Spring Style Must-Haves 2017.
Shoes:
I cannot even with Spring shoe trends this year. Loafers are back and better than ever. I've linked a few pairs below that are at the top of my "To Buy" list, especially the nude pink pairs! Flatforms are continuing to reign the sandal-wearing world. They're so versatile and I love that they're not an explicitly formal shoe. They pair just as well with skinny jeans as they do a dress.
The POMPOM sneakers!! I just had to include these in this round-up because they are precious + comfy. How often can you say that about a pair of sneakers?
Florals:
Flower power is back and better than ever. There’s no easier way to sweeten up your wardrobe than to invest in a flower-patterned blouse, especially one that features this season’s favorite shade: yellow. Pair it with high-waisted jeans for a casual day at the park with friends, or colored dress pants for a meeting at the office. I've linked a bunch below from a few of my favorite retailers (Gap, Asos, Loft, Modcloth, etc.) and guess what?? All of them (except one) are under fifty dollars!! Weeee!
Ruffles:
There's no sweeter trend this spring than ruffles. They're all over this season's most stylish shirts, and they instantly spice up any outfit. You can dress this trend down by paring a peplum blouse (yes, it’s a ruffle!) with cutoff capris and your favorite sandals, but my favorite version features layered arm ruffles that end right about wrist-length or any kind of chest ruffle. They're just so dainty and cute! I love all of the ones linked below, but my personal favorite is definitely the powder blue Nordstrom ruffle blouse.
Stripes:
Hurray for cute stripes! They never go out of style, to be honest, which is why I absolutely had to include them in this round-up. From rompers to nautical-style sweaters, stripes are a French classic that mesh well with everyones style. I'm especially loving linen stripes right now, because they're light-weight, which makes them perfect for summer and hot weather.
Yellow:
Yellow is dominating the 2017 spring lines, because it's so vibrant and bright. What better color to symbolize a season of growth?? Every shade of yellow has a thumbs-up rating this spring, but the favorite shade by far is mustard yellow. Who would've thought! Mustard yellow is great, because it has such a distinct, almost vintage feel that meshes so well with all of the other up-and-coming styles this spring. Yellow is a perfect pop of color to add to an outfit in the form of shoes, pants, or even a classic yellow rain jacket (which I definitely included below. Spring = rain, people!)
Nude Pink:
Nude pink is soft, sweet, and sooooo classy. I'm so happy it's the pastel queen of spring fashion this year! It's easy to substitute in where you would normally wear white or tan, because they belong to the same color family. I've linked some dresses, pants, and (of course) shoes below that come in this pretty shade of pink :)
Shirt Dresses:
I honestly can't remember a time when shirt dresses weren't in style, and with all of the new styles and versions they appear in, I had to include them in this must-have round-up.
Woo! I'm so happy that spring fashion is here! What other trends are you looking forward to this season? I'd love to hear about them below!
