Bohemian chic, floral, baby pink and recycled pieces are on on trend for spring!
After one of the harsher winters in recent years, it’s no wonder Long Islanders are rolling out the red carpet for spring. With temperatures finally beginning to creep up, coats, boots, and scarves are getting put away from these eye-catching new trends. As with everything in fashion, some of these trends are recycled and may already live in the back of your closet, and others give you the perfect excuse for an afternoon of shopping!
Boho is has been back, and this spring it’s better than ever. The result of a years-long 70s revival across the fashion space along with the reemergence of hippie anti-establishment values, bohemian chic is everywhere. Delicate hand-beading glittered on models in sheer maxi dresses walking down the runway. Romantic, ruffle blouses and clog heels strut up the street on cool, young professionals. Anyone who still owns a pair of Frye boots, this trend belongs to you!
An offshoot of boho is the fluid silhouette. A clean break from the excessive layering we’ve seen so much of, the looser, unrestricted shapes of spring fashion shows a real desire for movement and breathability. Big, bell sleeves have been popping up on celebrities across various red carpets, and now, it looks like these bold, free-flowing outlines are available to the everyday shopper, too. To match these shapes, the fabrics favored are also airy and slippery; satin and silk that runs off the skin like water, or thin cotton that billows when you walk.
Florals are so synonymous with spring that we can all hear Meryl Streep drolly remarking on how groundbreaking the idea is. Well, this spring, gingham is the supreme reigning print. Button up dresses and high waisted linen shorts in soft pastel brown and white, or navy and white, gingham offer a refreshing take on what can easily be a garish pattern. It’s a classic, preppy look that is easily incorporated into any wardrobe.
If you’re diametrically opposed to gingham, a more entry level trend this season is baby pink. The color of spring 2025, sheer pink is the perfect way to herald in warmer days. Evocative of florals without ever having to go near a print, petal pink is understated, feminine, and elegant. A simple blouse or dress in this color on the first sunny day will have you feeling like the secret queen of springtime.
Spring is all about renewal and reawakening. Nothing is more spring than digging through your closet and finding some gorgeous item with the tags still on it. Breath life back into what you already have and put together new and exciting outfits from preexisting items. If you’ve still got the shop-o-holic urge after that, then maybe this guide will guide you to a trendy new top!
