Spring not only brings warmer weather and longer nights but also a much needed change in wardrobe. Maxi dresses, shorts, floral tops, and sandals can finally come out from winter storage. You can break out the bright colors and patterned pieces that you have missed so much and enjoy the warm sun. Spring and summer fashions bring a happier and cheerier mood toward things.

Different patterns are a huge trend for the spring and summer. Floral is a largely favored pattern around this time of year. It is a bright and cheery look that’s perfect for spring. Floral pants, dresses, scarves and even sunglasses are in full bloom this spring. Monochromatic checks seem to be a newly popular color scheme and pattern that top named designers like for this season. Another pattern that is seen everywhere is the chevron stripes. The design is a change from the normal horizontal or vertical stripe and it is a fun way to change up your wardrobe, your nails or even your home décor.

As the weather gets warmer and spending time at the beach becomes a favorite pastime, a huge trend that goes with that relaxing oasis is nautical themed apparel. Anchors or navy stripes are a perfect way to take in that summer sun.
Color is a very important aspect of fashion during the spring and summer time. It adds a bright flair and change from the dark drab colors worn in the winter. Coral, teal, mint green, navy blue, or a poppy red are all largely popular colors for this time of year. The color can gives any wardrobe exactly what it needs to look perfect.
Another must have, that designers have favored this season, is the white-and-black look. It’s a classic, clean and can be worn year-round. These neutral colors can go with anything and can be worn at any time of the day. They are definitely a must have to complete any wardrobe.

Statement sunglasses are also a popular trend this season, and a lot of celebrities have been seen out and about sporting this fun look. There are many different styles and types of sunglasses to choice from, whether you like trendy, glam, cool, or classic types. Classic sunglasses are a simple chic with the stylish cat-eyes style in black or a tortoiseshell color. The trendy style sunglasses are ones that make a statement, whether it’s with crazy colors, graphic patterns or wacky details on a geometric and cat-eye frames. Glam sunglasses are ones that add drama because they are oversized with animal prints, sparking studs or anything that will make them stand out. The cool sunglasses are those that have a modern feel with a sleek shape, reflected or mirrored lenses and unexpected details.

Depending on the shape of your face can narrow down what sunglasses will look the best. Square or rectangle frames create a nice contrast and bring attention to people who have a rounded shape face. For those who have square shaped faces an oval or rounded frame can soften the jaw. Heart-shaped faces should choose rounded sunglass that goes down between the eyes, or an inverted triangle shape. One type that would be an excellent style for the heart-shaped face would be the aviators because of the way they go narrow at the bottom. People who have a long shaped face can go with wide, oversized frames to break it up or even cat-eyes which will draw attention up. Oval shaped faces are uniformed from the top to the bottom so any type of sunglass will work.

Those are only just a few of the trendy styles that are happening this spring and summer. As the seasons change so does the fashion choices. Fashion is a way to express individuality and with the different choices that come with the warm weather, the options are endless.
