Spring fashion is full of lively styles this year, but experts say there’s a hot trend that works for everyone—regardless of your body, fashion preferences or costs.
The secret? It’s focused on making classic dishes look new.
This year, we’re seeing new takes on classic jackets such as denim, trench and leather. They aren’t like most boring outerwear clothes. These items have been updated by designers with a tasteful modern touch.
Samantha Brown, celebrity stylist and author of Dressing Up, says you shouldn’t buy clothes that you are uncomfortable wearing. It means getting a jacket that fits your style, but brings something new and exciting to your wardrobe.
In other words, how does that happen? Denim jackets with cropped hems or exciting collars are a good choice. Shoulders that are wider than usual are fashionable right now, making even plain clothes more daring.
Celebrity stylist Sara Acevedo is a fan of this style because it looks nice and is easy to wear. She points out that designers are exploring different sizes in their designs this spring. Big trench coats look great and are easy to wear, especially when they have strong shoulders or a cinched waist.
According to Erin Noël, who dresses Candace Cameron Bure and Mckenna Grace, we should consider choices besides just black leather.
For this season, leather styles are moving toward softer and more romantic looks, she says. If you are up for a challenge, try suede, ruffled edges or a blouson style. Small touches really matter a lot.
What’s especially great? You don’t have to buy lots of new clothes to fit into this trend. No matter if you’re wearing jeans and a tee, a flowy dress or workwear, these styles are simple to blend with your existing wardrobe.
That’s the very reason stylists are so excited about it. These jackets are easy to wear, classy and built to last, so you’ll never have to buy new ones too often.
Noël says that if you buy a trendy piece and it doesn’t match much, you’ll often find it still sitting in your closet. Still, the problem is those jackets. They’re flexible. They’re useful. They work.”
Brown agrees that while fads come and go, upgraded basics stay around for a while. She adds that you can keep wearing these jackets every year. The newer style keeps the menu engaging.
If you want a whole new spring look or just a single item to update your wardrobe, this trend is perfect because it’s useful, looks good on everyone and is on-trend.
If spring fashion seems a bit much to you, take another look at your jacket or coat. You can make your style different almost instantly by transforming what you already love to wear.
