With spring on the horizon, it’s the perfect excuse to refresh your wardrobe–but let’s keep it intentional. Fashion trends are moving faster than ever thanks to social media, but that doesn’t mean we have to buy into fast fashion or all the latest hauls and micro-trends.
This spring, we’re focusing on embracing fashion pieces that align with our unique style–meaning we’re shopping smarter and more sustainably. Developing your style is all about figuring out what works best for you, building a wardrobe of staple pieces, and adding fresh touches that feel authentic and match your vibe.
Read on for a few spring trends we’re loving–all while remaining fashion-conscious and true to our values!
Florals
Florals for spring? Absolutely groundbreaking–and we’re always here for it. Nothing says spring quite like floral fashion, but there are so many different ways to work with this timeless trend. Florals can be bold and colorful, soft and muted, embroidered, or neutral, however you choose to style your floral piece, you can do no wrong. This season, restyle floral pieces that you already own or go on a vintage treasure hunt for unique, one-of-a-kind finds.
Sheer Everything
From dresses to tops to accessories, we’re all about embracing sheer fabrics. Spring is a reminder to embrace light and breathable materials, and as the weather gets warmer we can gravitate toward such. Transparency is having a moment, and it’s equally playful and flirty! Look through your closet and see if there are any sheer pieces from past seasons that deserve to make a comeback this spring.
Pops of Red
Red never fails to serve main character energy, and it’s bringing this energy into spring. Whether it’s a red gingham dress or a bold and playful red ballet flat, this color is showing up everywhere. For a more sustainable take, add pops of red through accessories like bags, shoes, headbands or even a signature red lip. This pop of color will make any look instantly playful, fierce, and effortlessly bold.
Relaxed Tailoring
Relaxed tailoring is an eternal classic. From oversized blazers to relaxed wide-leg trousers and effortless two-piece sets, these pieces are all endlessly versatile. Wear them together or mix and match with other wardrobe staples to create numerous looks. These pieces give that “jefa-on-the-go” aesthetic and we don’t need much more!
Crochet & Handcrafted Textures
Spring, with the promise of warmer weather, calls for airy and breathable fabrics along with pieces that hint at summer. From crotchet tops to handcrafted accessories, these artisanal touches feel especially aligned with our roots. After all, so many Latin American cultures have rich traditions of creating beautiful and unique textiles by hand. Seek out handmade pieces by Latina owned businesses to support our fellow hardworking entrepreneurs this season!
Denim with a Twist
The Canadian tuxedo is always a classic staple that everyone should have in their wardrobe. Denim can be worked any way this spring–from unexpected cuts, patchwork detailing, and reworked silhouettes. Be adventurous with denim as the limit does not exist when trying to style denim pieces! Upcycle the denim you already own–give old jeans a new life as cutoffs (scissors encouraged, but please proceed with caution) or style pieces in fresh, unexpected ways.
Micro Shorts
Micro shorts are a trend that we’re seeing make their way from winter into spring and summer! From styling with a pair of opaque or sheer tights, spring is the time to embrace the micro short trend for multiple occasions. Style them for:
- Concerts and festivals
- Beach trips or tropical vacays
- Casual Sunday BBQs
Butter Yellow
Butter yellow, the “it” color and factor of the spring season. This soft, delicate hue flatters everyone and fits any aesthetic–from girly to edgy. We’re seeing this color in dresses, tops, cardigans, outerwear, accessories, you name it! The best part is that it pairs seamlessly with neutrals or bold colors, giving us endless styling options.
Refreshing your wardrobe for spring can be fun and exciting, and it doesn’t have to break the bank! By shopping sustainably, consciously, and re-styling/repurposing what you already own, we can embrace a new season and trends while still honoring our values and budgets!
