Spring is just around the corner, and you know what that means – it's time to shake off those winter blues and welcome the fresh, vibrant energy of a new season.
With warmer temperatures on the horizon, it's the perfect opportunity to revamp your wardrobe and embrace some of the hottest trends for Spring 2024.
So, what can you expect to see gracing the streets and runways this spring? Let's dive in!
1. Pastel Colors
First up, let's talk colors. Say goodbye to the muted tones of winter and hello to a kaleidoscope of pastel hues that'll breathe new life into your old outfits.
Think shades like soft lavender, icy blue, and delicate peach, alongside bold pops of color like fiery red and rich oxblood.
Whether you're a fan of subtle sophistication or enjoy making a statement, there's a color palette for everyone this season.
Style Tip: Try incorporating your favorite pastel color into a go-to accessory like a bag or a pair of shoes for an extra chic way to add color to any outfit.
2. Sheer Layering
Translucent items such as gauzy skirts and semi-sheer tops and dresses are all over the spring 2024 runways and in stores.
Sheer pieces incorporate a flash of transparency into an outfit and can add a bit of interest and texture.
In fact, sheer pieces are an easy way to add a lightweight layering piece for the warmer season.
Style Tip: Try pairing a gauzy skirt with a button-down or throw your blazer over a sheer top (like the photo above) and you'll achieve an interesting balance that'll make your outfit a hit this spring!
3. Rosettes and Bows
Of course, no spring wardrobe would be complete without floral prints, but this spring everything's coming up roses ... and bows.
Showing up on everything from dresses to tops to skirts and even hair accessories and statement tights! If you want to invest in a trend to update your wardrobe for spring, try an item that has bows, ribbons or roses.
Style Tip: If you're not one to wear bows or roses on your clothing, try a hair accessory, earrings or even shoes adorned with this popular spring trend.
4. Tweed
Tweed is the fabric of this spring season and is seen on everything from dresses, to skirts, to shorts and, of course, blazers.
Tweed screams lady-like and adds interest to any outfit. Not only is tweed interesting for it's pattern and color selection, it's texture also adds umph to any outfit.
Style Tip: Add a tweed piece in a pastel color to your closet this spring and you'll be totally on trend for the season!
5. Metallics
Metallics are popping up everywhere this spring.
Metallics are normally found in evening wear, but this spring's metallics are also about dressed-down versions worn with clever layering. You'll find metallics on everything from dresses to skirts, pants and shorts.
There's no excuse to skip the metallic trend come spring and summer. The best part is that nothing pairs better with a summer tan then a metallic color!
Style Tip: The easiest way to incorporate metallics into your spring looks is by wearing metallic shoes or a metallic handbag!
6. Voluminous Dresses and Skirts
This spring fashion is all about experimenting with volume, length, and shape.
You can expect exaggerated lengths to show up on dresses and even drop-waist skirts. You'll feel like the belle of the ball in your voluminous skirt or dress (and the volume hids any imperfections)!
Style Tip: Pair your voluminous dresses and skirts with a tank top and a denim jacket for a completely unexpected and dressed-down version of this trend.
7. Preppy and Sporty Style
Designers are updating prep-school classics like polo shirts, track jackets, and button-down shirts with a new attitude.
Gone are the days when sportswear was reserved solely for sporting activities. Lately, sportswear staples have slowly been infiltrating our everyday wardrobes, especially for spring 2024.
Hooded sweatshirts, zip-up track-tops, and polo shirts are the perfect pairing piece for your favorite denim.

Style Tip: Try wearing your hooded sweatshirt under your blazer for the perfect mix of casual cool.
8. Fancy Flats
This year, I don't want to sacrifice my comfort for style, so naturally, the best option to turn to is chic flat shoes.
While you'd think that flat shoes tend to be boring or safe, there's a slew of fancy flats out there. The tricky part is picking your favorite.
Who doesn't love a little bling or bows to make you smile? An embellished pair of flats adorned with rhinestones, studs or bows, will have you feeling like every day is a special occasion!
Style Tip: Try a pair of metallic flats this spring to be especially on-trend!
