Spring’s Sartorial Landscape
We’ll be saying “spring has sprung” before you know it!
Just because the pandemic has forced the fashion industry into a corner, it does not mean we’ve stopped staying up-to-date with the latest fashion trends. Relevant to the current situation, the spring collections of most design houses this season went digital in the blink of an eye. We witnessed the fashion scene leaning more towards comfortable, chic, and elevated sweatpants to address our quarantine needs. Designers from across the globe also channelled fashion trends from previous seasons curating pieces that showcased spring-inspired evergreen trends. From playful prints to dressy casual style {as an ode to the 2000’s club-wear}, read on for the most relatable spring fashion trends of 2021.
*Then use my tropical table setting in the spring garden as motivation to update your wardrobe. Can you imagine being here for lunch? Wonderful!
I love the chrysalis for the spring season after being bundled up all winter and living in neutrals… perhaps I’ll blossom into something new!
One can say that fashion is taking a ‘seasons don’t matter’ approach. This is, of course, wonderful news for our wallets as well as our environment!
The Purity of White and the Grace of Pastels: One peek into the fashion world and even a novice can figure out that the calming hues of cream, ivory, whites, and pastel tones have been dominating this year. The desirability of this sorbet-inspired colour palette is due to its ability to cater to every skin tone out there while inspiring chirpy youthfulness, and that it visually represents a blank slate for the fashion set seeking a style shake-up. Dress up in delicate lavender wide-leg pants paired with innerwear in a fashionable mint-green, or tulle maxi dresses in soft and buttery hues to effortlessly enhance your overall aesthetic.
Fresh Florals: Keeping up with the spring vibes is what it’s all about this time of year, and nothing speaks spring better than nature-inspired breezy maxis or ruffled lace blouses or midi skirts with full volume. David Hockney, once said, “Don’t they know they can’t cancel spring?”, and that definitely has stuck with me. In my opinion, floral prints project a warm aura that helps you project a positive vibration while looking trendy. Think of this trend as your own spring garden full of blossoms that never wither!
Peek-a-Boo: It’s time to shed winter’s modest and dense layers to flaunt your skin in some peekaboo pieces. Wearing a full-length slip dress? Pair it with a sheer overlay. Or feel like a sex goddess in diaphanous underpinnings. Whatever the occasion, nothing can beat the dazzle of an unexpected bit of skin shown the right way. After all, a little sheer moment on a dramatic maxi dress may be just the statement piece spring calls for… So flaunt that skin and grab the limelight!
Head Scarves: History repeats itself, so does fashion. It’s time to make headscarves a thing again. For what could be better than this versatile accessory that both protects the hair and perfects your look?
Whether you tie a delicate silk scarf with intricate patterns under your chin to achieve instant elegance or under your chic ponytail for the wind to flirt with for that boho-chic look, headscarves are what they meant when they said, “there’s something for everyone.” Wrap it around your neck to elevate that simple tunic or use it to accessorise your bag to add a touch of colour, for headscarves are the way to go for all your fashion worries.
Pop Accessories: Add a dash of colour to your everyday style and make all heads turn your way. A yellow clutch or a patterned tote in eye-catching hues or a chic bucket hat in cotton candy pastel are all cases in point for the perfect pop accessory. Never again lament over repeating looks when you can mix and match your accessories to invent a whole new statement style of your own. Endless are the possibilities, so what are you waiting for?
To conclude: Nature has a lively sense of fashion, and spring is when it comes out. What better time to liven up your wardrobe with some vibrant hues and sleek accessories than now, when the cold and dearth of winter is replaced by new life and colours? I hope you enjoyed these amazing ways to add the touch of spring to your everyday wardrobe!
The prettiness never ends! I’d love to have you share your thoughts in the comments below!
Loving the perspective shift and positive energy, Tanya! So perfect for the weather we’ve been having… Cheers to a new week and a happy Monday!
Thank you so much for being present, Jayanthi. So glad you enjoyed it!
Love this, Tanya!
Many of us might be spending more time at home at the moment, in clothes which are comfortable, maybe even less formal, but it’s important for our wellbeing and mental health that we continue to make the effort to ensure we look and feel good, and have new relevance in our wardrobe.
Thank you so much for joining in and sharing your lovely thoughts, Vinita.
Love, love this ❤!
Like most people, I cannot wait for the moment when I am finally able to pack away dull winter clothing and replace it with lighter and a more colourful spring wardrobe. 🙂 Thank you for bringing some colour into my week!
You’re the best ~ always such a compliment from you, Fiona!
Ah – Monday certainly means the beginning of a week filled with possibilities! Your tips are not difficult to follow, and are definitely easy to implement right away!
My two cents ~ if feeling good and feeling yourself in what you wear is important to you, this is one of the most basic things you can do for your stylish self: have fun with your wardrobe! Experiment, re-connect, try out different combinations, play with styling, and get inspired. 🙂
That is sensitive of you, to resonate like this… Thank you, Anjali.
Floral, flattering, and just a touch flirty… Flowers are perfect for this season! ✨ I would like to add that often times colours like blush can be passive and weak, but they pair beautifully with so much!
On a side note: Love your blog & the concept of your IG is brilliant! Hope we can work together after COVID-19/20/21…
Thanks so much, Yuvarani. Means a lot that you like it!
Thank you for the great ideas, Tanya! ❤ I like seeing fresh content like this. From zesty citrus to bold blues, colour rules in spring fashion 2021!
On a side note: I could really do with a girly night out and a good dance. Think I might have to watch another episode of #satc and live vicariously through that. Roll on spring, easing of lockdown and reopening of schools and shops. I am ready!!
That makes me happy to hear, Preeti.
When it’s the beginning of new things in life… your wardrobe also needs to be refreshed. And, I find that spring makes it easier for us to play and experiment with colours. 🙂
I’m definitely a huge fan of your blog! The fashion and wellness advise, the pictures… ah, what’s not to love?! On that note, I’m looking forward to continuing to read about beautiful and functional styles!
Thank you so much for giving me the inspiration to give it a whirl again, Nitisha!
Time for a fashion pick me up! 🙂 Although not all of us can be outside like we want to, I love seeing all the flowers and greenery that’s emerging! Stay positive and healthy.
I’m happy to hear this, Rashmi. Thank you!
Great composition… So on-point! ❤️
I have been busy preparing for the coming season, and am very excited about the new, hot trends that are coming my way! On that note, your #selfconfidence and beauty make an impact and inspire each of us, Tanya!
Oh, so sweet! Thank you very much, Neena.
Couldn’t be more obsessed with your style blogs! Thank you so much for sharing.
By the way, who else still likes getting dressed up sometimes even if you’re just staying home?! It just makes me feel happy, and lets me at least get a little wear out of my clothes… lol!!
Aww, that’s so kind, Vishakha. I appreciate it so much!
Ahh ~ love your blog and a big “yes” to your tips! Also, this year I would like to try to purchase more from sustainable brands but still restyle the clothes I already have. 🙂
By the way, the way you dress is my dream style! How is it that you’re not a professional stylist at this point?!? It makes no sense. 😀 Keep sharing amazing content!
Means the world coming from you, Latha. Thank you so very much!
You amaze me every time, girl! ❤️ Just so you know ~ loving fashion allows me to be creative; artistic if you will!
Now, I would like to add a point as well. When you purchase classic items, you can always reinvent by what you choose to pair with them! Let’s make getting dressed a pleasurable experience!
You’re an incredibly thoughtful person! Have a beautiful day, Amana.
Bye winter, hello spring! We’re in the season where some days the weather isn’t too hot yet! So, it’s great to use your fall coats and turn them into a spring look with sweet shorts and crop tops. My advice: Take time to play with colours and shapes to find what looks great on your unique body.
Thank you so much for stopping by, Shruti. Hope you’re well.
Thank you so much for this brilliant post, Tanya! It is good to be reminded of what we really need to focus on. And, I appreciate that you spend time understanding the current trends to make sure that you focus on what’s important to showcase. ✨✨✨
Thank you for resonating with this and your warm appreciation, Mitali.
As always, fabulous tips! Great style certainly starts with knowing what styles and colours suit you, and how to coordinate them.
On that note: Remember that it’s about the conscious women… the majestic empress. Clothes just turn up the volume!
Thank you for the advice, Harsha. I/we will keep that in mind.
Spring style always makes me think ‘feminine’… And after being bundled up all winter and living in neutrals, I love all the pretty pastels and ruffle and lace details that are out! With this said, what about creating an outfit that will copy the loveliness and beauty of the sunshine or sunset? 🙂
I’m so glad you resonate with this, Kapila. Thank you very much indeed!
Beautifully done, Tanya! I’m so ready for warm weather! ❤️
Tip of the day: Invest in a good quality white linen shirt as one of your staples.
Thank you for adding to my post, Kalyani. Nice of you.
Love this! Effortless Spring wardrobe solutions for women who love celebrating life’s marvellous moments and believe each celebration deserves an effortless look! Thank you!
On a side note, when shopping for spring wardrobe staples, maxi dresses are at the top of my list. They are just sooooo easy! :)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s kind of you, Akshatha. Thank you so much!
This post is so full of warmth, enthusiasm, and creativity! I look forward to your bringing us more fashion-forward content… This is only the beginning, I’m sure. 🙂
Such a wonderful thing to say, Shubham. Thank you very much!
Loving your top style tips on what to wear for spring, Tanya! A new season means new outfits, and I couldn’t be more excited about that. Of course, the trick to putting a stylish spring outfit together is starting out with chic basics, and then updating your style for the season. 🙂
Thank you, Snigdha. So happy to hear this from stylish you!
From mixing prints to tastefully showing a sliver of the stomach, your post guarantees I’ll pick up a few pointers on how to create outfits that are both impactful and stylish this spring… Well, knowledge is power, and with this trend guide, I’ll be the most fashionable dresser in my friends’ circle – ha!
Thanks so much sweet soul! Glad to be of help.
Love your one-of-a-kind sartorial sense, Tanya! ✨ Aside from welcoming sunnier days, one of the most exciting things about prepping for spring is updating your wardrobe; and if the Spring 2021 fashion trends are any indication, the warm-weather season is already off to a very good start…
Thank you very much, Kalyani. So kind of you!
Omggg – I need to step up my #springfashion game!
Deciphering which looks to shop among all the new offerings can be a daunting task, so I’m certainly glad to have your help in breaking down the need-to-know Spring 2021 trends ahead. 🙂
Oh, thank you so much, Avinash! So sweet of you.
Love your no-fail guide to spring style! ✨✨✨ It kinda brings a smile on çuz I now know that my appearance is going to be out of the ordinary!
Thank you, Aanchal. So glad you like the post!
Great recommendations! I keep things interesting by experimenting with accessories. For e.g., Gold sandals and a soft pink clutch will create a cool tonal mix against all-white clothes, without taking away from the clean colour palette. 🙂
Thank you so much, Dipti! Lots more coming over this year…
Your fashion posts are my fave, Tanya! I find myself always relating and taking so much from your tips! Thanks for sparing the time to curate this gem! ❤️
So very flattered by your comment, Kainat.
