The 3 Simple Style Trends To Try This Spring

As we begin to get older, we start wanting to buy less and choose simple items that have a longer shelf life than just a few months. But that doesn’t mean to say we don’t often get tempted by the maximalists out there, who often flout their shiny new goods as each season changes. Which makes us wonder...is there a minimalist middle ground?

As an aesthetic minimalism is one that has simmered beneath the surface for decades, from the 90s to early 00s Celine, it’s proved to be a trend that transcends generations. Over the last few months, it has become clear that minimalism is having another moment in the spotlight, with a new crop of designers mix-and-matching clean-cut apparel and timeless silhouettes with more brazen pieces. Minimalism, but not as you know it, below we list the new ways to pioneer simple style.

Chunky Gold Chains

If you buy one piece of jewellery this spring, make it a gold chain. An unlikely style icon, we first noticed this trend in Bruno Mars’ "24k Magic", where he was seen donning a thick gold necklace. Now a must-have accessory, chunky gold necklaces have been spotted on the streets of every fashion week. For an immediately luxe look, copy fashion girls and layer a gold chain with simple separates.

不規則領口 Irregular Necklines

Proving that being minimalist, doesn’t mean being boring, this spring fashion girls are upgrading their basics with décolletage-exposing necklines. Closet staples such as sweaters, shirts and vests are all being reinvented with cut-outs and irregular necklines that are unique but polished.

Moving away from monograms and logos, understated handbags are having a moment. Whether it be bucket bags, crossbodies, top handles or totes, it seems influencers and editors are choosing to invest in understated purses that make a big impact. Focusing on oversized, distinctive shapes, some of our favourite designers like Moschino and Bottega Veneta have launched ultra-large handbags to ensure their pieces stand out from the crowd.

西裝 x 短褲 Short Suits

Suits are as timeless as they come, but this year short suits, in particular, are set to become summer’s biggest trend. The pinnacle of 90s style, Bermuda shorts are a fresh update on the summer suit with trousers being ditched in favour of this warm-weather alternative. From leather to linen or coral, this key trans-seasonal piece offers plenty of ways to layer and mix-and-match your look.
