So, from a ladies puff sleeve shirt to a smart swing dress or mini dress with flowers, the must have spring 22 trends areย easy, breezy and very girly. And some of the best styles are available here, in this curated, shoppable roundup.
Spring 2022 Trends: The Perfect Feminine Top
Flirty silhouettes will be everything for this seasonโs new, must-have tops. As the season begins, and temperatures fluctuate between arctic and perfect, a lady-like sweatshirt is the perfect piece to pair with light wash denim skinnies like this distressed, mid-rise style from Walmart.
In late March and early April, this ladies puff sleeve sweatshirt, also from Walmart, will hit all the right style and temperature notes. Not into matching, or prefer a little less volume and a little more ruffle on top? Swap out the sweatshirt for this floral-printed, Free Assembly womenโs ruffle sleeve top and hit two key Spring 22 trends.
Finally, as temperatures riseโalong with formality levelsโit will be all about this Allegra K polka-dotted ladies puff sleeve short.ย To dress down this pretty polyester top, pair with dark-wash jeans and a cute pair of slides. Or, for dressier occasions, switch to black pants or a sweet little skirt. Then add a killer pair of Spring sandals, like these silver Alevi Milano mules, and the ultimate high-low mix is complete.
Mini Dresses for Days
When the weather comes up, so do hemlines, which is why mini dresses fill the ranks of spring 22 trends. Need a day-to-night mini dress that seamlessly goes from office to dinner dates? The key here is to choose styles with plenty of coverage up top, helping balance out the hint of skin above the knees. Consider colors, as well: a strong neutral, like this dune-colored Ulla Johnson pleated mini dress, leaves room for bold accessories after work hours, while avoiding bold prints that donโt jibe with a business-casual dress code.
Now, when an office visit isnโt anywhere on the calendar, thatโs the time to rock a mini dress with flowers in the print. This Allegra K boho floral mini dress adds a flattering function thanks to the pretty belted waistline. Paired with this open-toed tan mule from Brinley Co., itโs the perfect look for a spring date night. Or, for a day filled with errands, lose the heel and opt for these awesome Time and Tru platform footbed espadrilles instead. Serving up the exact right amount of mom-on-the-go style, their blend of comfort and street-style provide a nice counterbalance to this hyper-feminine dress.
Find a Smart Swing Dress
Looking for an alternative to a fitted mini dress? Consider exploring a smart swing dress, the Spring 2022 trend that is almost universally flattering. But what is a swing dress? This silhouette refers to pieces with flowy, A-line shapes that hug your chest instead of your hips or waist.
Now, because the A-line begins at the bra-line, this style of dress has plenty of movement. In fact, it may swing pleasantly, even during slow strollsโhence the name. More importantly, it highlights a pretty dรฉcolletage while camouflaging everything below that line. In other words, itโs a style that works for almost every body shape, and could even double as early maternity wear!
Not sure what to look for in a swing dress? There are so many great takes on this easy, breezy style. For super casual occasions, choose a swinging T-shirt dress, like this go-anywhere style from Scoop. Want to make a more vivid impression? Loose the sleeves, amp up the volume on print and add special details like the ruffle hemline on this Bedwina loose swing dress. Or throw out the trendy play book and go for a classically elegant A-line gownโin a vivid pink thatโs perfect for the seasonโwith this uber elegant micro-jersey, open-backed swing dress from Susana Monaco.
Get On Board with Accessories
Spring 22 trends make for great purchases because they arenโt too trendy. Instead, this seasonโs top buys offer minor twists on closet staples, meaning theyโll still be ready to wear for Spring 2023. Still, for those who want to add some fun statement pieces to this seasonโs wardrobeโfear not. Because the trendiest spring accessories will make a major impression.
The first way to introduce play to this Springโs wardrobe? Try a flirty, fringed bag. For day or night, this macrame-and-leather blended mini bag from Petit Kouraj would add instant visual interest to a basic look. Style with a simple pastel shift, jeans and a top, or an evening gown, add simple heels or slides and head out the door.
Looking for a set of statement earrings? This season, the link-trend continues, but the style gets a Spring friendly update by shifting from metal tones to a pastel palette. For an easy, affordable take on this here-to-stay trend, try these 14K gold-plated blue link Scoop earrings. Or, for a slightly larger investment, opt for these Deepa Gurnani crystal-embellished link earrings in a goes-with-everything champagne, and get ready to rock them well into summer.
Finally, as Springing forward means many more daylight hours, this is also the season to upgrade that sunglasses collection. A classic cat-eye pair will never go out of styleโespecially when the frames come in tortoiseshell, the consummate sunglasses neutral palette. So this mid-sized Scoop pair is a great purchase any time of year, and even offers 100% UVA and UVB protection, along with a scratch-resistant coating.
Still, spring is a season of lightness and color. As such, itโs the one time of year when itโs really ok to ditch the basic blacks-and-browns in favor of lighter hues.
Now, for those whose LBD is a ride-or-die favoriteโnever fear. The easiest way to introduce color to a seasonal wardrobe is with a lovely topper like this pretty pink raffia wide-brim from Lolaโs Hats. Not only will it add a dose of effortless chic to any outfit, it will also bump up the UV protection when that sun finally decides to shine!
