1.Color block

Colour is everywhere, bright neon, primary colors, and bold pinks and oranges. If you are nervous about being so bold, choose a patterned fabric or a bag or shoe that adds that stylish splash of color that brings you up to date.
2.Polka Dots
Polka dots have passed in and out of fashion for decades, but this season they are bigger and bolder than ever, and celebrities and designers have snuck them into their outfits in a subtle way. Wear the spots big and bright and wear them on dresses, bags or jumpers. There is no need to hide the spots in tiny form, bold is good in a season riddled with neon, animal print, and fringing. So, go bold with your polka dots and choose bold, bright colors or channel a Kardashian in neon pink or yellow. You can choose a matching top and bottom in polka dots and use the items separately with contrasting pieces. This works beautifully with a top and skirt which can be worn with a thick belt as a dress, or separately with jeans or a nipped in blouse. Have fun with your spots this season and be creative.
4.Stripes
Be bold with stripes and wear them vertically for a flattering silhouette. Long dresses are bang on trend this season and are easy to wear. They are adaptable to most figures and the variety of colors means they flatter any skin tone or hair color. Link into the trend for long dresses with pleats and mix that with a stripy fabric to be achingly on trend. Invest in a statement stripy suit if you are keen on a more formal look and accessorize with bold colored or pastel accessories to mix up the look. Or, if you are less bold, invest in a good quality stripy shirt. Be brave with your color choices and go for primary colors which can be matched with a shoe in a similar tone, or accessories that match your stripe. The Times even suggests we wear the stripy trend on shoes and bags, and this can be an economical way to bring your wardrobe up to speed this season.
5. Pastel shades particularly pink
Spring is here and pastels and florals are out in force. Every year we emerge from the neutrally toned winter, desperate to get our pastels out and willing the weather to warm up so we can show them off, reminds Cindys Garden.. Whether it be a splash of pastel on our gym apparel or a floaty chiffon dress, we love our pastels and pink is a perennial favorite in the garden and in our wardrobes. However, pastels can be a little unforgiving on problem body parts. This is where we dress cleverly and mix the soft shades with dark flashes of navy or grey. A flash of lace will enhance the pastel look and is bang on trend, so dress with confidence in pastel tones with lace embellishments. Don’t ignore your accessories where pastels are concerned. A pastel shoe or bag can lift an outfit into a spring classic.
6.Long dress with some pleating
A long dress is a must-have piece to add to our wardrobe and is a great addition to this season’s wardrobe. It can be dressed up with a jacket, dressed down with a cardigan and covered up with a sloppy jumper. If you want to make your dress a statement for this season, choose a dress with some pleated detail, particularly from the waist down. This gives a lovely silhouette to the ensemble and is forgiving for those who struggle with weight around the hips.
Choose a darker color if you are larger in the hip department or invest in a vertical stripe to guide the eye downwards and create a slimmer impression. If you have a figure worth showing off, invest in a flimsy pastel fabric or bold color which will draw the eye to your enviable outline.
This season we can have fun and be creative with our wardrobes. We can go bold with bright colors, or add more demure with a pastel piece. However, we can mix up our muted colors with spots and stripes to keep up to date or even just choose a dress in the latest style in a pleated fabric that floats and moves with your body and makes you feel fabulous.
