Spring’s in full swing again, and the Hershey community is reveling in the warm weather. With it comes shorts, sandals, and sunglasses. Take a peek at some of the fresh new looks you should expect this season. From repeat trends to reinvented looks, The Broadcaster spots it all. Stick with us as we track this year’s trends and give you all the insider tips.

Jean in every form.

Jean isn’t just for your pants anymore, and no, it’s not reserved for jean jackets either. The lighter jean material looks great for simple dresses and flowy shirts. Don’t be afraid to layer with varied color tones. Try a pair of light washed jeans with a simple t-shirt topped with a dark jean flannel.

Chic patterns.

Who says that shirts dotted with little bicycles or flowing with birds are just for children? It’s perfectly stylish to show off your flamboyant side with some adventurous patterns. Pair these patterns with a solid color to bring out the details. You can also dress them up with some bold yet plain statement jewelry. For a bold statement, don’t be afraid to mix patterns. Try a dress with a whimsical pattern and pair it with a more simple patterned jacket.

Flowery details.

Yes, it’s springtime, and the flowers are out. While there’s nothing wrong with a plain, simple style, why not embellish with a little floral detail? Try a flowy bohemian style blouse with just enough details to add something a little sweet to your outfit. You can even contrast this look with solid colored bottoms.

Earth tones.

Subtle earth tones are the new spring colors. Anything from a terra cotta red to an olive green will compliment every skin tone and give you a sharp, clean appearance. You can mix and match these colors together or pair them with a solid dark base such as dark jeans or black pants.  

Scrunchies are back!

Yep, that’s right. This hair staple from the 80s is back again and more popular than ever. Featuring every possible style and color, this hair accessory adds just enough style while being an integral tool. Don’t be afraid to pull out old scrunchies from your mom’s college days or find them in any popular store.

Sandals are out.

From strappy flips to classic Birkenstocks, everyone is wearing sandals this season. For comfort and style, pick up a pair of Birkenstocks varying from flip flops to the thick classic bands. These shoes are a spring staple and come in every color imaginable from a classic brown leather to an eye popping yellow. For something a little more dressy, try a simple colorful flip flop with some sort of embellishment such as gems, a solid metal piece, or even a single flower.

Joggers are the new leggings.

Stylish yet comfy, these airy pants featured in every color and pattern imaginable and synched with elastic at both the waist and the ankles are making a statement. Style it your way! Dress the look down with a simple t-shirt and sneakers. Choose a plain solid tee, your favorite statement sweatshirt, or a cozy sweater, and top it off with a platform sneaker such as an Ecco or Adidas. Convert your outfit into the perfect look for going out with a bold pair of heels or platform sandals. Pair with a classy top, perhaps embellished with pearls or just a little bling.

Chokers.

Ditch the classic necklaces for something a little more unique. Chokers provide a little extra something to your outfit without overpowering your combo. They come in anything from black velvet to a an upscale look with gems. These are available at all of your favorite retailers: J.Crew, Forever 21, and Francesca’s.
