Spring 2016 Fashion Trends list

1) Colors

To begin this list of spring 2016 fashion trends I have the top colors. Right now we are loving a blushed hue of pink, yellow, and orange or tangerine. Honestly these colors spell spring! If you do not yet have them in your closet, you may want to consider snagging some pieces.

2) Printed Accessories

Second we have accessories that feature prints. It is super fun to take a rather plain outfit and throw in a printed piece as a statement to really pull the look together. Think about animal prints, florals, etc. I love a good printed handbag or shoes myself to really spice up my outfit.

4) Stone Accents

Number four in this list of spring 2016 fashion trends is stone accents. Primarily we are seeing precious crystals being worn as necklaces, but they are also available in other formats like bracelets, rings, and earrings. Try throwing at least one stone into your look to see how you like it. I have a feeling you will pull some great, positive attention your way.

7) Stripes

The last look in this list of spring 2016 fashion trends is stripes. Personally, I am a huge fan of stripes, with black and white being my favorite. Stripes have a way of making you feel highly fashionable, and even provide girl boss vibes. While the typical striped blouse or skirt is ok, think about unexpected ways that you can wear stripes like with a handbag or shoes.
