10 FASHION TRENDS FOR SPRING/SUMMER 2015 YOU WILL ACTUALLY WANT TO WEAR

1.  FRINGE

Fringe has been popular for a while, but it is really going to explode this spring.  You will find it on dresses, skirts, tops, kimonos, shoes, bags, jewelry, etc.  Fringe = effortless cool, and you should totally consider wearing it.

2.  MARSALA

Every year, fashion enthusiasts wait with bated breath to find out what Pantone will declare as the color of the year.  Marsala was chosen for 2015; a dark reddish-brown.  It may sound a little icky, but it looks great on accessories.

3.  GINGHAM 

Gingham was all over the spring runways.  All ages, shapes, and sizes can easily wear this classic pattern.  If you want a modern country girl look, head straight for the gingham check.

4.  MILITARY INSPIRED

Personally, I don't believe that military inspired looks ever go out of style.  You can see me rocking a military jacket during any season.  However, the fashion gods have declared that military looks will be especially cool for this spring and summer.  So I guess that if you want to be cool, you have to wear some army-esque looks starting in March.

5.  1950s SILHOUETTES

The feminine full skirts of the 50s are back with a vengeance.  The best part of this trend is that it looks flattering on virtually everyone.  So channel your inner Lucille Ball and put on that circle skirt.

6.  DENIM

Denim is obviously always in style, but this spring will be denim on top of denim on top of denim.  Go ahead and wear your denim shirt with jeans, you'll look amazing.

7.  STATEMENT EARRINGS

Earrings are bigger and bolder than ever.  While you earlobes may not thank you, you will look hella chic with giant earrings framing your beautiful face.  Also, women with with all hair lengths can pull off statement earrings.  So go for it and don't be shy!

8.  THE CLASSIC POLO

Prepsters, dads, and golfers everywhere are rejoicing because the people in charge of fashion trends (who are those people?) have decided that polo shirts are the next cool thing.  This is good because polos are just as comfortable as a tee shirt, but add something extra to a look.

9.  LEATHER & SUEDE

Leather and suede are wintertime staples, but they aren't often found during the spring and summer.  Well, the rules no longer apply.  Keep wearing these materials into the warmer months.  Leather is badass, and I believe it has a place in your wardrobe all year round.

10.  FLORALS

I know, florals in spring?  What else is new?  But these aren't your grandmother's floral patterns.  They are super bright and enlarged to show detail.  Add in some palm fronds and a bird or two, and you are ready to go.
