We’ve all heard the term “dress well, test well,” but sometimes dressing well on a budget isn’t always easy! We’ll break down the hottest college fashion trends this spring that won’t break the bank!

Anorak Jackets

Anorak jackets are a perfect spring staple! Try a neutral color like olive green, tan or black, or to go bolder, opt for blues or oranges! These jackets won’t wear out easily, so luckily they’ll be able to last for a few seasons.

Bright and Bold Colors

Pastels

Not looking to go bold yet? Great news ladies, pastels are also in! Fashion experts are predicting lavender to be a hot color this season. This is a trend that will never go out of style!

Transparency

Looking for the perfect going out top? Sheer fabrics are in this season! Wear over a bralette, or look for leggings with transparent/sheer blocks in them for a comfy study sesh. Sequins Glitter isn’t just for New Year’s Eve! Grab a sparkly top for going out with your girlfriends, or some subtle embellishments for an in class look. Fringe All fringe everything! This spring, you’ll find fringe on purses, jackets, jeans, even bathing suits. A cute leather jacket with some fringe is the perfect going out attire, or some cute fringe jeans are perfect to wear in class. Lavender Lavender was seen all over the runway in fall of 2017, and now, you can take it straight to your closet! Try a lavender shift dress for a night out, or jacket for those colder days! Athleisure Wear Popularized by Fenty x Puma by Rihanna, try some athletic wear but with a more retro flare this summer! Go for bold colors this season, like lime green or electric blue.
