STRAIGHT OFF THE RUNWAY—Five Spring Trends You Can Wear Now

Just as we are starting to pull our fall wardrobe out of hibernation, the fashion world is already looking a season ahead to spring. Part of me wants to scream, “Slow down, people. It hasn’t even been cool enough for consistent sweater weather.”

But then I see all the new collections coming down the runway at New York Fashion Week and I feel myself saying, “Can we just skip this whole winter thing?” The colors, silhouettes and patterns already have me lusting for March…

Instead of sitting on the trends for the next six months, you can start incorporating these destined to be hot looks into your fall wardrobe.

Here are five major spring trends we have seen coming off the runway at New York Fashion Week and how you can wear them starting now!

1. Feminine flats

Spring/summer shows: Derek Lam and Wes Gordon

How to wear it now: You can start wearing flats with your favorite dress or skirt this fall. Just don’t forget to finish off the look with a thin jacket or coat!

How to wear it now: Is there any more perfect print for autumn? Rock plaid in all forms (we are loving printed peg leg pants!) straight through this season to be a major trendsetter come spring!

4. Modernized white top

Spring/summer shows: Tome and Zac Posen

How to wear it now: There is no easier way to make a classic piece modern than to pair it with a trend. For fall, wear your favorite white button-down with this season’s must-have pant—the culotte.

5. Fringe

Spring/summer shows: Dion Lee and Rachel Zoe

How to wear it now: In case you were worried this was going to be a passing fad, the runways indicate fringe is going full on fashion nuclear this spring. So it looks like your favorite kimono is going to be coming in handy this fall…
