fun spring fashion trends to try 

Fashion Find #1 – Slim Sneakers

First on the list of fun fashion finds that will add an instant, modern upgrade to your spring wardrobe: slim sneakers. These are the anti-dad sneakers—think streamlined, flat, and retro-sleek.

You’ll spot standout styles from some of my favorite contemporary designers like Rag & Bone, Vince, Veronica Beard, and Loewe. I’ve always struggled with ballet flats—they simply don’t offer much support. These low-profile sneakers are a sportier, more comfortable alternative.

What they lack in height, they make up for in versatility. You can wear them with everything from skirts and dresses to jeans and wide-leg trousers. I’ve linked my top picks below so you can shop them easily.

Fashion Find #2 – Bold Bangles

Oh, my ’80s-loving ladies—you’re going to want to embrace this one. Remember the stack? The chunkier, the better? Well… bold bangles are back, and I, for one, am here for it!

Jewelry is one of the easiest ways to breathe new life into your look. It’s simple, affordable, and a fun way to switch things up. This season, it’s all about sculptural shapes, chunky gold, and earthy wood textures that instantly elevate even your most basic outfits.

You don’t have to go full-on arm stack to make a statement. A few neutral-toned bangles in varying widths or sculptural shapes can add just the right amount of visual interest. Even one or two well-chosen pieces can elevate your basics in an instant.

I styled this rich brown stack with a fitted black top (shown above) for a look that feels chic, modern, and totally effortless. And yes—black and brown together? Always a good idea.

Fashion Find #3 – Power Pendant 

You know I love a statement piece that’s also effortless—and that’s exactly what a long pendant necklace delivers. It’s elegant, eye-catching, and one of the easiest ways to upgrade your spring outfits with almost no effort.

Of all the jewelry trends, this one’s the least complicated to wear. Bangles can get lost under sleeves, and earrings—while beautiful—can sometimes be heavy or uncomfortable. But a great pendant necklace? It just works.

I’ve been layering mine over everything from a classic white button-down to lightweight sweaters, and it instantly makes the whole outfit feel more styled. You can keep it simple or go bold, depending on your personal style.

One quick tip: pay close attention to length. A pendant that falls around 15–18 inches will typically hit right at your décolletage, while a longer one—25 inches or more—will land somewhere below the bust. Both lengths are flattering; it just depends on your outfit and neckline. (For larger-busted women, I generally recommend the shorter option—so you don’t get that “hanging off the cliff” effect 😉.)

If you want to try something a little more trend-forward, look for pendant styles on leather cords or in vintage-inspired metals like brass. These pieces will definitely give your spring looks that extra pop.

Fashion Find #4 – Balloon Pants

This next trend is a little trickier to try than accessories—but I think it’s super cool and definitely worth a shot!

Voluminous, high-waisted, and gently tapered at the ankle, balloon pants are one of spring’s biggest statement pieces. A similar shape that’s also trending this season is the barrel leg pant (or jean), which is still going strong. The balloon or barrel silhouette can help accentuate your shape—or even create some done-for-you curves.

Opt for a neutral color like black, olive green, or khaki for a surprisingly flattering and versatile option. You’ll find these pants and jeans at a variety of price points already—which isn’t always the case with newer trends. That’s usually a sign they’re here to stay (at least for a couple of years).

Styling tip: I recommend pairing balloon or barrel pants with a more fitted top to keep proportions balanced. I’ve also seen quite a few street style looks where the pants are tucked slightly into a pair of booties—it’s unexpected, but really cool.

These won’t replace your go-to jeans or trousers, but they’re a great switch-up when you want to play with shape or make a subtle statement.

Fashion Find #5 – Chic Capris

Last on the list… ready or not, capris are back—and honestly? They’re better than ever.

This season’s version is sleek, but far less fitted than the skin-tight biker shorts we saw a few years ago. The most flattering cut hits just below the knee, and the best fabrics offer structure and tailoring—think cotton, ponte, crepe, or pleated styles that drape beautifully.

Paired with the right top, jacket, and shoes, capris can look elegant, elevated, and yet totally fashion-forward. DO try an all-black outfit with a neutral blazer and chic sneakers this spring (pictured above). I’d wear this running errands—or even sightseeing on a big European getaway this summer. (Let’s book a trip!)

If you’ve been contemplating this trend, consider this your sign: capris are having a moment… and they’re worth trying. Promise.
