Spring’s Hottest Trends

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Virginia Tech chapter.

The clocks have moved forward, the weather is warming up and we’re ready to toss aside our riding boots for a cute pair of wedges. Spring has sprung and we’re stoked to embrace this season’s biggest trends.
 
Floral
 
Spring doesn’t mean the only thing blooming are the tulips. Big, bold floral patterns are making their way onto the runway and our closets. Pair a floral dress with simple jewelry (ex: stud earrings) for the perfect springtime piece.

Neon
 
Neon colors have made quite an impression on the runway this season. Maybe the bright colors are a little too bright for your liking? Try accessorizing with a bright color like yellow. This messenger bag will give you an extra pop of color for a night out.

Lip Stain
 
Tired of harsh matte lipstick? Stick with a lip stain for a natural color. Our favorite is Cover Girl’s Outlast Lipstain in Scarlet Pucker (perfect for all skin tones).

Top Knots
 
OK, so maybe you’ve never taken ballet, but this fashion trend can make you feel like a dancer. Style icons like Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port are making this sleek trend look as effortless as possible.

Mint Nails
 
We’re not talking about mint chocolate chip ice cream (mmmmm); we’re talking about the perfect shade for a mani.

Cat Eye Shades
 
Want to channel your inner Audrey Hepburn? Then cat eye sunglasses are the perfect accessory.

Wedges
 
Wedges are making a big step this season (no pun intended). They’re super easy to walk in, and they look amazing with a flirty sundress.
