In this guide, we’ll unveil 12 must-try trends that will take you from breezy spring days to chic summer nights. So, dive in, get inspired, and find your perfect spring style!
1. Roses
This year will be all about roses, I know “florals for spring, GROUNDBREAKING”
Forget the cliché florals; we’re talking about roses and how they can be incorporated into your spring outfits. From accessories, to shoes, and printed dresses, and not just in print but also 3D form.
The it flower for fashion over the last couple of years has been the anthurium however as we are moving towards a more minimal and low-key era, the more traditional English rose is tsking over as the fashion flower. so, expect to see a lot more roses during spring 2024.
Style Tip: If you have a pear-shaped body, opt for a rose-printed or 3D top paired with darker bottoms to draw attention upward and balance out your look.
2. Classic Styling
Quiet luxury, classic styling, or elevated basics, whatever you choose to call it, timeless dressing is still very much on trend, and I think always will be. Essentially it is elevated basics, that are minimalist and not covered in logos. So, opt for minimalist designs, and embrace high-quality, tailored pieces this spring.
This is one of the most wearable trends, it encourages us to create a capsule wardrobe of classic pieces that will never look dated. This doesn’t mean your outfit should look boring, you can experiment with colors and statement pieces here and there, but let the essence of quiet luxury guide your style.
Style Tip: If you have an Apple-shaped body, embrace classic styling with a tailored blazer to create a defined waistline. For inverted triangle girls, experiment with classic wide-leg pants to balance broader shoulders.
3. Leopard Print
Leopard print is the print of 2024, I feel like we’ve been seeing this everywhere and it’s only going to get bigger. So be ready to see a lot of leopard in 2024 whether in hats, socks, or bags.
Don’t be scared to bring in more prints into your wardrobe this spring and incorporate it into the quiet luxury trend. Leopard makes any basic outfit look more interesting and just brings flare to an otherwise pretty classic outfit. It gives you a chance to showcase your personality as you can dress it up or down.
We’ll be seeing it mixed a lot with red which is still an absolute it color this year. And, of course, it’s all about faux leopard print—because conscious fashion is always in.
Style Tip: If you are still hesitant about embracing print this spring, start with leopard-print accessories like belts, shoes, or even a stylish scarf. It’s an easy way to add a touch of wild flair to any outfit.
4. Preppy Style
The preppy style gets a modern makeover, we will be seeing the trend in a more toned-down style, so a bit more wearable and not predicted. Think button-down shirts, polo shirts, and pleated skirts.
This trend seamlessly blends sporty and edgy vibes with timeless classic elements. The result? A sophisticated yet approachable look that’s perfect for any occasion.
Style Tip: Mix preppy pieces with unexpected pieces. Pair a classic polo shirt with distressed jeans or a pleated skirt with a graphic tee for a modern twist on the traditional preppy style.
5. White Dresses
White dresses are going to be big this spring and I’m here for it. So, prepare to bring out all the white dresses you have in your wardrobe. What I love about this trend is the fact that there is a shade of white to suit every skin tone. it is a universal color that looks good on everyone.
We will see white dresses in different variations from silky fabrics to crochet dresses. Most white dresses we will be seeing are on the fuller length so expect maxi white dresses ending below the knees to be huge this spring.
Style Tip: remember to stay away from colored or white underwear underneath whites, and instead wear nude colored underwear as they blend in with your skin. Or opt for a nude or white slip if your white dress is slightly more sheer and loose.
6. High waist
We have been waiting for this one! high waist is finally back! and low waist is out! I know some of the gen z will not like this one, and I truly believe everyone should wear whatever makes them happy. however, the runways for spring/summer showed more high-rise trousers and jeans.
Style Tip: high rise can help give a more elongated look to your legs, however if you have a short torso stay away from ultra-high waisted pants and make sure to pair them with fitted tops.
7. Kitten heel
We have been seeing kitten heels a lot in the last few seasons, if you don’t like sacrificing your comfort for style then kitten heels are for you. Versatile and comfy, they effortlessly complement everything from dresses to trousers and jeans.
So, if you’ve been wearing kitten heels in the past couple of years, keep them as they will be even bigger for spring/summer.
Style Tip: If you have wider calves, choose kitten heels with ankle straps to create a flattering silhouette.
8. Bows
The bow obsession is REAL. At this point I don’t think anyone hasn’t hopped on this trend yet. From its roots in Barbie-themed aesthetics to the festive holiday vibes, bows are here to stay well into spring. The beauty of this trend lies in its versatility; whether delicately tied at the neckline, cinching the waist, or gracing the hem of a skirt, bows effortlessly elevate your outfit with a playful and feminine flair.
Style Tip: Incorporate bows subtly with accessories like a hair bow, headband, or even on your shoes. It’s a playful and feminine detail that can make any outfit look better.
9. Sheer/Transparent
See through layering pieces have been around for a while, but we are now seeing more woven pieces, lace dresses and semi see through pieces.
Have some fun with the colors and patterns you wear underneath those pieces, just to give those sheer pieces a different look and feel.
Style Tip: sheer clothing doesn’t have to be revealing, wear an opaque color Cami underneath and wear it with something more tailored to give it more structure.
10. Cinched waist
Probably my favorite trend this season! peplums are back but not the 2012 peplum but rather a more floaty peplum paired with straight pants. Embrace the return of the cinched waist with a modern twist on tops and dresses.
I just think a cinched waist adds a feminine touch to any outfit. it helps emphasize our silhouette and looks flattering on everyone.
Style Tip: If you have a rectangular body shape, or a more Athletic body type, you can accentuate your waist by opting for a peplum top with structured shoulders.
11. Polo shirts
Polos are making a comeback, and the good news is anyone can pull off a polo! It’s all about how you style it. It can be worn in so many ways and it’s so easy to thrift or shop from vintage stores.
Style Tip: if you feel polos are too sporty or you prefer a more feminine look. Balance the sporty vibe of polo shirts with feminine accessories. Add sunglasses, jewelry, and a chic bag to elevate the look.
So, there you have it! With these 12 trends in your arsenal, you’re sure to be turning heads and celebrating the arrival of spring in style. Whether you gravitate towards bold and bright pieces or prefer classic silhouettes with a twist, there’s something for everyone. Spring is a time for renewal and fresh starts, so don’t be afraid to experiment and have fun with your fashion choices. Embrace the energy of the season and let your unique style blossom!
