If I had a million dollars…if I had a million dollars. That is what I think when I peruse through fashion magazine after fashion magazine oogling at the 2016 Spring fashion trends. (I also think of the song by The Barenaked Ladies, but I digress.)
There are so many fun trends this season that I couldn’t pick my favorite, so I opted to show you my top 5. It was hard to choose but I mustered through.
FLORALS
I never in a million years thought I would like florals. Yes, they are beautiful and feminine but when I would think of florals, Laura Ashley would pop into my mind and I would immediately envision a comforter and frilly dust ruffle. The modern floral has come a long way. Now you see designs in watercolor, embroidery, not so squished together floral patterns. Below are my favorites.
- TOMS La Vie est Belle Slip-On
- Jella C. Floral Print Swing Dress
- Leith Floral Cold Shoulder Top
- Vince Camuto Floral Breeze Print Pleat Neck Blouse
- Chooka Watercolor Poppy Rain Boot
- Free People Floral Print Surplice Back Tank
FRINGE
Fringe has been in style for ages, and I don’t see it going away any time soon. Season after season, I see fringe on just about anything – and love just about anything with it! Fringe adds movement to whatever it embellishes.
- Topshop Strappy Fringe Maxi Dress
- Steve Madden Festival Flair Fringe Cutout Wrap
- BP Metal Fringe Layered Necklace
- T&C by Theodora and Callum Crochet Cover-Up
- Rebecca Minkoff Micro Lexi Fringe Bucket Bag
- BC Footwear Dinky Fringe Sandal
CUTOUTS
This trend took a little bit to get used to. Cutouts are now found on shirts, pants, shoes. That little peek of skin add a “wow” to the piece.
- Cupcakes and Cashmere Lisbon Cold Shoulder Cutout Top
- Lucky Brand Embroidered Eyelet Top
- Mimi Chica Cutout Chambray Romper
- Free People Dance with Me Off the Shoulder Fit and Flare Dress
- Soprano Front Cutout Skater Dress
COLD SHOULDER
First off, I love the name of this trend. It aptly defines what it is. The shirts you find within this trend show off the shoulders – possibly making them cold. Either way, I can’t wait to get my hands on one or two tops. There are a lot to choose from – form fitting or blousy and flowly. Both exude sexiness.
- Sun & Shadow Cold Shoulder Bell Sleeve Top
- ASTR Split Neck Cold Shoulder Blouse
- Band of Gypsies Cold Shoulder Slipdress
- Missguided Cold Shoulder Body-Con Dress
- Sun and Shadow Floral Print Cold Shoulder Romper
DENIM
Jeans go many ways this season. The flared jean stays in the picture (thankfully as I love my miH jeans so much!) as does the high-waisted skinny jean that my midsection adores. Which style is best? The one you feel most comfortable in. Aside from style, there is a myriad of washes and lengths as well. Options seem endless, so you can pick the style that you foresee will make it through a few seasons. I highly recommend investing in at least one quality pair of jeans – the pair that makes your butt look fabulous and makes you feel like a million bucks. After that you can pick up some cute trendy styles for less.

SPRING FASHION TRENDS RECAP
So if you had to choose one Spring trend as your favorite, which one would it be?
I can’t wait for the cold shoulders!!
I know, right?! So excited…I think I might get the one from Cupcakes and Cashmere since it’s a mix of the cold shoulder and cutout.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE that florals are coming back! I think they are so pretty!
They are – this season is my favorite for florals!
I can’t get enough of fringe and florals! I’m currently searching for a cute floral blazer. Any places you know of?
Anita, I would check out H&M for a floral blazer – I feel like I saw one in the store window, but check their website! Good luck!
I love it all! <3 Spring fashion is almost as amazing as fall fashion! 😛
I agree Ashley! They are both my favorite seasons too.
I absolutely love floral and fringe!!! Floral to me can never get old but some people can OVER use it in the wrong way! Its all about how you wear it for sure!! Yay for spring and soon summer!!!
I am cheering for Spring and Summer along with you Valarie! 🙂
It’s taken me awhile to get on the fringe train, but I am finally ready. Loving florals too!
Those boyfriend jeans are super cute. I think I might have to get a pair.
They are cute, right Tish? I have a similar pair and they are very comfortable.
Personally, I am really loving all the florals (as I do every Spring) as well as the fringe accents. I always love the re-entry of bold colors and patterns. That’s the best part of Spring and Summer, to me! – Katy
Katy, Spring always brings those bright and fun colors – I love it!
Oh I love this post!! My favorites are the cut outs, bare shoulders and the floral!! Great post!!
Thanks Ruthie! I can’t wait to get a cold shoulder shirt!!
I love the cut-out trend! Everything I’ve bought lately is cut-out or floral!

I hear you – the weather where I am can’t make up its mind. It’s cold and windy and then it’s super hot and humid like today…
Love this! I have to say I’m still not a big fan of fringe, I’m trying to get more on board with it but it’s just not a style that appeals to me. But I love cutouts and florals have come a long way, you’re right!
What is so great about trends these days is that there are so many, there’s bound to be a few that fit for each person – like cutouts and florals for you. Thanks for stopping by Hannah!
I’m currently obsessed with all the florals and fringe items out! I love those toms, so cute!
Aren’t those TOMS adorable! I think I may need to get a pair 😉
I love cut-outs and cold shoulders! I’m so ready for warm weather to come back!!
I hear you (well, it’s warm where I am but not the Springtime warm that I miss!)
Loooving those floral prints! I can’t wait until its officially warm enough to rock them!
First off I want to say wonderful blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your head before writing.
I have had a hard time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there.
I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10
to 15 minutes are usually wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions
or hints? Many thanks!
Chantal, I like to break down what I am going to write about into sections…almost like a brain dump of what I points I want to bring up. It sets the pace and outline for the rest of the content.
