Spring 2016 Trend Alert: Skirts

Spring 2016 is all about the skirts- updated textures, silhouettes and styles that will bring some much needed life to a worn out spring wardrobe. In the past it seems we haven't changed too much about our spring looks. It's been about the A-line skirts with different scale patterns and all the sheath dresses you can handle! It's boring and easy and there's nothing fashionable about boring & easy...

Enter, the updated styles of 2016 that will make you feel as though you have entered an all new and oh so fashionable realm of springtime style.

My new favorite silhouette is this take on the drop waist skirt that will both elongate the torso and give any outfit an air of futuristic sophistication.

With a little tailoring- these are sure to be a hit for Spring 2016 to show off your signature style. Whether it be a subtle nod to the trend or diving in with a color blocked masterpiece that shows you're fearless in the face of fashion-these looks are sure to turn some heads. I can't wait to work on my own take on these stunning designs!

Next up, all the gorgeous textures for the season! I'm never one to shy away from a good tulle skirt and I know these sweet styles will have you slipping on your ballet shoes soon too.

These skirts add a little whimsy to any outfit and are simple enough to work with all the basics in the closet. I adore the bow embellishment on the second look for an added girly touch and the texture on the black top adds another level to this stunner so don't be afraid to play! Mixing prints and textures together can be a harrowing task on your own so be sure to find some outfit inspiration and go for it- these skirts are the perfect starters to any playful outfit.

To round off my top 3 spring 2016 skirts, I have some gorgeous patterns! I know, I said just changing patterns is boring... and it is... unless you change up the silhouette as well!

With a little flare for the dramatic it's easy to take some great patterns to the next level. The watercolor-esque designs in the first two looks are perfect for spring with the flowers and the smeared paint look about them. They have that easy stylish vibe that is so hard to find in just one piece these days. Adding a truly gorgeous print to an exaggerated silhouette is the best way to vamp up your wardrobe after those drab winter days.

The length of these skirts is another great highlight- Midi is the new Mini! I love the modest length of the skirts for those cool spring days when you want to show off your girly side but also don't want to freeze! These lady-like looks are perfect additions to any wardrobe and are sire to make you look and feel effortlessly cool and stylish next Spring.
