Modern Minimalism

Modern minimalism is a popular trend to replace boring wardrobe staples with clean lines and streamlined silhouettes. This season, embrace this pared-back sensibility with crisp neutrals and tailored pieces that aren’t afraid to show some skin. The season’s most chic mules and trousers are the perfect choice for those who want simplicity and ease.
Romantic Ruching

It’s no coincidence Cottagecore took hold so strongly when it did—this feeling of escapism and romance resonates strongly at the moment. You can capture this sense of whimsy with pieces that have ruched details. There’s something exquisitely elegant about gathered fabric. And it translates across pieces from blouses and dresses to handbags and the season’s best sandals.
Preppy Staples

These micro trends such as tennis skirts, polos and draped knits are already gaining popularity. We can expect these preppy staples continue to make a comeback as the weather warms. Even if you don’t think of your style as country club-inspired, mixing and matching polished items like a crisp loafer with your existing wardrobe is a perfect way to enhance your spring style.
Y2K Nostalgia

The easygoing attitude and skin-revealing silhouettes of the early aughts have returned to mainstream fashion. With baby tees, cargo pants, and the-brighter-the-better color palettes making a comeback, why not imbue your 2022 style with a nostalgic point of view? Bold, chunky slides are the perfect choice.
