The 5 Best Fashion Looks and Trends for Spring

Candy WashingtonComment

Hi lovelies,

Even though we just wrapped Fashion Month with runway shows from New York, Paris, London, Milan, Hong Kong, and even Los Angeles, for the newest and hottest looks for Fall/Winter 2015, Spring is right around the corner and I've got you covered for the must-have items and trends for the new, warmer fashion season.

The 70's: This is currently the hottest decade to draw inspiration from in the fashion community. From belle bottom silhouettes, fringe, floppy hats, pretty print, and flowy dresses, all-things 70's are on-trend this season.


Ballerina's are the belle of the ball: Really pretty and delicate looks dominated the runways this season. From chiffon and tulle skirts and dresses to criss-cross tops baring a peek of a midriff to dance practice inspired bottoms. Looking feminine fierce in ballerina-esque pieces will make you the belle of the fashion belle this season.


Full circle: The days of rocking square bags are over. Opt for circular bags to be trendy this season. You can still pack your essentials into you bags, just maybe not your laptop or iPad.


Call of Duty: Military inspired looks are taking command this Spring and you can soldier on in this trend by wearing fatigue prints, deep greens, military jackets, and army one-pieces.


Denim Dream: Denim is back in a big way. We love chambray button-ups, denim jumpers, and all-denim looks that mix-and-match different rinses from dark-to-medium-to-light denim colorways.
