Spring Fashion Trends for your May Capsule Wardrobe:
Spring Fashion Trends #1: Vests
GAP Linen-Cotton Vest ($69.95)
Fitted vests are a hot trend this spring season.
Vests were originally designed to be worn as a top layer over a t-shirt or button-down shirt.
However, today’s fashion is to wear them as a top alone.
The fitted look is very flattering styled with trousers, shorts, or relaxed denim jeans.
This season’s on trend vests include solid colors like ivory, gray, tan, and denim.

Spring Fashion Trends #2: Denim Button-Down Shirt
MADEWELL Denim Shirt ($89.99)
Ridiculously on trend is the Western-style denim button-down shirt.
Just as we saw the cowboy boots come back into style this past fall the denim button-down is right behind it.
And the denim-on-denim look will be a very popular trend as well.
Try styling this spring trend alone or layered over t-shirts and tanks with trousers and sneakers.

Spring Fashion Trends #3: Cream Trousers
BOOHOO Cream Trouser ($20)
Here’s a basic that you will get endless wear out of.

Good basics are pieces you know you will never get tired of meaning it could be trending but also contribute to years of service in your closet.
And trousers offer a way to throw on an easy go-to outfit for just about any occasion.
Style a pair of cream trousers with flat slide sandals, tennis shoes, loafers, or heels in spring and summer.

However, black is a staple because it’s a universal color that’s easy to style at any time of year.
The black maxi skirt is so versatile because you can wear one more formally for work or casually or for a night out.
Think black white and beige/ivory-colored outfits when creating outfits.
These colors work well together and are classic!
