Fashion changes faster than most people can keep up with.

Springtime is often when people debut new and inventive fashion
for the warming weather. Keep yourself ahead of the curve by
paying attention to designers, shopping early, and knowing the
basics of spring fashion.

1.
 1

Look through clothing catalogs. Sent in the mail almost every

week, these catalogs are put together by designers and artists
trying stay ahead of the curve, selling the right clothes for the right
season. Specifically, the catalogs that come out from January
through March are specifically tailored for Spring fashion.

2.

Look through fashion magazines to get fashion ideas.

Magazines like GQ, Vogue, and Cosmo are generally considered
"taste makers." They are in touch with the big clothing designers
and often feature reviews of runway shows.[1]

Buy the February or March issues for the best fashion advice if you
don't want to subscribe to the magazine. They will frequently do an
annual "Spring Fashion" primer.

3.

Explore social media. More and more often, people are using the
internet to broadcast their personal fashion recommendations,
which is a great way to get a pulse on spring fashion. Sites like
tumblr and Pintrest have specific sections devoted to fashion.

Travel blogs are a great place to see different trends that span the
globe.[2]

4.

Find your favorite fashion blogs. Many brands, designers, and

fashionistas post their inspiration online, as well as
recommendations on where to find the best new fashions. Search
"Spring Fashion Blogs" and browse through a few to see styles
your enjoy.

There are websites based around this idea such as ASOS Fashion
Finder or Polyvore that help you narrow down your search to only
see fashions you like.[3]

5.

Look to warmer areas for inspiration. If you've got friends in

Miami, they will experience spring fashion a lot faster than you
might in Chicago. Check out your friends' pictures or go online and
look up southern fashion blogs to get ahead of the game before the
snow melts.

6.

Make notes of fashions you see often. If you see 5 different

websites with large stripes on their dresses, you can be sure that
large stripes are trending. To keep ahead of the curve, make notes
about the fashion trends that keep popping up in different
magazines and sites.

Remember that when developing your own sense of style, that is

part of creating your identity. Trends come and go, but your style is
all yours and can be fun and expressive of who you are.[4]
7.

Make your own spring trends. Having confidence in yourself and

rocking your outfit is more important than following any trend. If you
still can't figure out what spring fashion trend to follow, find an outfit
you like and make up your own trend.

Feeling comfortable in your clothes is more important than following

any trend.

Be bright and bold with your colors. Spring is when the sun
comes back out and the flowers are in bloom, and spring fashion
follows nature. Bright colors like yellow, pink, green, and blue
usually burst onto the scene in spring.[5]

Pastels, which are soft but bright colors frequently found around
Easter, are good picks for spring fashion.

2.

Try out vibrant patterns, like stripes or floral designs. Floral

 prints are huge during the spring, but so are stripes and seersucker
for guys. A bold, stand-out pattern draws eyes to you and feels like
a breath of fresh air after the muted, subtle colors of winter.

3.

Show a little skin. Half the fun of warmer weather is getting to peal
off winter layers. Bare shoulders, shorts, and bare arms are all
signs that spring is on the way, and they frequently work their way
into spring fashion.

4.

Mix up your accessories. Flowers, straw hats, and bright jewelry

are big in the spring. While there are not a whole lot of specific
accessories that work, you should play around with combinations
that feel fun, sunny, and light.

5.

Keep it retro. Every season, a specific decade comes back around

to become the big fashion hit. For 2015, that decade is the 1970s,
so try incorporating some disco era into your outfit. Try out subtle
touches like big, retro lapels, bright color combos, denim, and big,
almost-but-not-quite bell bottoms.

I keep an eye out on anything from social media like Instagram to

magazines like those from Europe that will show you what's in
season for the whole year. What's on the catwalk isn't necessarily
what's on the streets, so I also like getting inspiration from travel
blogs, fashion blogs, and smaller designers Trends aren't as hyped
as they used to be because people are more into developing their
own personal styles, which is more permanent and empowering.
