8 Sassy, Fun, Sexy Spring Trends

You’re ahead of the shopping game with our style guide.

-Bethany Bassler

The Spring/Summer 2011 runways were filled with fringe, lace, white dresses, floral prints, 70’s revival and sheer everything to name a few. This barrage of new trends can be a daunting task. You can be as on trend as Zoe Saldana! Look no further my little pets, ‘cause we have narrowed down the top 8 trends for this spring and summer.

1. Fringe or tassels

Too much can conjure up a western vibe, so be careful and don’t overdue this trend. Just one piece trimmed in fringe or tassels will suffice, so keep the rest of the outfit neutral.

2. Lace

It’s everywhere! Used either as an embellishment or for the entire garment. Just remember a little goes a long way, unless you’re Madonna or Lady Gaga.

3. Wide leg pants

They’re a welcome option from all those skinny jeans that are so tight you have to lie down to put them on. So rejoice in your roomy pants and remember to wear platforms to offset the bulk, or buy cropped versions to appear thinner and taller.

4. White dresses

You don’t have to wait for Memorial Day to wear them. Whit dresses show the return to minimalism. Contrary to belief, they can be quite flattering if you accentuate your assets right.

5. Florals

They crop up every spring (pardon the pun) and this year is no exception. The runways showed us floral prints on dresses, tops, jackets and even shoes.
