Frequently asked questions
2 Denim Button Skirt
Denim is a year-round favourite and the denim button down skirt is one of the best chain store buys this spring. While the most covetable denim button skirt of the season is from the Alexa Chung for AG Jeans collaboration, you can easily get your hands on similar style skirts like this one from Topshop.
3 Square Neck Cami
Nineties-inspired fashion has been trending for some time now. However, it’s not always flannel shirts and Doc Martens. This season’s square neck singlets are a subtle nod to the nineties. This square neck cami from Topshop is perfect for pulling off a fresh spring look. Tuck it into an A-line denim skirt for a casual daytime look or dress it up at night with cigarette trousers and heels.
4 Pinstriped Shirt Dress
Stripes seem to be popular every season. Instead of horizontal stripes this spring, try the vertical variety instead. This pinstriped shirt dress from New Look is perfect for pulling off a chic understated look. Just team it with flat sandals, a compact side bag, and oversized sunglasses.
5 Suede Skirt
A great way to incorporate the seventies revival trend currently sweeping the runways is to add some suede to your spring wardrobes. This A-line skirt is by Miss Selfridge and would look great teamed with a basic white top, floppy hat, and strappy sandals. You can also check out Zara, Topshop and Forever 21 for similar buys.
6 Gingham Shirt
Gingham has been all over the designer runways lately. Whether it’s a shirt, dress, or shorts, this preppy print is a must in wardrobes this spring. This collared shirt is from online retailer boohoo.com, but you can find similar styles from Forever 21, and could easily be styled with other seasonal must-haves like the suede skirt.
7 Tailored Shorts
Start showing off some skin this spring with some tailored shorts. These smart yellow tweed shorts are from River Island and would look great paired with a floaty white blouse for a chic springtime look. There’s also a matching jacket available if you want to pull off a smart coordinated look.
8 Straw Sun Hat
Accessories are one of the easiest ways to update an outfit. Finish off your stylish outfits this spring with a straw sun hat. This floppy straw sun hat is from Forever 21 and will cost you less than $15. Also keep an eye out for classic fedora and boater-style straw hats.
9 White Sneakers
Athletic-inspired looks are still popular and one of the easiest ways to work this trend into your everyday outfit is with a pair of sneakers. This spring, you can’t beat an all-white pair. These classic sneakers are from Topshop and would look great worn with jersey midi dresses for a minimalist look.
There’s no reason to have to spend insane amounts of cash on spring fashions. These are just some key trend pieces that won’t break the bank. What’s on your shopping list for spring?
