Five of The Most Body-Flattering Spring Trends

There’s a lot to love about spring: the sun is out, the flowers are blooming, and everyone’s in a sunnier mood. Want to know something else that’s great about spring? The fashion trends, of course!

Winter wear is all about layering up, which means that spring is the perfect opportunity to ditch those bulky clothes and go for things that flatter your figure.

Ready to get started? Here are five of the most body-flattering trends to try out this spring!

Figure-hugging corsets

Corsets are spring’s most figure-flattering trend, but they don’t have to be too revealing. For anyone that wants to make this trend more modest and age-appropriate, StyleCaster recommends throwing one over your blouse or pairing your corset with high-waisted pants and a blazer. You can also opt for fabrics such as cotton or satin and veer away from some lacier options. All in all, this corset trend is out to prove that women of all shapes and sizes can definitely wear whatever they want.

Billowy dresses

Elegantly long and modest dresses were featured in a lot of runway shows this season, which is a welcome change from your typical mini dresses. While many of us only dream about wearing clothes off the runway, Woman Within’s flattering selection of dresses allows you to take advantage of this trend. Their monochrome maxi dresses are a particular standout, with a loose silhouette that works for just about any body type. Those who want a bit more shape can use a skinny belt to cinch your dress at the waist.

Crochet everything

Speaking of runway trends, crochet is also an upcoming trend, which is good news for everyone who’s been looking to pick up a new crafting hobby.

Crochet clothing adds a sense of individuality in today’s fast-fashion landscape. This return to a vintage fabric craft now has a body-positive twist, from Kate Spade’s vibrant maxi dresses to Stella McCartney’s slinkier options with their plunging necklines.

Utility jackets

Menswear is a great place to get some fashion inspiration, and utility jackets are our new favorite trend. You might be thinking to yourself that utility jackets are a bit too bulky, but thankfully designers are adding a more flattering twist to this particular garment. Baum Und Pferdgarten’s crop jacket marries a beautiful cream color with a workwear collar and oversized pockets perfect for storing essentials on the go.

Puff sleeves

Whether it’s on a dress or a blouse, there’s no denying that puff sleeves add a romantic touch to your overall look. In fact, you can use this trend to go full-on feminine with your outfit, opting for clothes in subtle pinks and crisp whites. The added benefit of puff sleeves is that they give maximum impact for minimum effort, so it doesn’t require a lot of work to dress them up. Pairing a puff-sleeve top with jeans and sandals is a great look on its own!

Spring is all about reinvention, and these fashion trends can help you do just that. Above all, don’t forget to stay tuned to our Fashion Archives for the newest fashion tips and tricks.
