With the return of long balmy days and fashion that feels like second skin, Spring is a time when the refresh button is pressed, the social calendar fills up; and playful pieces really begin to shine.
Think light, joyful and pops of modern colour, meets ease and elegance through soft, tonal and romantic classics.
The promise of Spring not only brings an exciting and elevated collection of styles to play with, it also allows for a renewal of self-expression and personality through confidently curated outfits.
When navigating a seasonal switch-up and crafting a Spring wardrobe, it’s important to stay true to your personal style, while embracing trends that best suit YOU.
And remember, just because you’re a Mum, it doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice on style!
Here Are 5 Spring Trends to Dip Your Toes in This Season
1. Elevated Thongs
Once boring, now ultra elevated; the classic thong is unquestionably having a moment. The simple and sturdy structure provides comfort and ease, and is a nod to early 2000’s fashion trend worn by the likes of Paris Hilton.
Why You’ll Love It — Comfortably cool and versatile.
How to Wear It — From beach to bar. Cute with swimwear and a sarong, a summer mini dress or matching set.
2. Romantic Trimmings
Romance isn’t dead! Delicate and decorative trimmings will have you romanticising days in the sun with a rose in hand. The super chic, feminine designs led by sheer and lace fabrics are the epitome of a Spring show stopper.
Why You’ll Love It — Intricate textures and soft silhouettes.
How to Wear It — Opt for balance. Pair a feminine lace maxi skirt with an oversized band tee. Or elevate some jeans with a lace cami.
3. Reimagined Colourways
Say goodbye to neutrals as you know them, and say hello to a rich array of muted pastels heroes by butter yellow, powder pink, and mint green. Tasty tones that pack a punch, tangerine, mocha mousse, and paprika red also join the Spring ranks.
Why You’ll Love It — Evokes a whimsical and joyous mood.
How to Wear It — Monochrome or a clash of colours. If wearing colour is new or scary to you, try introducing accessories as a starting point. Feeling confident? Pick one colour, head-to-toe and create impact.
4. Polka Dots
The trend that was first spotted (excuse the pun) on Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman’s unforgettable fashion moment makes its return this Spring. The polka dot renaissance offers a more experimental take on styles and fabrics, opting for bold and diverse ways to wear what was once a classic.
Why You’ll Love It — The perfect sense of nostalgia.
How to Wear It — Mix contemporary with classic. For a more demure approach, try cream and mocha small dotted fabric in a simple top. To kick into contemporary gear, give a polka dot maxi dress with brighter accessories a go.
5. Woven Magic
Bringing with it decades of style heritage and a fresh, modern artistry; woven textures will be prominent in Spring accessories. Whether you lean towards minimalist neutrals or love a pop of colour, woven inclusions add understated elegance to any outfit.
Why You’ll Love It — Injects instant character to an outfit.
How to Wear It — On your feet or over your shoulder! There are beautiful footwear options that create simple sophistication, heels or flats. A large beach bag for casual or a woven clutch for Spring cocktail attire.
