I’m dreaming of the days when I will welcome a breeze. If you’re in a cold-weather climate, I’m guessing we’re in this together. I mean, can you imagine the sun warming your skin? After being bundled up for months, it’s a stretch for me, but I can. And as you peruse these spring trends that you’ll actually want to wear, you’ll be right there with me. Let’s step out into the sun, shall we? 

Often, when scoping out trends, you’ll see a lot of runway looks — nothing you’d wear in real life. Not so here. We’ve included looks for real life and every budget – from vintage Chanel that the next generation will love, to a sweet $30 top that you’ll love today.

6 TRENDS FOR SPRING THAT YOU’LL ACTUALLY WANT TO WEAR

ROMANTIC LOOKS

The first spring trend — ooh la la romance. While nothing says spring like flowers, this romantic trend goes beyond that. Look for touches of ruffles, puffed sleeves, movement, and hints of vintage glamour. 

PLATFORMS

Up next in the trend round-up — platforms. Ready to stand tall after a long winter of huddling by a fire? Platforms will lift your spirits and put pep into every confident step.

DENIM

The next spring trend that you’ll actually want to wear is denim. Move over skinny jeans and make way for the new girl in town. Her name is variety. 

If you are a subscriber, you may have seen our take on this classic, yesterday in the Honey Good Post. Style them with a statement belt and treat them to a night on the town. Or keep it casual for a coffee run. That is to say, the possibilities are literally endless.

FRINGE

And next up? Fringe. The number one fringe benefit of these accessories? Eye-catching movement. They’re just plain fun. This is one spring trend that you can wear with anything. 

PASTEL KNITS

Kick the spring vibes into high gear with lovely, pastel knits. Whether you go for chunky oversized, to simple formfitting, you will glow with the warmth of spring. 

#6 SPRING TREND THAT YOU’LL ACTUALLY WANT TO WEAR — THE TRENCH COAT

Last but not least, we have the trench coat. There’s nothing mysterious about why the trench coat comes back again and again. The clean lines and the cinched waist make it just the thing when you want to step out with a bit of drama. Above all, it looks good with just about anything. 

To conclude, it’s time to refresh our lives. Why not begin by refreshing your closet?
