Here at Syracuse when we look out our windows flurries still drop down onto the ground. Despite the fact that it’s March, Syracuse weather tends to warm up towards the end of April. But don’t fret! Since spring break is just around the corner, many students are more than eager to escape the brutal winds of Syracuse to a much warmer climate.
Before you make that getaway trip or if you just want to update your wardrobe come spring, here are five upcoming trends for young women to look out for.
Girls just want to have fun:
1. Colored trousers were a big hit on the runway this spring. Designers like J.Crew and Matthew Williamson showcased bright colored pants as a season staple. This is a sure way to brighten up your look. If you want your wardrobe to stand out adding a vivid hue will have all eyes on you. Stores like J.Crew and Zara carry a plethora of colored trousers to choose from.
2. Prints have reappeared almost every season. The most common print that’s making a comeback (some may argue it never left) is floral prints. From dresses, to skirts and even tops, florals are exploding to every piece of our clothing. But since we are all trendsetters, or at least try to be, here are some ways to rock this trend in a fashion forward way. Graphic florals are different but still very chic. If you’re daring enough try a full out floral suit, Peter Som and Prabal Gurung mastered the floral suit in their spring collection. If you think that may be a little overboard then stick to a floral blazer or floral trousers.
