What trends are you trying and liking this spring?

always trying

I just bought 2 bell sleeve tops, 3/4 sleeve, one polyester blend that I have worn, the other is 100percent cotton that I am keeping for hotter weather. Currently looking for light neutral wide leg crops in linen or linen cotton blend, love the bell sleeves in the shorter length as they are much more practical than long ones. I am liking the wide leg crops on others, so will see how I like them on me. Am really loving floral embroidery on everything. Going to order some of those iron on ones to try on old pair of white jeans. Have white floral embroidery blue denim jeans, and floral embroidery ankle strap pumps.
What trends are grabbing you.?

I like embroidery too. I was surprised to see so many people don't. I am enjoying a looser fit bottom, mostly preferring them over skinny jeans as we head into summer. I have my first linen piece in years.

High vamp loafer mules! Prob my fave so far.

Rachy, I want to see your mules! I'm finding myself attracted to those as well. My feet get too hot to wear loafers in the summer - and I've enjoyed loafer mules in the past. I wish I had the budget for those Gucci loafer/babouche hybrids that somebody posted about recently, but THAT ain't happenin'.

Always trying, to answer your question, I'm not so much trying trends, as stocking up on things I like that happen to be plentiful right now and fit my current needs and "style" (whatever that may be - still getting a handle on that.)

Cropped pants. I realize other Forum Members have been wearing them for a long time now, but I made the commitment this year to find my perfect length/fit.

Oh, and linen blouses. The blouses are a great success. Still experimenting with the cropped pants.

Funny! We have just gone through a couple of threads talking about which trends we are not warming to, this year! (And for many people, it sounds like most.)

But...I'm into cropped trousers (wide ones if I find the right ones).
Ankle interest footwear (again, if I find the right ones.)
Fashion sneakers.
Gingham & stripes.
Pattern mixing.

Still into crops and always into shoes. I like gingham and pink too!

Sneakers. Slip-on sneakers. And wide legs (in knit fabrics). The wide leg knit pants are just so great for being comfortable yet still feeling like I'm dressed of somebody knocks on the door

I'm liking cropped and wide legged pants for summer and our recent warm spring days.

I like short bell sleeves, too, because they balance my upper arms so prettily.

I've bought sparingly, but those two trends have found a home.

always trying, I'm curious - do you read my blog posts?

I love a thread where we focus on the positive! Fashion should be fun, and often the blog comments are full of reasons about why a particular style won't work. I'll chime back later with some of my fave trends but just wanted to say thanks for starting this, Always Trying.

Style Fan, I got a really nice Diane Gilman embroidered denim jacket from HSN. I don't know if it's still available, though.

So far, I’ve added slides in a non-neutral color, gingham, and a tie-waist top. I've also added a deep cuff pair of jeans and am keeping my eye open for a release or step hem pair. I'm also open to a bracelet length bell sleeve top.

I have a pair of wide legged linen crops from last year and I wore them on a trip to Texas last weekend. Still like them

Your tops sound great. I would love to find some bell-sleeve tops. I've looked but not found the right ones yet.

I ordered a couple of pairs of embroidered jeans. They should arrive tomorrow.

I finally found a cold-shoulder top that I like. I'm also looking for an off-the-shoulder top.

I have a pair of block heel sandals from last year and plan to wear them as soon as the weather permits.

I'd love to find some kind of coulottes or wide-leg crops. I'm short with long legs, so I have to watch the proportions carefully. It's tricky to find just the right thing!
