How To Make Spring's Boldest Trends Actually Wearable
With warmer weather just around the corner, we’re itching to ditch our winter coats and boots in favor of some lighter, brighter wardrobe staples.
According to the spring 2018 runways, this year it’s all about bold, graphic florals, rainbow hues, plastic and/or vinyl pieces, exaggerated sportswear and plenty of sheer fabrics. The thing is, when trends appear on the runway, they don’t always seem wearable or even accessible to those who aren’t models.
The key is to adapt the trends to fit your personal style and comfort zone. Not into wearing sequins from head-to-toe but love the sparkle? Dip your toes into the trend with a sequined skirt or embellished shoe. Love sheer dresses but not ready to show the world all your undergarments? Try layering sheer pieces over other articles of clothing, or try a sheer top with pants and a jacket to keep things a little more conservative.
To help provide you with some real-world inspiration, we compiled a list of seven of the season’s top trends. We’ve shown them on the runway, and then you can use our slider tool to see what they can look like off the runway. Check them out below:
