Spring Fashion 2017 — The Pieces You Want

Never mind what the groundhog says! We say now’s the time to begin. In the Midwest, a few random days in February is as good a reason as any to get up to speed on the trends of spring fashion 2017.

Spring/summer runway shows forecast that silhouettes and patterns will rule in the upcoming months. Glitter and stripes and polka dots and thick belts and shoulders will work their way to options for the fashionista.

But the challenge for the budget fashionista is the age-old individual — picking garments that reveal on-trend sensibility, without being therefore trendy that you won’t have the ability to wear them . Wecame up with our list of 5 most fabulous spring costume essentials for your budget fashionista and’ve shopped the choices for you.

Spring Fashion 2017 Essentials

Style pieces are perfect to the workplace, for dinner with the women if you are at a business situation or anytime you wish to measure up your casual look. Should you have to stock up on the fundamentals, see this information from our buddies at GreekU.com.

1. The Girly Top

Michael Kors, Chloe and others attracted flowers to their spring ’17 layouts — along with ribbons, lace and baby doll shirts. The takeaway is that feminine is in a large way, and in. Nod with the addition of a few florals. And since the next item in your shopping list is leggings, we would advise you to go for at least one tunic.

Satin Tea Blouse in Floral, $19.50, ASOS

2. Leggings with Design

Pink leggings with incorporated sneakers made their way but we are breaking that look down into a wearable combo: open-toe booties and bright leggings. This season, you can break out of this black leggings mould and experiment with new colours and fabrics. Anybody or velvet, corduroy?

3. Open-toe Booties

The open-toe bootie is a classic that can accompany nearly any piece that is trendy. They will look as great with your leggings since they will with the jeans you bought. For ultimate wearability, start looking for styles with a block heel — and embellishments — no huge buckles, no fringe.

4. Shirt Dress

The runways also featured a selection of bits, like jumpsuits out of a pinstriped shirt-dress and Hermes and Vanessa Seward in Alexander Wang while styles were aplenty. That’s your sign to put in two or a shirt dress to your wardrobe. We enjoy choices made of crisp fabrics which are long enough to match with a belt. And you also get bonus points for pinstripes!

Vero Moda Pinstripe Belted Shirt Dress, $53, ASOS

Cotton Shirt Dress with Oversized Cuff, $34.50 (on sale), ASOS

5.  Kimono Jacket

The kimono coat is a wardrobe selection and close cousin. This style nods to the trench coats, cinched waists and belted robes (yes, that’s a matter ) that showed up in designer collections for the spring. Choose pieces with wide belts for the most impact.
