Spring 2013 Fashion Trends!

Spring is finally here! It's my favorite season, because we can hide all the dark colors and heavy fabrics and bring out the soft and colorful spring clothes.

This year the spring fashion trends are quite unexpected, for the most part. There's a lot of colors, patterns and fabrics, that one wouldn't necessarily think to use for spring fashion.
But let's take a look at some of the most dominant trends, one by one.



Total White and Black & White

White was the leading color on the runways this season, from clothes and accessories to the decor.
The total white look is one of the hottest trends, especially with an androgynous outfit.

 
It's a very refreshing trend and really easy to recreate. Just mix and match white items and stay away from any color.
A great look would be a nice pleated mini dress with a tux blazer and a pair of white ballet flats or heals.



  
But white isn't only a trend on it's own. Black & White outfits are really popular this spring season too.

 To incorporate this trend to your style, mix black and white items with different patterns. Stripes, chess squares and other geometrical shapes give this look a great structured feeling.



Fluo

 
It wouldn't be spring without a touch of color. This year the trend is going overboard with intense fluo colors.

Mix contrasting colors together for a great eye catching result.



Stripes

 
Striped shirts, blazers, pants, dresses.. Stripes are a huge part of this seasons fashion. The most worn colors for this trend are black, white and red, but you could choose any color you like best.

Go subtle with just one striped piece on your outfit, or bold with an all striped look.




Patterns from Around the World

 
If you were anxious of what was going to happen to the tribal pieces, you loved last summer, stop worrying. The ethnic look is back and bigger than ever, with patterns from all around the world.

Tribal patterned maxi dresses are my favorite pieces, when it comes to this trend. They would look great with a messy braid, a long flowy cardigan and a comfortable pair of flats.



Leather

 
An unexpected fabric choice for spring this year is leather. It's everywhere and in any color you could think of.

Leather skirts and shorts are the most popular leather pieces. Pair them with casual tops, heeled ankle boots and gold accessories for a rocker chic look.



Bomber Jackets

 

The most seen item on the runway this season was the bomber (or bowling) jacket. You can find it in a variety of different colors and fabrics, providing a completely different look every time.

My choice of a bomber jacket would be a leather one, because it would be more versatile and wearable with many types of outfits.



Pencil Skirts

 
Another very popular piece for spring are pencil skirts. You can choose any color and fabric that fits you best.

Pencil skirts this season are seen mostly in a knee-level length. Pair them with high heeled sandals, to elongate your legs.



Airy Pants

 
Forget the skinny jeans and skin tight leggings for a while and invest in a loose fitting, comfortable pair of pants. They' re a big trend this season.

For a casual look, choose cotton fabrics and match them with a nice pair of sneakers.
If you want a dressy outfit, choose a silky fabric and a pair of high heeled sandals.


Enjoy mixing the different trends together and creating fun and beautiful outfits.
Don't ever forget to put your own styling twist on any look, to make it unique and personalized.
