Is it just us, or are you feeling over the moon about spring's incoming trends? They're so major (and so fun) that we actually don't even know where to start. Head-to-toe pastels, you say? We're game. White mules with a sculptural heel? Hand 'em over. So we started compiling a list to help us—and you—keep track of them all. The result? Five fresh trends that'll soon be everywhere, plus outfit inspiration to match. Now if we could only find a way to make the snow and frigid temperatures melt away already…

Modern Prep

Polo shirts: so hot right now. We're feeling this modern take on retro style staples—grab a pair of cat-eye sunglasses, and make sure at least one pastel polo occupies a spot in your closet. Complete the look with white Kenneth Cole mules, dark denim flares, and a basket bag in your favorite candy-coated hue.

Pastel Suiting

On that note, name a trend that's bigger than pastels this season—we'll wait. Ice cream tones are taking over our wardrobes, from mint chip to banana walnut. To keep the look feeling modern (read: not too Easter egg), incorporate bright whites and pops of bolder colors—these Kenneth Cole sneakers bring it all together.

Wicker Details

The perfect spring weekend requires the perfect outfit to match. We're talking a pop of color by way of bright platform sandals, a printed scarf, and, of course, a wicker bag. This combination of textures makes for a modern spring weekend uniform that'll take you from a day of shopping to dinner with friends.

Satin Slides

We're going to get ultra-specific here: Have you ever needed navy satin slides more than you need them right this second? This Kenneth Cole pair makes any outfit feel effortlessly dressy, even if said look involves denim. Add accessories with silver-tone hardware—a crossbody or a statement-making ring, perhaps—for a look that feels polished, stylish, and perfect for date night.

Updated Classics

Still loving all manner of gingham and checks? Same. This season, we're seeing classic heritage prints return in the form of modern midi-length skirts. Heading to a dinner party? Wear this look with a pair of stud-embellished slides to give you that cool-artsy-aunt vibe.

While she does love writing her fair share of fashion stories, her heart really belongs in the brainstorm room, where she has fun strategizing different ways to create content with our fashion partners so that you engage with the brands you know and love. Her style tends to be more classic (she loves a good black-and-white look with gold accessories), and white pumps are kind of her thing. If she had to pick one person's wardrobe to raid, it would be Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's, and she also has a major obsession with interior design. She's a mom to a 1-year-old baby girl named Sophie, and she fully plans on training her to spot fashion trends by the time she's 10. That's all!
