Springtime Trends
One of HerCampus ISU’s very own fashion bloggers, Stephanie Bacos, has put together a list of this spring’s hottest trends for all you readers! So go clear out that drab winter wardrobe because it’s time to pack your closet with these fresh, new outfits!
1. Monochrome Stripes
Combine two of the hottest trends for this spring: Black and White, and my favorite…STRIPES! Bold stripes demand attention and can be worn anywhere! When mixed with the timeless color combo of black and white, these stripes are a classic way to make a statement. Do yourself a favor and pick up a striped blazer to wear with a crop top and liquid leggings.
GoJane $22.80
Forever 21 $19.80

2. Floral
We all know that nothing says springtime like floral print. Now we all have an excuse to pull out last year’s pieces because floral is finally back again. Leah Melby, Stylist from Elle Magazine calls it “a perennial favorite” and raves about how it took over the runways for spring trends. Delicate and dainty or bold and bright, either way you can’t go wrong.

Nasty Gal $42.00

3. Statement Sunglasses
Where to begin…Statement sunglasses are without a doubt the HOTTEST trend for this spring and summer. Trust me. There are so many different kinds you can go as cool or edgy as you want. Miley wears them, RiRi wears them, and of course the beloved Kardashian sisters have been wearing them since the fall. Get a pair now and claim your look because come June you’ll be seeing them everywhere.

4. Skater Skirt
This ice skater inspired skirt from the 90’s is making a comeback! They’re flattering on any body type and easy to wear with anything. The skater skirt falls naturally at your waistline and flows breezy around your legs, making them appear long and lean. You won’t even look at your tight high waisted skirt after you get one of these babies.

Forever 21 $19.80
Go Jane $15.00
5. Peekaboo Crop tops
Showing a little skin is always in; and there’s no trendier way to do it now then with a peekaboo crop top. In Style described it perfectly by saying, “it offers suggestive glimpses of skin while still keeping you fully clothed.” This daring trend is perfect for a night out or just some fun in the sun. Rock one of these flashy tops with anything high waisted, and be sure to choose lingerie accordingly.
Akira $19.00
