Not all trends are created equal. Every season new trends emerge, the challenge is deciphering which are worth incorporating into your wardrobe and which are best left in the stores. Luckily, this season is full of flattering trends that are easy on the eyes and even easier to wear! From citrus orange hues to cues from the seventies, here are the top 5 trends to rock this spring.

Bold Color

Think simple shift dresses in primary colors. Fetching shades of red, blue, yellow and orange will be all the rage this spring. Don’t shy away from mixing and matching bright solid colors this season for a fresh, youthful look. Pairing a simple turquoise blouse with an electric blue skirt is a darling way to welcome spring. Chances are you have a few great pieces in your wardrobe that you never thought of pairing together. Take some time to play dress up with some of your lesser worn colored pieces and discover new ways to incorporate them into your everyday wear.

Prints Please

When you’re not mixing and matching eye catching solid hues, dive into delectable prints for the spring. Designers are becoming exceedingly creative in their textile designs. Rag & Bone designer Marcus Wainwright blew up and distorted a photo he took while on vacation to create the unique staple print for the spring collection.

Mixing and matching prints is also a huge trend. Designers from Diane von Furstenberg to Gwen Stefani piled on the prints for eclectic looks this season. There’s a fine line between being eclectic and overdoing it when mixing patterns. Remember to stick to one or two colors when mixing different prints to avoid looking helter-skelter. From feminine florals to ethnic ikats, prints add a little something extra to an already flattering silhouette.

Stark White

Calvin Klein, Alexander Wang, Carolina Herrera and Michael Kors all played into the hottest color trend for spring 2011, stark white! Crisp, clean and minimal, head to toe white is probably the biggest spring trend this year. Start off with a classic white button down and build upon this staple. Wear it beneath a tailored white suit for a striking monochromatic look punched up with bright accessories or make it prim and proper with a full, knee length skirt, another great trend this season.

Seventies Chic

Relaxed peasant blouses, high waisted wide leg trousers, funky prints and cinched waists all herald the return of seventies chic in the year 2011. If you tossed out your seventies garb years ago, raid vintage stores to don this trend on the cheap. Pack up those skinny jeans and store them in the attic, this spring is all about the high waisted, wide leg trouser. More grown up and refined than their skinny leg predecessor, wear them with your blouse tucked in, chunky heels and a bright thin belt to look long and lean. Slinky, satin dresses perfect for evening weddings and cocktail parties are also a great seventies look making a strong comeback. Keep these sexy little numbers classy by choosing refined jeweled hues such as sapphire, gunmetal, and emerald.

Nightcap

How often do you have those days when you wish you could spend the entire day in your pajamas? Well apparently designers have those days too! This spring, uber comfortable, relaxed glorified pajama looks are hot. This trend is best broken up rather than worn head to toe. Pairing a structured blouse with relaxed, satin printed, drawstring trousers keeps you on trend without looking like you literally just crawled out of bed.

Spring is all about looking pretty and smiling in relaxed, comfortable clothes and punchy colors.
