This season fosters an opportunity to try out new styles that emerge during the warm, sunny season. This spring has many new trends, from highlighted hair to new experimental nails, allowing creativity to thrive. This is the ultimate style guide for spring fashion trends to try this season.
Many people opt for light-colored hair to match the sunny vibes spring brings. Spring is perfect for experimenting with unique hair colors like copper, strawberry blonde, platinum, or caramel highlights. An outgoing option that has grown in popularity is midnight blue hair. A shade of blue that isn’t too light, but still offers change, and a bright color to get spring vibes. Lightening up the hair fits perfectly with the lighter days spring delivers. Junior Courtney Darlington states, “Lightened hair looks perfect for the spring. Whether a copper balayage or caramel highlight, it fits the vibes well at this time of year.”
One of the fastest-growing trends is acrylic nails. Nail extensions allow creativity to thrive and pull looks together. Many choose classic looks like French tips, solid pastel colors, or light-colored polka dots. On the other hand, some prefer intricate flowers, blooming leaves, or light-toned stripe designs. Freshman Claire Fritz wears acrylics for every season, but spring is her favorite time for nail designs. “Spring nails are my favorite because they explore pastels and nature designs. My go-to in the spring is tulips on the ring fingers, and light colors on the others. Trying out these nature looks is definitely worth trying.”
This spring, coastal fashion is taking over the industry. This spring, Holister has collaborated with famous TikTok star Spencer Barbosa to craft the perfect coastal line. This line includes pastel colored bathing suits and shirts that fit the seaside vibe. The line also consists of the essential flowy white fabrics and layering. These summery clothing options are perfect for clothing and style experimentation.
This year, pickleball and tennis have taken the athletic world by storm. This increased interest has inspired brands to release tennis-inspired lines this spring. Clothing brand Southern Tide has collaborated with Credit One Charleston Open, the largest women-only tennis tournament in North America, to form a tennis line. This line has pastel-colored polos, vibrant active tops, and warm-weather-friendly apparel. Senior Waiz Shaikh adds, “I love the brand Southern Tide, and when I saw this spring release, the unique patterns and bright colors caught my eye. It’s not normally my style, but I want to experiment with it this spring.”
