Spring is right around the corner, and that means soon, spring event season will be in full swing. From weddings to baby showers, luncheons to graduations, cocktail parties to black tie bashes, this is the time when our social calendars start to pick up again following the post-holiday slump.
Whether you are looking for some unforgettable statement pieces or staples you can mix and match for more versatility, there is truly something for every woman this spring. Neutrals and tailoring share space with dopamine dressing and cheerful prints, so you can find the perfect look to suit any occasion.
Wherever you’re headed this season, there are some key trends and styles to look for that can help get you through any event in style.
- Sparkle & Shine: No, this isn’t the name of a car wash. Instead, it’s a key trend for spring 2023. Shiny fabrics from glossy satins to liquid metal lame are turning up on everything from party tops to pencil skirts, cocktail dresses to jumpsuits. While silver is the metal of the year, gold also has a significant presence this season. Sequins add further sparkle to party ensembles.
- Goddess Vibes: From asymmetrical angles to gathered gowns, single shoulder styles to off-the-shoulder frills, there is an emphasis on dramatic, feminine dresses this season at every length, from the very short to the maxi.
- Feeling Blue: Magenta is the color of the year, and we do see it everywhere, but when it comes to fashion, we will see as much cobalt and acid green this year as anything else. These bold and dynamic colors can make even the simplest dress feel special enough for a party.
- Jump To It: For those who don’t love their legs, or for a fun alternative to a dress, jumpsuits continue to trend this year, with options in lame, velvet, and sequins as well as simpler style. Either way, they offer a welcome alternative for those times when you don’t want to don a dress.
- Cool Crochet: Boho style is always trending to varying degrees, but this season, we’re seeing full crocheted dresses as well as separates, denim maxi skirts, big bags, and other boho-friendly styles in stores.
