This spring, designers looked to have fun in the sun, whether they were playing with beachy colors, garden prints or sporty cuts.
The vibe is clean, energetic and oh so easy to wear.
We’ve rounded up some of our favorite trends walking off the runways and hitting the shelves.
Styles: Preppy, Sporty + Ladylike
Kick your style into gear with some of the season’s sportier fare, including bold stripes, tank dresses and bright blazers. Feeling flirtier? Let the return of Mad Men inspire you with pretty little dresses featuring girly details like pleats and pintucks.
Double-Breasted Blazer, $118, J. Crew
Striped Jersey Blouson Dress, $275, Nicole Miller
Jacquard Dress, $130, Banana Republic
Colors: Tangerine, Cobalt Blue + Pastels
Let there be brights! Sunny oranges and vivid blues evoke warm seaside scapes, but for a cooler tone, try one of the season’s sherbet pastels. Set off all of these shades with crisp white, or pair them together for a colorblock effect, which continues as a fun and easy trend.
French Connection Flowing Halter Dress, $248, Bloomingdale’s

Joe’s Tina Sandal, $89.95, Nordstrom
Patterns: Tribal, Floral + Abstract
Whether you favor pretty florals, graphic abstracts or tribal designs, there’s a print for everyone this spring. The bravest stylistas are going head-to-toe in mix-and-match pieces, but for the rest of us, a striking pattern paired with denim or a simple white shirt looks smart but cheerful.
