Spring is in the air! Flowers are blooming, birds are chirping, and although the social climate is unfortunate, I can’t help but a little lighter with all the extra sunshine. ☀️

While we’re all stuck indoors, I took it upon myself to create 10 outfits that reflected some of the most popular trends for the upcoming season from garments that I already owned.

Without further ado, here they are!

Outfit 1: Bra Trend

The runways have shown that bras and crop tops are huge for this upcoming season. While it can sometimes be intimidating to wear undergarments on the outside, I think choosing a longer piece, like a teddy, makes this trend more accessible. I also paired it with oversized, tough, denim pieces so that it would balance out all the feminine lace.

Outfit 2: MINT Trend

One color that I’m really excited to see more of is mint! It’s just the perfect pop of spring/summer brightness and I love pairing it with cool-toned neutrals.

lack skirt, topshop 2016
Black platform boots, Aldo 2016

Outfit 3: bLACK & WHITE / CROPPED WHITE SHIRT Trends

You can’t go wrong with these two classic trends! On the runways, we saw lots of black and white pairings as well as a refreshed version of the basic white button-down. I decided to pair these two trends for a monochromatic power look!

Outfit 4: Neon & Lilac Trends

Neon and highlighter colors are still going strong! While this top isn’t quite as fluorescent as some shades get, it was the best that I could do with my existing closet. I paired it with this floral lilac skirt for a reversed-tulip look.

Outfit 5: Polka Dot Trend

This simple print is coming back with a fury! Print mixing is still hugely popular and this is the perfect opportunity to mix all your polka-dot prints.

Outfit 6: 60s Wallpaper

Huge orange/yellow/gold prints are back in style and while I personally still have mixed feelings about this, I figured why not give it a try. I paired this dramatic shirt with navy slacks and a wide-brimmed hat for something a little reminiscent of western styles.

Outfit 7: Bermuda Shorts Trend

Shhh these “shorts” are just trousers rolled up. 🤫 I’m still on the fence about cutting them and altering them for good. What do you think?

Outfit 8: Tropical prints Trend

It’s not spring/summer without the bright and bold prints! I’m styling my yellow wrap dress with this emerald slit skirt for a vibrant start to spring.

Outfit 9: Short shorts Trend

Boy am I glad that I held on to these shorts! 😂 Honestly though, the best way to balance out short shorts is with something boxy and oversized on top.

Outfit 10: Short shorts Trend

Okay, so I really like this trend. Sue me. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Again, the key to balancing out all the exposed leg is to keep things conservative up top! I’m layering these flowy shorts over a fitted long-sleeved dress in a monochromatic look for a sleek take on this trend.
