazer Dress!

Those looks very comfy. It is not summer yet but the weather is somehow getting hot.
It’s so great to see what trends are coming into style. I don’t think I could ever work a straw hat into my wardrobe, but some of the others are really helpful.
I really like that kaleidoscope dress! It’s something that I would definitely wear. This is a great roundup!
I am loving the come back of the mustard and rustic colours, I love those trousers, might have to get myself some!
I feel like I’ve totally needed this post coming into Spring! You can never have enough wardrobe inspiration in your life! 😉

Bright colors that are good in my eyes. I love spring fashion!
Woven handbags are so cool.. Definitely this Spring. It really matches any outfit at this time of the year.
What a useful share.
Straw hats and hand woven bags will sum up my spring from this list.
Tie die is always a lot of fun. But I think if it were with my daughter she would love the puffy sleeves the most.
I always get really into fashion this year so I love reading this post. I am definitely interested in the hand-woven bags and tie-dye
Your list is on point. These are all the essentials for summer. Thanks for sharing.
Woven handbags are always a must especially that I am living here in the tropics. Ooppss I need to buy new designs!
Yes! I love Spring and all the fashion styles that are available. I’m definitely loving puffed sleeves, ruffles, and rustic colors this year. Something new I’ve been wanting to try are leotards. They look very stylish, but also allow some room for casual.
A lot of people is so excited for this season. I prefer hand woven bags and even hats. They look good this Spring.
I am loving all these fashion options ! I can’t wait for better weather to start wearing more dresses !
These are really very important requirements. And I really like all your suggestions.
I love a new season and new season fashions I am loving the blue and white dress and the bag x
Oh yes! the spring is already approached and I want comfy clothes and I liked Puff Sleeves idea.
I love it! It’s almost time for me to bring out my spring and summer dresses…eeep!!! Just waiting for the last of the snow to melt.
I’ve seen a lot of fashion bloggers and influencers with woven bags! But for me itll be a diaper bag for a while longer.
If you asked me a year ago I would’ve told you that I wouldn’t be caught dead in ruffles, but the simplistic way they are done these days is quite pretty.
I really love hand woven bags. I think they are the cutest. I am really like this list and i’m also like the fact that I love almost all these trends. I am so excited for Spring.
I love all of these. Will help when I online shop tonight for some new pieces!
I love warm orange/brown colors, so I am most excited for that! I think I’m least excited for straw hats but the fact that I already own one should tell you something haha
Oh yeah, warm colors and ruffles all the way!! Except I live in arizona so not excited for heat
I actually made a tie dye table cloth when I was in school but never progressed to actually wearing any tie dyed clothing. The modern update looks really fabulous!
I would really love to buy new straw hats and hand woven bags. They really look great for Spring.
Tie Dye is amazing! I want to wear tie dyed dresses now!
I can’t wait to show off my spring fashion. And with these ideas, it would be prettier for sure 😉 Thanks for sharing.
Oh wow, those were really a beautiful fashion for this spring. The tie dye could be a perfect idea. I love wearing colorful clothes.
I can’t imagine that I could get away with wearing a puff sleeve but it sounds
like a perfect spring fashion! I’m always afraid of trying new style.
I’m having so much truble adopting the trends that I abused as a kid/young teenager – like tie-dye… might skip that one 😉
Definitely like hand-woven bags and bows 🙂
I absolutely love warm colors and leotards. They are definitely a must have for me this Spring for sure!
My preference when it comes to fashion is to ensure that it is comfortable, first and foremost. Having said that though, these trends are all looking pretty good as well as comfy. Nice selection.
I love the handwooden bag, I just love spring.
I think you hit the core with the rustic colors. It gives the coming season the vibe really.
I love handwoven bags. I have a few already but would want to have two or three more. They are so versatile and can be worn casually or with a semi-formal attire.
Love this, it’s inspiring, the warm colors are always welcomed in fashion. Thank you for suggestions and sharing!
My favorites are the burnt orange crop pants, hand-woven bags, and the straw hats.
