Curious about the hottest trends for 2010? Here are some of the latest styles you can expect to see this spring:
Neutrals: The buzz everywhere is about neutrals. As boutiques start updating their spring inventory, there’s an entire category dedicated to neutrals on nearly every site. Neutrals are awesome because they can be paired with various colors, plus give off a fresh, clean aura…a perfect vibe for Spring. I absolutely love how snake skin texture has been incorporated into this trendy Diane von Furstenberg studded clutch and adorable snake embossed beaded necklace. Calypso has put out an embroidered and embellished mini-dress that’s such a versatile piece for spring, and I can’t help envisioning sitting on a deck in paradise somewhere in their printed breezy jumpsuit.
Romantic: If you like romantic, feminine, slightly bo-ho pieces, you’re a lucky girl. Lots of ruffles, lace, and whimsical delicate details will be around this season. Check out this ruffled sheer chiffon dress or the ruffled sleeves in this sweet floral jumper and this filigree lace handbag to see what I mean.
Polka-Dots: I don’t know about you, but I keep seeing polka-dot print in a variety of colors this season. Of course, you’ve got your basic black and white, but you’ll also find them integrated with the latest colors such as the latest pineapple yellow that’s popular this season. For a more modern, almost deconstructed, polka dot them, check out this green v-neck party dress where the dots fade into an inverted pattern. Glam it up with this one-shoulder sequinned number, or channel your inner Pretty Woman, with an updated take on her signature polka dot shopping dress…
Distressed Denim: Distressed denim is back and hotter than ever this season! Start of slow with this mildly ripped flare from Grey Ant if you’re a little hesitant to latch on to the style. What something other than ripped/torn jeans? Try J Brand’s pencil legged palette style which opts for, you guessed it, decorative paint splatter. This faded skinny pair of Seven’s is highly distressed, but never fear, there’s some black material patches underneath to keep you covered.
Bold Graphic Prints: Not only bold graphic prints, but also mixing and matching various prints together, will be a popular trend this season. For example, you could mix this floral blouse with this multi-patterned satin ruffled skirt. If you’re unsure if you can pull off the mixing-and-matching yourself, try either this multi-patterned halter dress or multi-dot floral kimono inspired blouse instead. Both have mulitple prints and textures themselves, so you can achieve the look without the work.
