No matter what year it is, you will always find more than a few "pretty" trends when the spring collections make their debut, and S/S 23 is no exception. Fashion feels especially fancy in this post-sweatpants era we're living in, and anything shiny, fun, and eye-catching goes.
As you know, the easiest way to style almost any trend is with jeans, and that's exactly what we see people doing with the six trends we're highlighting below. Sure, these undeniably pretty trends can be dressed up, but most of us will want to make them work for everyday wear, and the way to do that is with jeans. Plus, the runway styling proved that these trends will look especially cool when paired with denim.
