Spring is a great time of year not only to update your wardrobe but to combine items that are great for Summer and some garments that are great for Winter. Along with staples like Natori’s luxury caftans, there are a number of essentials you need this Spring.
If you aren’t sure what to buy or which items are the next hot trend, here are 10 essentials you need to be wearing this Spring.
Low-Waists
Low-waisted jeans and skirts were the big things in the 90s, and they seemed to disappear almost overnight. However, 2022 is the year of the comeback, and low-waists are at the front of the queue again.
While the “Genie in a Bottle” look is dated, a low-waisted skirt and crop top are certainly a great option for hotter days. If that isn’t for you, a button-up shirt and low-waisted skirt is a modern take on a very retro look.
Liquid Metallics
Every season there is a color or palette that takes many by surprise; this Spring is no different. Metallics are no longer just for your makeup, and flowy, metallic skirts and shirts are the in-thing this Spring.
While wearing full metallic might be a bit overwhelming for some, silvers and golds match perfectly with white. A pair of flowy and comfortable white pants with a silver or gold top is a simple yet stylish and chic day look.
Sheer
There hasn’t been a time yet where sheers have been entirely out of fashion. However, they have seen a resurgence over the past season or two. Considering they are the ideal item for warmer days, it isn’t hard to see why they are so popular.
Sheer tops and dresses have been hitting runways across the world, and while some may be a bit too risque for an everyday look, they are great for layering or just wearing on their own.
Mini Skirts
Mini skirts are another item that hasn’t been out of fashion since they first hit the shelves. They are simple, can be worn day or night, and can be dressed up or dressed down by changing your shoes or accessories.
Mini skirts can also be quite flattering for many body shapes. Designers nowadays are creating items that are suitable for as many body shapes and sizes as possible, meaning there is no better time to add one to your wardrobe.
White
White has been a staple of Spring fashion for years. It is light, makes you feel cool, and is also the perfect color to use as a base for other bright colors and patterns. However, an all-white look is a classic.
White linen and cotton, in particular, are flattering and incredibly comfortable, and your outfits can be changed from brunch to date night just by adding a pair of heels.
Knitted
When you hear “knitted dress” or “knitted top,” your mind probably instantly starts thinking about Woodstock and the 70s. However, knitted garments aren’t just for those who are hippies or make their own clothes.
Knitted dresses, in particular, have seen a massive spike in popularity due to giving you the same look a cocktail dress would, but with more freedom to move. Once again, you can also layer if you need to on those nights with a chilly breeze.
Leather Jacket
Made famous by bikers and Top Gun, leather jackets were everywhere in the 80s and 90s. After slowly coming back into fashion over the past few years, they are most certainly back again this Spring.
Leather jackets are perfect for day or night, can be worn with Summer clothes or Winter clothes, and if you get one in black, there is very little they don’t match. You can keep it simple with jeans or shorts, go grunge by pairing it with a dress, or steal a runway look and match it with a crop top.
Button-Down Shirts
While button-down shirts have been part of men’s fashion for decades, they have been reserved for relaxing in women’s fashion. That has changed a lot, with more and more women embracing and adapting the formal garment.
Another incredibly versatile item, a button-down shirt is suitable for almost any situation, time of day, or event. Stick to neutral or muted colors, and you will have an item that suits any wardrobe.
Big Bags
Regarding accessories, there is one stand-out item that is hitting every shelf and store, oversized bags. While we aren’t talking about something the size of a piece of luggage, oversized bags are far more useful than you think.
Not to mention the almost endless color and style combinations that are available and the numerous price points; combined, there is an oversized bag for every taste and budget.
Stylish Sneakers
Puma, Nike, and Adidas have become synonymous with making super-stylish sneakers for women. There are also a few staples that should be in your closet, too; a pair of white low-top Air Force 1’s are a prime example, perfect to wear with a cute dress.
Comfortable, incredibly well made, and almost timeless, Air Force 1’s have been part of street and alternative fashion for decades, and they’re equally at home at lunch as they are on a date.
