Whether you're from the Northeast, dreaming of the days without snow, or from the West Coast, already kicking it in your flip flops - spring is finally here! It's the season to clean, fall in love, pack away your sweaters and revamp your spring wardrobe. Spring's fashion trends are big, bright and Bohemian. If you can't afford to buy a whole new wardrobe, one or two pieces will do just fine. Dig around in your closet or take a trip to Goodwill, we promise you'll find some valuable vintage pieces for cheap.

Here are some hot spring fashion trends for the ladies. Fringe looks hot on everything from skirts to shoes to bags this season. Don't go crazy though, fringe is an accessory and shouldn't be worn from head to toe. Plaid is a hot pattern this spring, from button up shirts to classic plaid shorts or pants. Want to accent your outfit a little? Zippers on skirts, shirts, or even bags can make a subtle statement. An exposed zipper looks fashionable and chic. Trench coats and rain boots are not only fashionable but a necessity for the season.

Big, chunky jewelry like rings, necklaces or bangles can bring a little flair to any outfit and makes the perfect accessory. Oversized bags in any color (even white) are a must. Embrace the spring with a little splash of pink, orange or yellow in your wardrobe. Mix up your style by pairing some Converse Chucks with your jeans or leggings like Hilary Duff does.




Looking to do something different with your hair? Follow the Bohemian style with a headband across your forehead like Nicole Richie and Mischa Barton. Or add a feminine touch with braids at the crown of your head, to give your hair a funky look like Chloe Sevigny.

For the guys - it doesn't hurt to flip through a GQ once in a while and actually put effort into your wardrobe. Here are some looks to try this spring. We love you in jeans or even sweatpants but mix it up this season with slim fitting trousers or skinny jeans like Pete Wentz and Robert Pattinson.




At the Michael Kors show during Fashion Week, he showcased mostly black and white patterns, neutral colors and even hints of yellow. Just like the women's trends, plaids and trench coats are hot this season for men too. A few staples that are hot for every season for men are aviator glasses, polo shirts and Converse Chucks.

If you think you're clueless with your personal style, be a fashion follower. Some trendy celebrities to look up to are Justin Timberlake, Robert Pattinson, Ashley Olson, Eva Mendes, Ashton Kutcher, Kate Moss, Lindsay Lohan, Chloe Sevigny and Nicole Richie.
