Flowers are blooming and trees are gaining their leaves back, which means that spring has finally arrived! Of course you need to be stylish for the months to come. So here are some quick tips on which is in this spring.

For the ladies:

We all know during the spring and summer months we like to bare the midriff, and that is staying! Croptops are definitely a must-have this spring. Sheer is a must-have as well. Sheer is a new trend made for those girls who still like to be sweet yet sporty! The also cool material will let you be refreshed during sunny days. Although shorts are going to be worn mostly, if you feel a breeze is too strong and want to cover the legs white pants are also a great accent.

Leading to the style and prints of shirts; graphics are and will always be in. Black and white prints are a very bold statement which is liked a lot this season. Pretty pastels are also a statement! Pastels definitely work with the sunny days and brightens up your exterior. Pastel florals will totally wrap spring into one piece. If there are any “Gossip Girl” fans, Blair Waldorf would approve and promote the wearing of florals this spring. But if you like to be more edgy, fringe is a knockout. It can be sweet or it can be totally rocker, however its lightweight swish is perfect for the warm weather feel. Embellished details are also in because it can be girly from just being jewels or perfect for rockers by having sparkly studs.

Now the must-haves for spring. Accessory-wise, tiny bags are in because they are a small, cute attribute to your style but aren’t overwhelmingly big. Need protection from the sun? Baseball hats are a fun new way. Something striped is a must! High-waisted pants are returning yet again to coexist with crop tops and other flirty shirts. Sundresses are also an always during the spring. Sweaters haven’t left quite yet! Lightweight sweaters and a moto jacket are always needed in a wardrobe.

The best stores to look for these trends are Topshop by Nordstrom, Forever 21, Urban Outfitters, Pacsun and Tillys. But there are always other stores that will have some pieces as well.

For the men:

It may be difficult to tell teenage boys what to wear in spring but bomber jackets and tie-dye are something new and cool that aren’t too crazy. But otherwise, the teenage boys style hasn’t changed much. Check out Pacsun, Tilly’s, Urban Outfitters and Beachworks to really be hip.
