As the days grow longer and warmer, it’s time to bid farewell to winter attire and welcome back our beloved spring wardrobe staples. While some pieces eagerly await their turn in the spotlight, others are relegated to the back of the closet, making room for fresh trends and timeless classics. As I prepare for the seasonal transition, I’ve curated a list of items I’ll be skipping this spring, along with the styles I’m excited to embrace.
Out with the Old: Trends to Skip
- Oversize Blazers
While oversize blazers have been a staple in my wardrobe for years, I’m shifting my focus to fitted jackets this season. The resurgence of this tailored silhouette has captured my attention, offering a sleek and polished alternative to my usual go-to.
- Cargo Pants
Though the cargo-pant trend has its merits, I’m opting for simplicity this spring, starting with classic straight-leg jeans. While I still appreciate cargo pants on others, I find myself gravitating towards my tried-and-true basics for everyday wear.
- Classic Pumps
While classic pumps remain a timeless choice, slingbacks have stolen the spotlight for me this season. Their chic and versatile design has won me over, making them my go-to option for adding a touch of elegance to any outfit.
- Pastel Colors
While pastels are synonymous with spring, I’m drawn to bolder hues this season, particularly red. As someone who typically leans towards neutrals, red adds a vibrant pop of color to my wardrobe, injecting energy and excitement into my looks.
- Mini Bags for Daywear
While mini bags are perfect for evening outings, I’m opting for practicality during the day with spacious totes. This season’s crop of stylish totes offers both functionality and fashion-forward design, making them a must-have accessory for daytime activities.
- Peplum Tops
Though I once anticipated a resurgence of peplum tops, they’ve been overshadowed by the enduring popularity of vests. I look forward to embracing vests as standalone pieces, without the need for layering underneath, for effortless style this spring.
- Mary Jane Shoes
When it comes to flat shoes, the Mary Jane style remains my top choice. Its timeless appeal and versatility make it a wardrobe staple that effortlessly complements a variety of outfits, from casual to dressy.
In with the New: Styles to Embrace
- Cool Belts
Cool belts are a simple yet impactful way to elevate any outfit, adding a touch of personality and flair. This season, I’m embracing statement belts as a versatile accessory to enhance my spring ensembles.
- Pleated Mini Skirts
Among the myriad of trending skirts, the pleated mini has emerged as my favorite, offering a flattering silhouette and playful elegance. I’m excited to incorporate pleated minis into my wardrobe, adding a touch of sophistication to my spring looks.
As I bid adieu to winter staples and welcome the resurgence of spring trends, I’m eager to refresh my wardrobe with a blend of timeless classics and fashion-forward pieces. By skipping certain trends and embracing others, I’m ready to embrace the new season with style and confidence.
