Spring fashion trends are rolling out in stores everywhere.
This season, playful and edgy pieces are what will be in.
Black and white style are great for spring.
They can be used in a ‘70s mod style or color block (pair with an additional color).
Military chic is another trend in stores.
Military jackets and moto jackets are items that can be paired with skinny jeans, or a sundress to soften up the look.
Maria Arnold is a junior social work major from Monroe and sales associate at a local boutique, K Sera.
Her favorite spring trends are colored skinny jeans, especially coral.
“Floral and printed chiffon tops are in right now and they are great with colored skinny jeans. And pair it with layering a lot of bracelets,” Arnold said.
Pastels and spring are always synonymous.
This season’s twist is electric pastels, lighter shades of bolder neon colors.
High waist denim shorts and sleeveless tees are coming back strong and can be found in many washes and designs at Forever 21 (located in Pecanland Mall).
Huyen Nguyen, a senior radiologic technology major agrees that pastels are a huge spring trend. She also has spotted some trends herself.
“I’ve seen black and white, stripes and colors like mint, purple and pink,” Nguyen said.
Those shades also work well as nail polish colors for this season.
Coral, mint or lilac are good, too. This season, nail polish is either light or pale. Pastels work best.
Makeup for this spring is fun and playful; like vivid eyeliners in blues, purples and greens.
Orange eye shadow and other bold colors like ones seen in Maybelline Color Tattoo cream eye shadows are trending now.
Gladiator sandals are another item making a comeback.
This sandal is very versatile; it can be fastened around the ankle or some wrap up to the knee.
Simple tennis shoes like Keds are another great shoe for spring. A cheaper version of this iconic shoe can be found at Target for $13, and looks great with sun dresses.
Top knots, braids or side bangs are all in style for spring.
These ‘do’s are great for road trips, hitting the beach or sitting by the pool.
Women wanting blonder sun-kissed hair will want to stay away from spray in products like Sun-In. It may turn hair orange, and either has to be dyed back or grown out.
Homemade remedies to get golden locks are simple and affordable.
Apply lemon juice to your hair before going outside.
However, brunette hair will turn caramel.
The last spring item is the most important.
Sun protector factor (SPF) sunscreen is important for overall skin health.
It completes any outfit and protects skin from early aging.
Many winter trends have rolled over to this season, which saves a lot of cash that can be used towards spring break.
Add new sandals and accessories like collar necklaces to update an outfit for spring.
