• Tops: White button-down shirts  create a classic, crisp look. Also look for white T-shirts  and sleeveless tops  that can be layered with cardigans.
• Jeans: A pair of dark wash jeans  will take you seamlessly from winter to spring. Boot cut jeans  are your best bet since hems have been shrinking and widening a lot this year.
• Bottoms: As the weather warms up, you'll need to bust out the good stuff. Bermuda shorts  and A-line skirts  will keep you cool and stylish.
• Outerwear: As noted above, cardigans  are great for layering. It's okay to pick up some fun colors , but your staple items should in neutrals like heather  and cream . Also look for light knits  and hoodies ; this way you can shake things up between formal and casual occasions.
• Accessories: Chunky jewelry  and bangles  look good as new come spring, and a linen scarf  will add a little jauntiness to your look as well.

Throwback Throw Down

• A ton of classic looks have returned this spring, with some seventies classics coming on the strongest. Look for jumpsuits ,wide leg pants , and hot pants .
• At work, belted and tucked in styles are ideal.
• You can embrace the edgier culture of yesteryear with modified seventies rocker  and punk  looks.

Minimalist Mama

• This is a style built around bold contrasts. Black and white are the keys here.
• Find pieces in black with white trim , or vice versa.
• You can also seek out solid black  or white items and add a touch of contrast--heavy black heels  or a white belt .
• Get a futuristic boost from accessories: add a quilted jacket , a skinny belt , or some suspenders  for added oomph.

Nautical

• A spring/summer standard. Every year we break out our navy stripes  and white pants.
• This year, wide stripes  in bright colors help break up monotony.
• Want a nautical edge without the horizontal stripes? Try anchor patterned tops .
• Don't be afraid to layer with this look.

Lounge Lizard

• A style that's right out of the bedroom, this all about feeling loose and comfortable.
• Experiment with silky, satiny fabrics, be it in skirts , pants, lace trim tops , or even robes .
• Dresses  should similarly be flowing and long.
• This is a good look to mix and match; you can wear billowing pants with a tighter crop top .

Neutrals  remain essential to the season; they're the canvas prep you need to pull off some of this spring's more vibrant or extravagant styles.

Cape sleeves  and dolman tops  are part of this season's more relaxed fit styles. Roll necks  and tie-neck blouses  also work.

Get back some height without torturing your feet! This spring, platforms  are in; they feature wedge heels  and not too much of a teetering slope.

Flared jeans  are very seventies and they mimic the flow of the lounge look. Look for a high waistline and a medium-dark wash.

Once the warm weather hits, you won't want to be swimming in fabric. A pair of capris that ends just below the knee is classic and easy to throw on.

If you do feel floaty and light, a sheer skirt  is just what the fashion maven ordered! Long skirts should hit around the ankle or mid-calf, and will be see-through enough to see some leg.

Obi Belts

Seventies glamor styles need not be shapeless; an obi belt  will add curve to those flowing styles.

Bangles

 Bangles  are a a fun accessory worth holding on to; they always come back.

Tassels

Tassels are an extravagant detail that you can wear on a dress  or top, or use to jazz up your purse .

Sunglasses

Sunglasses are technically a summer accessory, but hey, spring has the occasional sunny day too. Look for oversize tinted glasses .
