  Spring season is coming up and a new season calls for a new look. Spring fashion is about to bloom for those who love to coordinate and look good. Even for those people who aren’t usually into dressing up, now’s  a chance to start.

  As you may already know, spring is mostly about colorful trends and floral prints. According to Nordstrom’s official website, the most popular clothing items for this season would be anything floral: colorful flowery tops, pants, jackets, hats, even shoes and bags (nordstrom.com). Senior Roisin Mackenzie said, “I really like to go for the hippie look, so mixing that with spring fashion is always fun. If I wear anything floral during the spring it is usually long maxi dresses.” According to Senior Athena Dickinson, not only can you rock the floral look with dresses, but Hawaiian shirts for both girls and boys also fit the floral category and are in this season, Dickinson said, “If I’m going to wear flora,l it would just be one item, like a top, so that way it doesn’t look like too much.”

  Since winter is just ending and it isn’t yet completely hot or cold, you might find some cute jumpsuits very suitable for your daily life, and guess what? They are in style, according to the Elle magazine website. Although you might consider jumpsuits a dated clothing item, there are still many new patterns and styles of jumpsuits out there. “I haven’t really seen anything new, just a lot of recycled stuff, mainly from like the ‘70s,” said Mackenzie. Dickinson mentioned that Urban Outfitters is a popular store that many people go to during the spring season to find a satisfying new wardrobe (elle.com).

  Now many might be wondering what type of bottoms go with those gorgeous floral tops they have. Do you just wear the regular skinny jeans or leggings? According to Dickinson, loose rolled up pants are being worn more and more. According to Elle, new shoe styles that can match your outfits are one strap or two strap slip on sandals in all colors (elle.com).

  Whether you are getting ready for a date, to go out with your friends, or you just want to be comfy and look cute at the same time at home, you can mix and match these stylish spring season clothes to get the look you are going for. Don’t be afraid to add in your natural style and make your spring wardrobe your own.
