The Trendy 2022 Updates to Every Typical Spring Item
Spring has officially started, and the shopping potential has never been better. With the beginning of the new season, I'm working on a closet refresh that's been a long time in the making.
To aid in this sartorial pursuit, I've been focusing on giving some of my spring go-tos a trendy update. This means taking stock of my usual collection of items, such as sunglasses, lightweight jackets, dresses, sandals, denim, knits, and more. From there, I check in with my mental must-have list of on-trend spring pieces and see which updates excite me the most.
This year, for example, I am setting aside my usual jean cutoffs and opting for longer denim Bermuda shorts. Rather than reaching for my beloved oversize green army jacket, I am excited to try a cool quilted pick instead. One thing's for sure: I am going to fully embrace some great green pieces since I am fully on board with the It color of the year.
Scroll on to see the coolest spring trends to consider for your own closet update this season.
Ruched button-front dresses are having a major moment this season.
Upgrade your go-to tank top with this neutral sweater version.
Oversize trousers are everywhere right now. I'd style these bad boys with a racerback tank top.
Quilted jackets are great for chilly spring days and nights.
An effortless cropped jacket layers perfectly over a variety of outfit combinations.
Denim Bermuda shorts feel very current. Elevate a pair with a basic tee, a blazer, and cool slide sandals.
I love everything, from the square neckline to the cool green print.
Matching sets are super chic. This one can easily be dressed up or down.
Shop the matching Millie Deep-V Sweater ($145).
This black cutout dress is under $100 and might easily become my go-to little black dress.
Ribbed cardigans are super versatile, and this green makes it even more on-trend.
Swap out your usual denim jacket with a shacket version this spring.
This everyday black dress can take you from running errands to sightseeing on vacation.
You'd never guess that this faux-leather trench is a little over $100.
Cool, sporty flip-flops are a comfy yet stylish way to complete a spring outfit.
I love the juxtaposition of the classic striped print with the statement sleeves.
Here's a sleek cutout dress that hits right at the ankle.
