The Best Spring 2023 Fashion Trends, According To The Fashion Experts

As soon as the warm spring weather rolls around, we rush to swap out our bulky winter wardrobes for the light, airy pieces we’ve been saving for months. The thought of lightening our own weight is exciting enough, but we’re also looking forward to reassessing our collection and incorporating the best of spring’s fashion trends into our wardrobes. For spring 2023, there’s a lot that could be added.

Just like any other season, spring fashion comes with its own signature — maxi skirts and tank tops, flowy blouses, and light-wash denim — and there are only so many combinations you can create with the same cut year after year. As a result, putting together a spring outfit that feels fresh can be a daunting task, especially when there are so many amazing looks being showcased on the runway, on the red carpet, and highlighted on Instagram.

Luckily, from balletcore to the comeback of grunge and other Y2K fashion trends like long denim skirts and colorful tights, we’re not short on options – leaving us wondering where to begin. So we asked three stylists to narrow down the list and share their top picks for spring fashion trends to wear in 2023.

Sculpted Bags That Make a Simple Statement

Under the accessories category, CEO and founder Caitlin Jaymes Organizing & StylingCaitlyn Jaymes honed a sculptural bag that’s simple enough to be considered versatile but still makes a statement.

“[For everyday use]I would buy it in camel, ivory, or, if I wanted a choice of colors, I would buy pale green or pale yellow,” he said. InStyle. The style maven goes on to say that she could style a staple item any number of ways, but for a casual look, something along the lines of “straight-leg jeans, a light knit cardigan, and white sleek sneakers” would be her go-to. go to. For more dressy occasions, she told the dot com that she will likely “pair a long satin slip skirt with a white ribbed tank and pointed-toe cat heels.”

All Pastels

Pastels are a classic (albeit a bit of a cliché) for spring, but they often get a bad rap for feeling a little cheap. Personal hairdresser Allie McKenna here to tell you they are not.

“I love colors, especially lilacs, pale yellows, and light blues. I can’t wait to wear a light blue midi skirt and silk cami with some bold, colorful jewelry. I will always choose shoes that are flashy too, so a pair of funky 3-inch heels that complete the outfit is a must too.”

Denim-On-Denim

The second most anticipated McKenna fashion trend for spring 2023 is the return of the Canadian tuxedo.

“To be honest, I’ve always loved this trend and I’m glad to see it back into the mainstream. I can’t wait to wear a denim maxi skirt, matching denim corset top, and some chunky platforms with my boyfriend this spring.

More Maxi Skirt Moments

Fashion expert and stylist Naina Singla telling you InStyle that if you’re going to invest in something new this spring, let it be a maxi skirt that stands out. “They’re a versatile wardrobe staple that’s worth investing in and perfect for every season,” Singla gushed by email. Plus, with Y2K’s surge in fashion influence, Singla says long maxi styles with skirts are just the thing.

“Maxi skirts are a cut that easily goes from day to night and come in a variety of styles,” she explains. “Right now, we’re looking at denim, satin slip skirts, and full-length knit skirts.”

Slip-On Platforms

Although the platform slip-ons you know and love from the 2000s have been in style for a while now (thanks in part to the resurgence of Lizzie McGuire), personal stylist and image consultant Andie Sobrato tells InStyle Nostalgic footwear will be hugely popular for spring 2023, with a wide selection of bold and patterned pairs to choose from.

“I’m excited to wear daisies, polka dots, or bright platforms with cropped jeans and a button-down shirt,” Sobrato said by email. These fun, relaxed shoes will stand out from any outfit and bring out the youthful energy we all need.”

More Mesh

Another Y2K-esque fashion statement to make this spring: Mesh.

“In particular, a long-sleeved mesh top or bodycon dress,” says Sobrato InStyle. “These mesh dresses and tops can be in solid, bright colors or feature bold prints and are the perfect way to add texture and dimension to your wardrobe; they show enough skin to be sexy but hidden enough to leave a mystery.
