Top 10 Spring Fashions
The weather is warming up. The flowers are blooming. It's springtime! If you are looking to add some spring style to your wardrobe, check out the hottest spring fashion trends. From flirty florals to crisp whites, you'll love these sensational spring fashions.

1Spring Fashion TrendsWIDE-LEG PANTS

Toss your skinny jeans aside and replace them with a great pair of wide-leg pants. This season, wide-leg trousers with a high waist are hot for the office, while wide-leg flare jeans are trendy for weekend wear.

2CITRUS COLORS

Honeysuckle Pink as the hottest color of 2011. And though the pinks are still hot for spring, citrus shades are taking center stage. Add a punch of color to your look by incorporating pieces in bright shades of orange and yellow. If you wouldn't dare wear a bold orange dress, you can still get into this trend with accessories. Citrus handbags, shoes and jewelry look fabulous with everything from crisp white to basic black.

3Easy Breezy Living

Finally, we can relax.  Breezy dressing dominates this season. The trend that translates well into real life. Fluid silk pants, flowing long skirts and sheer, billowy tops in neutral shades and fun prints offer a cool, comfortable style that can't be beat.

4MIXED PRINTS

This season's BIG idea is to mix patterns all you want. Playful polka dots, stripes, florals and graphic prints come together in an eclectic mishmash that works beautifully for spring. To pull off this look, pick prints that are the same color scheme and the same scale. 


5'70S FLAVOR

Peasant blouses, big floppy hats, flared jeans and platform shoes -- retro pieces from the '70s are a big part of spring fashion. You don't need to dress head-to-toe in hippie-chic fashions, but it's fun to incorporate a piece or two from the '70s.

6Spring Fashion TrendsWHITE DENIM

Buy a new pair of cropped pants in crisp white denim. You can partner your white jeans with a vibrant top and bold shoes. White jean jackets are also hot for spring -- the perfect layering piece for cool mornings and evenings.

7NAUTICAL STYLE

The warm weather of spring ushers in the nautical trend. Navy and white striped boatneck tops, white sailor trousers, deck shoes and other nautical-inspired fashions can be found everywhere.

Preppy ACCESSORIES

Raid your mom's closet or the local thrift store to find old school preppy accessories for spring. Shop for preppy pieces such as tasseled loafers (flat or with heels), black and white oxfords, lady-like watches, headbands with bows, natty striped totes, geek chic glasses and vintage jewelry.

9FLATFORM SHOES

Speaking of platform shoes, one of the latest fashion trends for spring are flatforms. These shoes have a platform sole that is the same height the whole length of the shoe, keeping your foot flat and comfortable. They are great because you get the height you crave without the pain of heels.


10NATURAL ELEMENTS

Straw, raffia, cork, wood and shells add a touch of nature to spring shoes and handbags.
