It’s that time of year again–when the warmth of the sun hits comfortably on our skin, and the crashing of waves are clearly heard. It’s almost calling our names, as we take our last finals and get ready for Spring Break 2014. While you are worried about acing your last finals, leave your spring travel packing worries to us! Here are a few necessities that we swear by for the sun-kissed week:
1. Crop tops
Crop tops have been the dominant trend over the past year, but now they’re hotter than ever. You can dress a crop top up with matching bottoms for a sophisticated dinner look, or just pair the top with a simple pair of cut-off denim shorts and hit the beach.
2. Art Print
The paint splatters, colorful murals, and bold patterns that are printed on camis and tops are a quick way to look springy without much effort (which is music to my ears). Pair the top with boyfriend jeans and a cute pair of sandals, or with a slim back pant for a more dressed up look.
(These street styles are instantly glam!)
3. Fringes
What is spring break without festival/boho inspired outfits? A fringe bag is a small but quick way to welcome the season without overdoing the trend. Or, you can opt for a more bold but understated look (like shown in the picture).
4. Big florals
The idea of big, bold flower patterns can be daunting, but it’s definitely the easiest trend to wear. These floral rompers and dresses are seen all over clothing stores like Forever 21, Urban Outfitters, and even ASOS. In my opinion, rompers and dresses are effortless to wear and a comfortable alternative to a plain t-shirt and shorts.
(I have my eyes on this romper from ASOS right now!)
So, this spring break, wherever you are going, pack lightly because all of these trends and essentials can be dressed up or down to create a totally different look. Whether you’re enjoying a nice dinner downtown or hitting the beach daily, I promise people won’t even notice you’re wearing the same thing twice!
