The start of a new season always comes with a flood of new fashion trends. Changing my outfits for the upcoming season has always been such an exciting activity for me, especially when it’s a change to warmer weather. The start of spring is definitely a new and fresh time, and there are so many fun fashion pieces that are trending this spring season. This is a list of some inexpensive, head to toe fashion must-haves for spring of 2021. 

  1. Headbands – Headbands are such a cute and inexpensive trend this season. They look great with hoodies and sweatshirts, or they can be dressed up. The best part is that they can be bought in almost any store. Check out Amazon, Target, or a local drugstore. ​​​https://www.amazon.com/cloth-headbands/s?k=cloth+headbands
  2. Rectangle sunglasses – Retro rectangle sunglasses are cute and inexpensive, and can add something fun to any outfit. Sunglasses are always a must for the warmer weather, and these ones are definitely on trend. These sunglasses are also inexpensive and can be bought from Amazon.  https://www.amazon.com/Dollger-Rectangle-Sunglasses-Fashion-Protection/dp/B083JXV741/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?crid=2IVBYDQMQ3225&dchild=1&keywords=rectangle+sunglasses&qid=1617302908&sprefix=rectang%2Caps%2C174&sr=8-3-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzOFRRSEZJSTVPRktRJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMjk1MTk5M0hQRjM1MVZVSkNWNCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNzU1NTkyMVhJSU0wVjJTSlNNWiZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=
  3. Colorful jewelry – Colorful, chunky jewelry is a trend I’ve definitely been seeing more and more. Slowly but surely, colorful plastic rings are rising in popularity. These rings can be found on Esty and give such a fun pop of color to a neutral outfit. Also, buying from Etsy helps support small businesses, so that’s an even better option! https://www.etsy.com/listing/919799764/chunky-resin-acrylic-rings?gpla=1&gao=1&
  4. Small top and big pants – A smaller top paired with big pants is such a fun trend. Contrary to what was popular a few years ago, opting for a tighter, smaller top and some bigger pants is stylish. Stitch-work is also huge right now! I love this trend because it combines a bunch of colors and patterns which is exciting to wear. I love stores like Princess Polly and small boutiques for cute tops! There are so many cute boutiques in the Portsmouth area that are great as well. Opal and Oak is my personal favorite boutique. https://us.princesspolly.com/ , https://www.instagram.com/opalandoak/?hl=en
  5. Big pants – Colorful loose leg pants pair perfectly with a smaller top. Sage green is popular right now. I’ve always been a huge fan of the color, and wearing it gives some color to an outfit for the springtime. This spring is definitely all about fun colors, so colorful pants are a must. My favorite place to buy pants is Zara. https://www.zara.com/us/en/woman-jeans-l1119.html
  6. Small bag – Small bags are in now. I love this trend because I hate carrying around large bags, so small bags are perfect if you feel the same way. Colorful, slouchy handbags are cute for the spring and summer, and I think these will blow up this spring. The trends this spring seem to be all about color, which I love! https://www.urbanoutfitters.com/shop/uo-croc-baguette-bag?inventoryCountry=US&color=034&size=ONE%20SIZE&type=REGULAR&quantity=1
  7. Shoes – Personally, I prefer sneakers over heels any day. White chunky sneakers have been trending for a while, and I think they are a staple in any closet. Investing in some high-quality white sneakers is worth it. These are my favorite that I wear every day. https://www.windsorsmith.com.au/carte-white-leather-sneakerOn the other hand, colorful, plastic kitten heels are blowing up right now too. I love the look of these shoes and they give that pop of color for the springtime. https://www.stevemadden.com/products/harlin-pink?variant=34841900056709&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=smart-shopping-bestseller&gclid=CjwKCAjw3pWDBhB3EiwAV1c5rG_AtTCC53BqY6lI08QEbBpfVxcda304B5WJ9PBPizXEZgc1y1x1BhoCBaIQAvD_BwE
