Spring Dressing: Trendy Tops

Now, if this trend-interpretation is too conservative, try blending four spring dressing trendsโ€”cutouts, saturated mint coloring, crochet, and halter necksโ€”in one gorgeous Ayni bikini top, available at Nordstrom. Even better? Thanks to this topโ€™s Peruvian pima cotton construction, the piece can double as swim wear or street wear, making up for the daring plunges and crops by adding thicker coverage where it counts.

Prefer to hit the Y2K trend hard? There are two great ways to do so. Try rocking a shirt tied at front, like this Karen Kane crochet tie front top. Once again, this style checks the boxes for two major spring dressing trends. Plus, its flowy silhouette and 100% rayon construction keep it light and comfortable, even on days when the temperature suddenly spikes.

With ever-shifting temperatures, spring outfits often go heavy on the bottomโ€”think jeans or leggingsโ€”and lighter on top. Thatโ€™s why itโ€™s easy to give any wardrobe a quick seasonal update by selecting some fresh new shirts and blouses.

For Spring 2022, showing some skin is seriously on trend. One way to do so is with cutout tops, like this pretty puff sleeve top from 1.State.ย  Of course, runway cutouts highlight far more daring, midriff baring cutouts. But a delicate key-hole cutout, balanced by full-length sleeves, is a great way to translate high-fashion concepts into extremely wearable street wear.

Another way to serve up 2000-era style vibes is with a sweet and flirty baby doll top. Try this English Factory style for a fresh take on this recycled trend. The pretty puffed and ruffled sleeves offer a smart seasonal update to last seasonโ€™s favorite silhouette. And the embroidered floral print adds a little something extra to the classic white palette.

Now to completely embrace the concept of crochet shirts & tops, and to score an ideal light-weight spring sweater, this AS BY DF Magnolia top is a must-have. The clean white coloring contrasts nicely with open-work stitching, creating a strikingly elegant effect that lends itself naturally to seasonal layering.

2022 Street Style Shoe Selections

Hybrid shoe styles seem to be a trend thatโ€™s not going anywhere, which is why this Sam Edelman platform slide is a great choice for a spring closet update.ย  Available in six different colors, each with pretty strap embellishments, these shoes are also a great way to show off this seasonโ€™s braided slides trend.

Want to try the chunky sandal trend. Take a hip-mom stance and grab the cool-again Birkenstock Arizona soft slide. Or, for a pair thatโ€™s a bit more feminine, these Sam Edelman Valeri slides still have just enough chunk to stay on trend.

Of course, to dive deep into girly territory, itโ€™s fun to add on lots of feminine details. While bows could be an obvious choice for extra detailing, adding pretty pearl finishes to a feminine silhouette is a slightly fresher option. Grab this Sam Edelman Bay slideโ€”it’s studded with imitation pearls, plus the straps are crocheted and constructed with geo cutouts, meaning it will pair perfectly with some of the top spring dressing trends. Or, for more muted femininity, think of foot wear as jewelry for the feet, and grab this pair of BP Serrefina Slides, embellished with gold-tone chain ornaments.

Top it All Off the Perfect Swimsuit Coverups

2022 street style trends play a major role in spring dressing. But, between spring break getaways and end-of-season pool dates, swimwearโ€”and coverupsโ€”are also style staples at this time of year. Some designers are all about matching coverup-and-swimsuit sets this seasonโ€”a natural extension of the coordinated athleisure sets that have ruled street style for the last little while.

At the same time, many people prefer a classic white cover up: it stands out against blue ocean-or-pool photo backdrops, and wonโ€™t look outdated a few years from now. Want to inject seasonal trends into this staple of spring dressing? Thatโ€™s easy: just transfer the major runway trends into coverup form.

Love the breezy, effortless look of an open front style? Try this Karen Kane crochet cotton cardigan, a piece that can swing seamlessly from the pool deck to the streetโ€”simply swap that bikini for jeans and a tank, and it’s an instant street wear makeover.

Prefer a bit more coverage? Run with the shirt tied at front trend, and slip on this Becca convertible coverup dress. Worn with the opening in front, this piece is the perfect piece for lounging poolside. But flip it to the back and all of a sudden, the dress is ideal for casual dinner and dancing.

Finally, for a Y2K play on todayโ€™s beachwear, extend that baby doll top into dress form, and cover up with this sweet Seafolly eyelet tiered dress. Feminine and floaty, this pullover style works just as well after a swim as it does for a spring picnic in the park or a sunny afternoon running errands around town.
