Spring Essentials: 2024 Trends to Elevate Your Wardrobe

Spring is the one season that people typically associate with starting anew. The sun shines a little brighter, the birds chirp a little louder, and the weather finally starts getting a little warmer. Whether they’re a career-focused stylist or just a casual #fashiontok follower, most people find themselves using this pivotal time of year to revamp their closet. From jubilant hues to juxtaposed jewelry, this season’s styles will take your wardrobe up a notch. 

Florals: More Is More 

Florals are quintessential in the spring. Whether you’re having a picnic in the park or going on a first date, floral patterns give any outfit an obvious, flirty touch. You can embrace the flower power like it’s the ‘70s or you can go for a dainty look with a small-scale ditsy floral print, but either way your outfit will be fit for spring. Who needs subtlety when you can go all out? The more flowers, the better. The goal is to look like you walked straight out of a garden and into the best party in town. 

Color Clashing: Matching Is Soooo Last Season 

Gone are the days of perfectly matching colors and patterns. Spring 2024 is all about color clashing like you've never seen before. Red and brown? Absolutely! Stripes and polka dots? Why not? Throw the outdated fashion rules out the window and dress with wild abandon. If it hurts your eyes a little, you're doing it right. 

Accessories Galore: The Cherry on Top 

Who needs simplicity when you can go overboard with accessories? Layer those necklaces, stack those bracelets, and wear your biggest hoop earrings! The mantra for accessories this season is simple: the more, the merrier. Your outfit should always make a statement, and the best way to do that is by piling on as many accessories as (tastefully) possible. But don’t forget to look in the mirror and remove one piece before leaving the house, a la Coco Chanel. 

Layer Love: Taking Style into Overdrive 

Why wear just one layer when you can wear ten? With temperatures varying throughout the day, spring is all about layers, and we mean serious layers. Throw on a tank top, add a shirt, a sweater, a jacket, and maybe even grab a scarf (and an umbrella for rainy days!). The key here is to look like you effortlessly raided your entire closet in one go. If you're not sweating a little, you're not doing it right. And even if you do break a sweat, all you have to do is peel back a layer or two. 

Mixed Textures: Variety Is the Spice of Fashion 

Why stick to one texture when you can have them all? Mixing textures creates the best type of sensory overload. Pair your silk top with a corduroy skirt, or your leather jacket with a fuzzy sweater. The more textures you can cram into one outfit, the more you'll look like a fashionable risk-taker. Don't be afraid to experiment–fashion is all about taking a walk on the wild side. 
When refreshing your style this season, remember that all the silly fashion rules are just that: silly. Embrace the chaos. Whether you're clashing colors or piling on accessories, the goal is to make a statement and stand out from the crowd. This is the season to have fun with your wardrobe and let your newly found style shine through.
