Tie-Dye
The groovy surfer-girl print resurfaces for spring on grown-up cocktail dresses and sleek shirts. If we were betting women, we’d put 10 bucks on this spring trend turning up on the red carpet well before March 2010.
The Feathered Skirt
Spring’s kicky, flirty plume-trimmed skirts pretty much guarantee a fun night out—and at least two dozen “OMG, where did you get that?!” compliments every time you wear it.
The Fold-Over Neckline
More work-friendly than an off-the-shoulder cut but not quite the basic V, spring’s draped necklines are the perfect way to show off a new necklace—or just your own pretty face.
The Tweedy Suit and Monotone Look
Who says tweedy suits are only for ladies who lunch? Spring’s bright, youthful versions look cute on everyone, even if you’re the chowing-down-at-a-diner kind of girl. Not into the tweed thing? Then try the bolder, can’t-miss look of wearing one color head to toe. An outfit like this one will make you seem a little taller—and way more fashion-forward.
The Tailored Vest
Think of it as the cardigan of spring: It’s ideal for layering over dresses and tops but will never get those weird sweater pills, even if you wear it nonstop.
The Drapey Minidress
Be prepared to have some impulsive fun this spring; just throw on one of the season’s filmy silk dresses with a deep-V neckline and you can be out the door (and looking chic) in five minutes flat.
Friendship Bracelets and Not-So-Yellow Mellow
These two trends are as cheery as they come. There’s still time to dig up all those friendship bracelets you’ve got filed away along with your mix tapes, gawky portraits and old origamilike notes from your BFF. Just try to resist the temptation of dotting your i’s with hearts when you wear them.
The Khaki Suit
At last! A warm-weather suit alternative that doesn’t involve wrinkles-when-you-look-at-it-funny linen. Bonus: A tan silk blazer like this one can do double duty. On the weekend, it can be whipped out and used to dress up a basic T-shirt and jeans.
The Scarlet Jacket
Wear a lightweight spring coat in a bright, universally flattering hue like this and everyone will notice how stylish you are, even from a hundred feet away.
Head-to-toe Gray
Neutral colors are a big trend for spring ‘10, but we know that khaki, camel and beige aren’t always flattering to all skin tones. So why not try light gray instead? It’s an easier color to pull off, and it somehow makes office essentials—like button-downs and knee-length skirts—seem movie star-worthy.
The Multiprint Dress
Designers finally figured out that not everyone was blessed with the mix-and-matching gene—they whipped up skirts and dresses that feature several perfectly paired prints!
The Military Coat
A shrunken military jacket like this one from Marc Jacobs will keep the dampness from spring’s showers at bay. (However, you might want to wear yours with pants.)
