This weekend was absolutely gorgeous with moments of sunshine and warmer temps!
The flash of brightness signaled it was high time to start preparing for Spring (even though Mother Nature continues to play us!). Lucky you, I’ve provided the top runway trends you should look out for.
Take a look:
1. Pastels
 As seen at: Etro, Carven, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Burberry, Versace, Balmain, Miu Miu.

 How to Wear it:
 Kim Kardashian striking in pink
Go monochromatic in one tone, or mix it up for Easter Sunday chic. For added pop, incorporate a soft colored mani.

2. Crop Tops

As seen at: Michael Kors, Peter Som, Cushnie et Ochs, Proenza Schouler, Alice + Olivia.

 How to Wear it:

 Beyonce-Tumblr-Topshop-Cropped-Metallic-Top-Rose-Gold-Mini-Skirt
This look can actually work for several different body types, believe it or not. Whether you’re curvy or slim, the best way to rock a crop might be with a high waisted skirt or pair of pants, drawing attention to your smallest part. But, if you have the body to pull off low slung trousers, by all means, go for it!

3. All White Everything

As seen at: Balenciaga, Tracy Reese, Roberto Cavalli, Rodarte, Michael Kors, Chanel, Cushnie et Ochs, Calvin Klein.

 How to Wear it:
 Karrueche Tran's Intagram Kardashian Kollection String Crop Top and Midi Skirt
This trend is really open to interpretation! Slip on an all white suit, or go with the popular crop top and pencil skirt combo, spied on legions of starlets. Your whites should be bright and crisp, so consider buying them brand new–but don’t spend too much! With one false move, the look can be ruined.

4. Peek-a-Boo Fabrics
 OK! Magazine Pre-GRAMMY Party - Arrivals

 How to Wear it:
 3 Draya Michele's De Cordon Black Lace Temptress Dress and Christian Louboutin Djalouzi Perspex and Silver Pumps
Get ready to show off your skivvies! Because your undergarments will be on display, you should probably opt for bra and panty sets with more coverage. Think boy shorts, full coverage bras, or even full on bodysuits.
