Keyword 1: Stripe

Spring and summer are prime seasons for the spotlight on stripe patterns. This year, stripes have made a bold return. From bold patterns to slender lines, the varied thickness is noteworthy, as is the vibrant color-blocking with multi-colors. Look out for stripe patterns in maxi dresses and dandy shirts and pants.

Keyword 2: Retro

Fashion's cyclical nature is an undeniable rule. Bootcut denim is back with a vengeance, and oversized jackets dominate the streets. This season is no exception, embracing retro fever from futuristic feminine styles to leopard prints and homewear looks. A unique twist this season is the rock-chic-infused retro style.

Keyword 3: Flower

This season, the runway was dominated by floral prints. After a winter clad in dark clothes, vibrant floral prints are a warmly welcomed keyword. The appearance of dazzling flowers on elegant long dresses, punk looks, and resort outfits has only added to their popularity. Keep an eye on floral prints favored by designers like Michael Kors, Tory Burch, and Marc Jacobs.

Keyword 4: Bra Top

While crop tops had their heyday, the era of bra tops has arrived. Brands like Phillip Lim and Bottega have introduced bra tops. They style them by layering sheer materials over or pairing them with dresses or jackets. For those worried about the boldness, layering a bra top over a thin turtleneck sweater or a basic white T-shirt is a stylish choice.

Keyword 5: Ruffle Up

To fully enjoy this spring, focus on the ruffle-up trend. Unique ruffle details will add a feminine touch to your spring wardrobe. This season, runways were adorned with various ruffle designs. If such feminine details feel overwhelming, try styling outfits with ruffles only on sleeves, skirt hems, or blouse necklines as a subtle approach.
