The Wordy Girl on Spring 2018 Fashion Trends

Let’s put some Spring fashion into our step, shall we? Here, I round up the top must-have fashion trends for Spring with a little help from my fashion forward friends at THE COLLECTION…

BRIGHT HUES

The preferred palette for spring? Bright and bold hues. Say “goodbye” to neutrals and “hello” to hyper saturated colors such as vivid yellow, orange, green and fuchsia. The louder… the better. I Promise.

 

FULL TRANSPARENCY

See-through garments are also de rigueur. Throw leather to the wayside as sheer, skin-revealing fabrics are all the rage. Think gauze-y dresses, PVC handbags and plastic corsets. In other words, go clear!

 

MIX IT UP

Once upon a time, it was a fashion faux pas to mix prints. Well, scratch that notion. Bold pattern play — also known as wearing more than one print at once — is highly encouraged. So pair that polka dot blouse with a floral-print skirt, okay?

 

DECADENT DENIM

Haute denim is now a thing. Yes, the all-American staple got the formal treatment in the shape of rhinestone studs, darker washes and quirky silhouettes.

 

FANNY PACK

We can’t deny it any longer: The fanny pack is here to stay. Once a tourist staple, the hip-slung bag is now for the trendy masses.

 

LAVENDER

Every season, there’s always an IT color. Well, look no further than lavender this year. The soft purple color can be spotted on everything from knits to formal wear.

 

MICRO FRAMES

The ‘90s called. They want their sunglasses back. Teeny tiny sunglasses are all the rage. Just ask Bella Hadid.
