How to Wear Spring Fashion Trend Culotest

Culottes took the spring runways by storm and were a huge trend over the summer.  The trend continues into fall, but maybe you aren’t sure how to work them into your fall wardrobe.

  •  Retire the light fabrics and go for a more structured cut in a heavier fabric.  My favorite. My Favorites are these black faux leather culottes by Missguided
  • Wear Boots.  Whatever height you want–ankle, calf, or knee.  These will help keep your legs warm while still giving you the volume effect of the culottes.
  • Keep your upper body warm with some structure.  A blazer, sweater, leather jacket
  • Dress them up with a crisp button down shirt.  Consider wearing a vest over it for some added warmth and structure.

They are everywhere this spring, and it looks like this trend will not be leaving us anytime soon.  Culottes may be intimidating, but really they are easy to wear, and oh so comfortable!  Here are a few tips on how to work them into your wardrobe.

I have a few pairs, including jean and pinstriped ones, but this pair is my favorite! I love the print! There are so many options, so starters, find a pair that has a look you feel flatters your body and your style.How to Wear Spring Fashion Trend Culotest

Tie up your shirt.  If you read my post on How to Wear Midi Skirts, you know one of my first pieces of advice for people who are stepping outside of their fashion comfort zone is to balance out your clothes.  Culottes are longer and looser, so balance it out by putting a knot in your shirt to make it shorter and more form fitting.  Here, I paired it with some amazing gladiator heels, which are pretty much a staple in my wardrobe.How to Wear Spring Fashion Trend Culotest

If you are bolder, another way to balance out your culottes is by pairing it with a crop top.  Yep, culottes almost beg to be worn this way!  Choose higher waisted culottes, so you only see a little skin for a classier look.  Here, I wore them with this amazing leather crop top for an edgier vibe.

Spring 2015 Fashion Trends

So here are my top 5 favorite spring fashion trends for 2015

1. The Shirtdresshttp-::www.glamour.com:images:fashion:2014:09:rebecca-minkoff-shirt-dress-spring-2015-h724

The shirtdress can be casual or dressed up, but I think it brings a sexy side to a classic button down.  As seen above, a cute belt can take that shirt dress from a sloppy sack to a fit and stylish outfit. I also love that the shirt dress above has slits that are not too risqué but make this tea length style easy to move in! And I just love a good strip pattern! Never be afraid to get something tailored either.  If you’re like me, the top of the shirt dress hangs limp and way too big in order to get one that fits over my much wider hips! So invest that extra couple of dollar into a tailor and be in fashion this season!

2. Bright Yellowhttp-::4.bp.blogspot.com:-qWFgnAc1emI:VCkG2W-isBI:AAAAAAAAKXQ:TpzG_e2NhMo:s1600:NYFW%2BCOLOR%2BTRENDS

Beautifully Fierce

I love YELLOW!  I’ve been wearing yellow for years, but it’s not a good color for everyone.  Don’t let that steer you away from yellow this season.  Simply pair a yellow pant or skirt with a white top and enjoy the fun yellow fashion trend.  You can also try adding a scarf to your yellow top to break the yellow between your face and shirt!

3. Culotteshttp-::cdn.fashionisers.com:wp-content:uploads:2014:10:spring_summer_2015_fashion_trends_wide_leg_pants_and_culottes_fashionisers

Although plenty of things are “in” this year, it looks like short is back! Short flowy culottes from the past are in. Showing off sexy ankles with strapy sandals or a great pair of heels, these floaty short pants are going to be HOT this season!

4. Head to Toe WhiteFrame-Denim-Spring-2015-w724 www.glamour.com

Glamour Magazine

I look out my window and all I can see is white, but somehow this head to toe white look makes me SUPER excited for spring.  It’s classy, it’s refreshing, and it’s easy! White and Yellow are in, crisp and classy for spring!

5. Army Green

Fashion Winter Summer

Who’s to say that army green isn’t amazing.  Green being one of my favorite colors, I love what Ralph Lauren did with this classic style and army green neutral!

It will be interesting to see what the population picks up on from spring fashion 2015. Although these were some of my favorites, I don’t always win in the general public fashion game!

Until next week, xoxo ~ Em
