Spring 2018's Most Wearable Fashion Trends

Spring 2018's Most Wearable Fashion Trends

Gone are the days of obscure styles and impractical buys; this is the year of wearable fashion. Say sayonara to stuffy nine-to-five looks, fussy formalwear, or offensive hues. Instead, usher in a slew of easy and flattering trends for Spring 2018 designed to bring out the best in you.

PASTELS

Move over primary shades, because we're in a pastel state of mind. The sophisticated tones show up in soft knits, simple sheath dresses, and subtle detailing to give even the edgiest moto jackets and ponyhair toppers a flirty twist.

THE NEW GOING-OUT TOP

Reinvent your date-night ensemble with a selection of statement blouses, shirts, and bodysuits that pair well with worn-in denim and head-turning footwear. Keep it classy without compromising your cuteness via looks that play with volume, color, and texture rather than revealing cutouts and body-con silhouettes.

WARM-WEATHER PLAID

Who said you can only be mad for plaid during freezing temps? The perennial print becomes unexpectedly playful when you mix and match with stripes, dots, or other tartans.

THE PERFECT TRENCH

This season is all about variations on the go-to wardrobe staple. If classic cuts are more your style, reach for street-style approved hues like pastels or acid brights. But if being a bit bold is in the cards for you this season, opt for deconstructed toppers that feature cutouts, sheer panels, and skirted hems.

HEAD-TO-TOE DENIM

The Canadian tuxedo has officially been upgraded just in time for the changing temps. Think head-to-toe dark denim with clean lines and trendy proportions. Pop on a workwear-ready blazer when the temps take an unexpected dip.

THROWBACK FLORALS

Before your write off florals for spring as a total cliché, hear us out. 2018's version of the cheerful pattern is inspired by tropical locales and graphic takes on vintage prints. Throw it all the way back to the '60s and '70s with bold botanicals in a pared-down color palette.
