Spring Fashion Trends 2014

We are all looking forward to the first day of spring after what seems like the longest winter ever. More importantly we are looking forward to belly showing crop tops, open toed heels, and short shorts. Spring fashion is my favorite season for fashion. This season a lot of interesting and diverse things are in. Good news, there is something for everyone to look good in!

Here's a list of the top 8 trends for this spring:

#8: Cut- off Denim

Whenever I think about summer, I think about cut-off denim. This is such an easy and fun trend because it can be a DIY trend. You can get a cool looking pair of old jeans and cut them in your own style. You can also grab a great looking pair from almost any store. This trend is a must have this summer, show off those nice legs! We can see Kylie Jenner hanging out in a pair of cut-off denim shorts. Kylie paired it with a pair of combat boots and a plain black tee. This laid back look is easy to make and inexpensive.

 

#7: Sheer and Lace

Spring is the time to start showing off a little skin! A nice, sexy way to show off some skin is with some lace or sheer. Lace and sheer can be formal and informal as long as you wear it the right way. Always remember when it comes to lace and sheer, less is more! There is nothing worse than seeing parts of you I was not meant to see because you have sheer. Beyoncé shows how to wear lace best at the 2014 Grammy's. The last time we saw Beyoncé is when she announced her pregnancy with cute little baby Blue. When she stepped out on the Red Carpet she awed everyone with her beautiful lace gown by Michael Costello.

#6: Oversized Clothing

Oversized clothing is a trend that can either go very well, or very wrong. I'm here to make sure you are those who wear this trend very well. The idea is to balance out your oversized clothes with something form fitting. You cannot wear all oversized clothes. Maybe an oversized shirt or shorts but limit it to about one or two. These oversized shorts is another example of something you can find cheap at a thrift store and make it a DIY fashion trend. Vivienne Westwood, English fashion designer, shows off her oversized trendy style, she pairs it with a nice pair of skinny jeans.



#5: Colorful Blazers

Blazers are traditionally meant for professional wear but now a days it can be worn casually with almost anything. Blazers have a general standard look but can have many different styles. It can be oversized, have shoulder pads, have pockets, and for this Spring it can be colorful! This spring's trend is colorful blazers. They can be multi-colored or simply a whole color. We see Solange using this new trend with her beautiful multi- colored blazer by Roberto Cavalli. She pairs it with a black tank top and black shorts to make it her statement piece. It sure does make a statement!

#4: Color Blocks

This is a new trend that has some hints of 90's style in it. Color blocking is when you wear more than one block of color that is still stylish. Don't get this confused with mix matching anything because that's just tacky. Your color blocks should still be in the same color family, don't go too wild but have fun with it. It's spring, show off your colorful style! Gucci shows off this trend on the runway and celebrities like Michelle Obama, J-Lo and more joining in.



#3: Kitten Heels

I call them kitten heels, but this old fashion name is nothing like this refreshing trend. These heels are less than 5 inches but come in every style and color imaginable. They can be used for casual wear or business attire. You can catch Taylor Swift breaking out her kittens paired with a printed dress and boho jacket. This style is coming back and is a force to be reckoned with.

#2: Metallic

This futuristic style is taking over the retail stores and the runway. Metallic colors like silver, gold, and rose gold can be seen in everything from tops, bottoms, shoes, and accessories. Jennifer shows off her nice curves in a metallic gold skirt. As you can see she paired it with a simple black shirt. This trend is something you should pair with a simple solid- colored opposite. Let the metallic be your statement piece, it will definitely make some heads turn when you walk in the room. 

#1: Tribal Print

This trend is something I personally love, it is so funky and cool! It is fun to wear and definitely shows off your personality. There are all different types of prints you can wear in both tops and bottoms. Teyona Taylor rocks this trend in some cute tribal print. She shows off many different styles like romper, dresses, and shirts. This will be a fun spring trend and definitely a bold statement piece.
