Not that I haven’t been loving my dark denim, over the knee boots and oversized sweaters all winter, but as spring gets closer and the weather gets warmer, I’m ready to trade in my winter clothes for some of spring’s hottest trends. Below are five of this season’s must-have essentials. Whether you’re going to class, shopping on State Street or just hanging out with friends, these must-haves will provide stylish staples that you can mix and match and dress up or down for any occasion this spring.
1. Fringe Purse
One of spring’s biggest looks is 70s boho chic. While wide leg, light wash, high waisted denim might be a little more literal than most of us are willing to go, a fringed leather purse is the perfect accessory to keep looking current. Instead of looking like you walked out of a John Travolta movie, take cues from the adorable Taylor Swift and pair your fringed bag with a floral dress, light cardigan and cool shades. Check out Brandy Melville’s black Single Suede Fringe Purse for only $35 to purchase your 70s inspired must have.

2. Nude Heels
So is being a Kardashian the key to perfection or what, because I’m pretty much obsessed with this entire family. Even little sisters Kylie and Kendall are looking fabulous on the red carpet with their neutral look. You can’t go wrong with nude heels, one of spring’s hottest trends this year. Nude heels go with everything. Pair them up with a light dress like the stylish Kardashian sisters, or wear them with your little black dress you wore all winter to lighten the look up and make it spring appropriate. You don’t need to borrow a pair of the sisters Louboutins to rock this spring trend. Head over to ALDO and pick up a pair of nude heels to make your legs look miles long.

3. Denim Vest
Denim jackets are a well-loved trend of seasons past, but this spring opt for a cropped vest to update this wardrobe classic. Go for Sienna Miller’s effortlessly stylish look by matching your vest with a flirty dress, ankle boots and bold accessories. Go to Urban outfitters to get this updated spring rocker look.

4. Blazers
I know, this is nothing new; blazers have been in style for a while now. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t at the top of the charts for spring must haves. The classic blazer is still in style, but for spring try something new! Try a light grey blazer to lighten up a darker outfit, or go bold with this pink blazer from Zara. Everyone will love your twist on the classic look!

5. Colored boat shoes
To contrast your nude heels, go with bright colored boat shoes for the spring. Fall was all about the classic brown boat shoe, now branch out! Match them with a pair of white pants or jean shorts for a casual spring look. Gucci has come out with a spring collection featuring bright red boat shoes, but why not make you wallet happy and go with Steve Madden’s collection (who also has a great red pair) for only $49!
