6 Spring Fashion Trends We’re Trying Out This Season
From prints that embody “la dolce vita” to delicate embroidery details and sets made to mix and match, these are the trends we’re watching (and buying) right now.
We partnered with Forever New to share the clothing and accessory trends that are taking over the fashion world right now - and reveal how to recreate the looks yourself.
Spring has well and truly arrived, and with it, the sense of lightness and playfulness that comes with sunny-season dressing.
Whether it’s a weekend away (or, for the lucky ones, a longer trip abroad), a spring wedding, a special sunset soirée or a low-key Sunday brunch in the sun, we’re looking for pieces that reflect the very best of the season to add to our wardrobes.
From versatile dresses that transition seamlessly from backyard barbecues to dinner, drinks, and dancing, to prints that evoke a resort state of mind, and sea-inspired accessories to match, Forever New’s latest collection delivers a vibrant dose of spring style to refresh our wardrobes.
The new pieces also embody some of the fashion world’s of-the-moment trends, with the brand’s signature feminine and timeless twist.
Drawing inspiration from the looks, we’ve curated the latest trends we're embracing this season - and the Forever New outfits to match.
Day-To-Night Dressing
With the end of the year rapidly approaching, one thing is very clear: event season is in full swing. Our calendars are fast filling with social engagements, with everything from spring weddings to pre-Christmas luncheons on the schedule. While the concept of “day-to-night dressing” is hardly new, spring is the time when we need our outfits to work overtime.
In this sense, Forever New's Aurelia Broderie Maxi Dress ($229.99) may just be the perfect find. With delicate cut-out detailing and a dusty pink hue to match springtime sunsets, it's perfect paired with sandals and a pair of tortoise-shell shades for daytime dressing.
For nighttime events, just add heels and touches of gold jewellery to elevate the look.
Italian-Inspired Prints
Euro Summer may be over, but an Italian Spring Sojourn is still very much on the cards - even if the journey only exists in our imaginations. Forever New’s latest prints take their inspiration from the casual elegance of the Italian coastline. Think vibrant blues from the Mediterranean Sea surrounding the Isle of Capri and citrus-inspired motifs thanks to Sorrento’s famous lemon groves.
We love the Catalina Printed Mini Dress in Capri Tile ($189.99), which blends Mediterranean blues and greens with bold yellow in a style reminiscent of traditional hand-painted Italian ceramics.
Bare Elegance
A modern take on a timeless silhouette, off-the-shoulder styles are back in a big way. Adding a hint of allure to your ensemble, spring is the perfect season to embrace this refined sophistication - and have a little fun with your look.
While we love an off-the-shoulder top, the Jacquie Off-Shoulder Mini Dress ($189.99) is our pick from Forever New. Relaxed yet refined, the golden-hued, botanical-inspired print is perfect for spring with elegant, off-the-shoulder bubble sleeves for an extra dose of glam.
Rust Rising
Spring is the season when colour comes back out to play, and the earthy elegance of rust tones is making a big splash. Amp up the warmth factor in the Kyla Beaded Tie Back Linen Midi Dress ($159.99), which combines the reddish-brown shade with splashes of red, orange and pale pink in a mood-boosting sun motif.
Made of light and breathable linen, the straps feature subtle beaded detailing for a chic twist. Pair with sneakers to elevate your casual, everyday look or match with strappy sandals and resin and wooden jewellery pieces to embrace the down-to-earth charm.
Cute & Co-Ordinating
Whether in spring or any other season, we love capsule wardrobe pieces that we can mix and match - and this Laia set, featuring a Midi Skirt ($119.99) and Tucked Strapless Top ($89.99) is satisfying our coordination cravings.
In a fun lemon, grape and floral print, the pieces pair perfectly together for evening occasionwear. To give your spring wardrobe longevity, style the pieces separately - we’ll be wearing the ruched strapless top with our favourite denim skirt on sunny days, and the midi skirt with our favourite white tee for Saturday market strolls.
She Sells Sea Shells
Every style maven knows you’re not fully dressed without accessories, and this season, shell-shaped jewellery is on everyone’s must-have list. Forever New’s Signature jewellery range - which features the Signature Selene Shell Pendant Necklace ($34.99) and the Signature Petrina Starfish Necklace ($49.99) - is designed to make a statement and add a touch of luxe to any look.
Synonymous with fun in the sun, shell jewellery has a nostalgic quality to it, with modern iterations putting a contemporary spin on the trend in the form of mixed metals, touches of pearl and oversized shapes. Adding an oceanic twist to your outfit is a surefire way to make serious fashion waves this spring.
