If there's any single item I could suggest you try out this season, it's a maxi skirt. Floor-length hemlines have been trending for a minute now, and spring 2023 is when they're really going to peak. Try swapping one out for your typical jeans or trousers for a fresh feel.

Adding a pop of metallic is like turbocharging your outfits to another level. A silver bag or shoes just adds that It factor to really anything but plays especially well with toned-down basics.

With all things '90s and early '00s having a big resurgence, it's no surprise that one major silhouette of the era—strapless dresses—would be too. The versions bubbling up today, though, are much more refined and minimalistic.

We've been yammering on about the rosette trend for months now, but with pretty new versions emerging left and right, you can't really blame us. Whether you add a flower choker to your outfit or wear them embroidered onto a top, spring '23 is when this trend will be fully in bloom.

Shades of periwinkle, lavender, mint, and light pink flooded the runways in what I'm describing as the new era of pastels. I'm especially keen on trying this trend, as I just know it will play well with my wardrobe of classic neutrals.

This spring, "naked" dressing is all about gauzy, sheer fabrics that are ideal for layering. Try a semisheer top or take a bolder approach with a slightly see-through skirt.
