We are at that time of year again; Winter is coming to an end and Spring is in sight. Fashion lovers everywhere are putting away their scarves and sweaters and breaking out their spring essentials. The only problem is that the spring clothes that we have stored away in the depths of our closets are from last year. Straight off the 2015 Spring Fashion Week runway, these spring must-haves will send you on a style frenzy and people will be sure to give you a double-take the next time you walk by, in a good way of course.

Marvelous Military Greens: This well-known hue works on just about anyone and that is why we see it snake its way through fashion’s history. Its timeless and chic qualities have left a lasting impression on designers across the globe and they love incorporating it in their designs. Whether you just rock the color or go full-out military style (or both!) you will have no problem pulling it off. It is not too safe and it is not too outrageous so it is perfect to wear all season long.People often associate it with sophistication and say that it gives off a cool edgy vibe.Everyone should have at least a splash of military green in their wardrobe, it can speak volumes! 

Beautiful Blue and White: Instead of the classic black and white, this color combination throws you back in time to the Ancient Greeks. I would even argue that it plays a big role in the country’s pristine beauty. And aren’t you glad Greek culture has finally hit the runways in America? Together, these colors are so easy on the eyes and they immediately make you think of clarity and relaxation. You cannot really go wrong with any type of blue so I suggest just picking out some of your favorite shades and going from there. Be sure not to wear only dark or light shades though, mixing it up will add some spice and excitement to your look. Also, be sure to try out different textures and designs, this spring is all about designs, patterns, and colors.

Stylish Shirt-dresses: Dresses are in for spring and the material is key. Denim was the show-stopper in New York it had everybody saying “more, more, more! (Kbeautypharm) ” But any material will do for this season being the season of variety and versatility. Belts are also making a comeback in a big way and belted dresses are a great option for everyday outfits. Some popular materials may also include silk and satin if you’re going for a sleek look.

One-of-a-kind One-shoulder Cuts: This style is sure to get you some attention. You will get a lot of “where did you get that?” and receive compliments galore! Stripes are stealing the show in this category and when paired together with a solid you just cannot go wrong. Be sure to play up your textures as well and don’t forget to wear it with confidence, you’ll look ten times better that way.

I cannot wait to see what trends will take center-stage on our campus this next season. Spring is all about fun and fresh fashion, so have fun with it!
