The official start of spring 2026 is in just a few days on March 20, and we are so ready to embrace the new season and all of the warmth, sunshine and blooming flowers the season entails. Maybe most importantly, spring is a brand new season for fashion and new trends to fall in love with.
From lighter, breezier fabrics to softer colors and patterns and other fashionable looks that are about to take over, we’re all over spring style. Read on to discover the top fashions and how to wear them for spring 2026.
Tiered Layers
The weather’s been a bit unpredictable this year, to say the least, and as some of us experienced our state’s biggest snowstorm of the year just last week, it’s not time to put the warm layers away just yet. Lucky for us, stacks and tiers of layers will still be all the rage come spring, so we can keep warm and look on-trend. Wear what you like, then complement the look with coats, jackets, sweaters, bandanas, scarves and hats, so you can add or subtract from your wardrobe to keep up with the weather, and look amazing at every step.

Baby Pinks and Blues
There are two major colors we’ve seen emerge from the spring fashion season, and coincidentally, they’re both the “baby” versions of popular colors. Baby pink and baby blue are going to be everywhere over the next blue month, providing softness with delicate, powdery hues. You can dress them up or down any way you like, and you can even pair the two together if you’re feeling extra daring.

Super Dark Denim Washes
Jeans are truly never going to go out of style, but if you want to stay in the know this spring, stick to dark washes, like raw denim, known for its bold indigo color. Dark blue jeans give off a crisp, clean and even professional impression, and even more, they’ll make the other light spring colors in your ensemble pop in contrast. If you don’t want to budge from your current favorite pair of jeans, try layering with a dark denim jacket, instead.

Funnel Necked Outerwear
Here’s another look that’ll keep you nice and toasty until the sun actually decided to come out and warm things up. Funnel neck outerwear looks typically have a button or zipper, rising to cover the neck (or even more of the face) akin to a turtleneck. In addition to keeping the wind and chill out, they also create a bold look, with certain pieces looking especially flattering.

Long Pleated Skirts
Delicate pleats on a skirt are a springtime staple, but this year’s look is all about length. In addition to giving a flowy, feminine look, longer skirts also give the appearance of elongating the legs (and therefore the entire body) making the wearer look tall and elegant. Play with colors and patterns, and especially tops and shoes, and the possibilities are virtually endless.

Boat Shoes
The stores are packed with new boat shoe styles ahead of the spring season, and we’re delighted to see more styles and unique options than ever. With their rubber soles and canvas or leather construction, they’re destined for wear on a boat, made to withstand the elements, but their typically simple styles and comfort also make them just the thing for everyday use in the springtime.

Clutches
In many instances, less is more during the lighter, sunnier spring season, and that extends to handbags. There are time for big, bulky bags that can tote around everything but the kitchen sing, but we’ve been gravitating toward minimalism with cute clutches for the days that don’t call for more. Light colors and complementary colors will really tie your outfit together.

Eccentric Thrifted Pieces
But if you’re not one for minimalism, and instead want to make a big statement this season, we recommend hitting the thrift shops. You’re by no means guaranteed to find a new piece that will define your style for spring, but it doesn’t hurt to look around and try to get inspired. It can be anything from an eye-catching jewelry piece to an eccentric coat, unusual handbag or other accessory that screams you. After all, there’s nothing like rescuing forgotten treasures and making them your own.
