HERE’S WHAT VOGUE HAS TO SAY

Bye bye winter coats and clunky boots! Sure, layers create a look, but having to dress sensibly doesn’t always allow you to be as creative or as expressive as you’d like with your outfits. It’s time to shed the layers and get started on your Spring looks! And who better to guide you with the coming trends then Vogue experts. According to the Vogue Runway team, almost half of the fashion trends they predicted have now made their way into stores, and VIP is here to help you navigate the months ahead in style with fashion forward sustainable brands such as Mara Hoffman, Stella McCartney, Sunnei, Cleobella and more!

Note: Some brands listed below are more sustainable than others, but all are on the right track by putting sustainable practices and plans in place.

PRETTY WHITE DRESS

Be it a crisp white cotton dress over pants with loafers, or a breezy boho beach look, the little white dress is making a statement this spring! And there are many looks to suit your style, such as tiered, strapless, lace, and more – and a variety of lengths, such as mini, midi and maxi. A dreamy white dress is exactly what is needed to feel comfortable and chic this spring!

ICONIC TRENCHES

We can’t really talk about spring without mentioning trench coats, can we? For effortless transeasonal styling, discover these sustainable brands that offer a covetable range of trench coats. Whether you’re layering yours over jeans or workwear, these trench coats have been redesigned with the newest style in mind. These impeccably tailored trench coats will see you through rain, hail and shine.

NEW COLOR CODES

Out with the old, and in with the new! If you want to know about colors in the fashion world this spring, Vogue experts have taken the guesswork out of the color wheel for us. Color blocking, a styling technique that pairs garments in contrasting colors together, hit the catwalks at spring fashion shows. To create a block effect, you work with two or three solid colors and stack one above or next to the other. Create your own dynamic effect by matching up your own pieces, or choose a pre-styled piece, such as Theory’s Color Blocked Shift Dress or Anne Klein’s Color Blocked Faux Wrap Dress, as seen below.

ICE BLUES

Although the summer season may feel like the time to break out our brightest colors, Vogue is suggesting we dip our toes into the glacial waters by incorporating ice blue tones into our wardrobe. Whether you want to splash by opting for a black base for a bold look, or a light beige base for a sophisticated look, or want to cover yourself from head to toe, embracing ice blues this season is a surefire way to cooling yourself off this summer. To help you get started, check out these pieces from some of my favorite brands.

PENCIL SKIRTS

Well, it appears pencil skirts are back! Yes, the chic figure-hugging style has made a captivating comeback and its no longer reserved for the office. For a casual or streetwear look, pair your skirt with a simple t-shirt or hoodie. To stay on trend, why not incorporate “quiet luxury” by wearing a black pencil skirt with an unbuttoned white shirt tucked in. Now that’s a classic!

SHEER PLEASURES

It appears that sheer clothing is once again memorizing the world. Red carpets have been brimming with transparency and see-through styles and delivering a feeling of whimsy and elegance. Don’t be surprised to see a lot gauzy skirts and semi-sheer tops in your favorite shop windows. Sheer fabrics can add depth to your outfits. Chiffon, mesh and tulle can be a perfect pairing to a full pant or pencil skirt.

POPPED COLLARS ARE COOL

Next time you’re staring at yourself in the mirror in your polo wondering “should I pop the collar?”, well, the answer is YES! Not only does it create a polished look, but it also frames the face. And polos of all kinds, with their splendid collars, are here to set the trendy tone! Gone are the days of associating the look with fratty or preppy references. Whatever the occasion, a polo shirt is a great way to create a sporty or casual look. Perfect for your next golf outing, night out or barbeque.

ELEVATE YOUR LOOK WITH SHORTS

Whether you’re headed to Happy Hour with friends, a coffee run, or even the office, there’s a stylish “shorts” look waiting for you. As we find ourselves rethinking our wardrobes for this spring, let us not forget the sleek short. Our summer outfits don’t have to solely be about flowy dresses and silk pants. Shorts, this spring, can be worn in a casual or formal setting, as long as they are styled correctly. For example, for a polished look, reach for tailored shorts in a rigid fabric, like cotton, or thick linen. Pair them with a button-down shirt, knits, or a blazer. There is a myriad of ways we can give these bottoms a lift!

STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES

The rose, along with its thorns, have long been inspiring designers and have also influenced the way we feel and look. Stylish and elegant, there is a perfect rose-inspired outfit waiting for you to showcase your unique style. From rosettes to large-scale blooms, these splendors have been parading the spring runways and will definitely add a splash of fun to your wardrobe.

ALL ABOUT SKIRTS

Full, flowy, tiered or A-line, the skirt is on trend! And their boundless styling options make them a spring staple, seamlessly suited for every occasion. Try pairing your full skirts with a fitted top to balance the volume – like a slim button down or a graphic tee. With your fitted skirts, think the opposite, add volume with a blouse or ruffled top. For a casual and understated look, pair them with a flat or heeled thong sandal.

 Hope you enjoyed these must-try trends of the season. They’ve arrived and are in full bloom!
