Our expert Stylists have identified 5 must-try spring fashion trends, building on styles you already know and love. Whether you consider yourself an adventurous dresser or you’re looking to switch up your tried-and-true outfit formulas, these spring-ready trends are yours for the taking (with our help, of course!)
Without further ado, here’s our take on how to incorporate the top 5 women’s spring fashion trends for 2026 into your wardrobe.
Elevated Workwear
Ever dreamed of curating a Pinterest-worthy capsule wardrobe? We’ve got you.
In 2026, elevated workwear takes center stage with versatile pieces you can wear almost anywhere. “Spring workwear is all about everyday tailoring—polished but relaxed pieces that feel just as good running errands as they do at brunch,” says Stylist Jackie.
Comfort with excellent construction is the key ethos here: think streamlined silhouettes like wide-leg pants, longer skirts and fashionable vests. Layer on a cardigan or trench coat for inclement weather, and complete the look with sleek flats and textured accessories.
Of course, a true capsule wardrobe is all about mix-and-match ease, which means sticking to a neutral palette. Anchor most of your clothing in white, black, tan and navy, then add personality with standout statement pieces. A studded bag or printed shoe makes your neutral capsule wardrobe feel fun and fresh.

Coastal Casual
Set sail with a trend that’s easy, breezy and just a little beachy. Nautical style meets transitional dressing for easy spring outfits that channel seaside vacation vibes with no travel required.
“Coastal casual is all about simple outfit formulas that feel comfortable and pulled together,” says Stylist Caro. “A striped top with relaxed denim, a tank under an open button-down or a light sweater paired with linen pants are all laid-back combos that are easy to wear from day to night.”
Denim is a major focus, but don’t let that fool you. With wide-leg silhouettes and drawstring waistbands, these jeans are as comfortable as they get. Soft trousers and midi skirts are great non-denim alternatives. Finish with clogs or boat shoes, and you’re ready for a waterfront dinner or weekend getaway.

Activewear, Elevated
When was the last time you showed your leggings drawer some love? With two athleisure trends to love this spring, it’s time to think beyond basics whether you’re unrolling your mat or lining up your first swing.
Modern Feminine: Take cues from balletcore fashion for your next yoga or pilates outfit. “Channel soft, ballet-inspired styling with pieces that balance movement and polish,” says Stylist Caro. Wrap layers, fold-over waistbands and flare pants are staples, but don’t ditch your matching sets yet—simply lean into pastel hues and feminine details like ruching or tie waists. Quilted tote bags stow necessities in style while on the move.
Golf Course Chic: Whether you’re more into hitting birdies or kicking back at the clubhouse (we’re not judging!), trading shorts for a tennis skirt instantly switches up women’s athleisure looks. Varsity sweatshirts are always a win, and you can even lean fully into vintage vibes with a polo shirt peeking out and retro sneakers on foot.

Farmer’s Market
This trend proves you don’t have to commit to life on the farm to lean into countryside charm. By blending feminine silhouettes with a cottagecore aesthetic, you get an unfussy, elevated boho look.
Stylist Jackie notes “Gingham prints, woven accessories and comfortable sandals add charm while keeping things effortless, so every spring outing feels like a stroll through your local market.”
Floral prints, denim with embroidered details and barn jackets are all staples of the farmer’s market trend. But the real crown jewel is the picnic dress.
Typically midi or maxi length, these spring dresses are made from lightweight fabrics and marked by irresistible romantic details like puff sleeves, ruffles, smocking and—wait for it—pockets. Just think of all the fresh market goodies you can stash away!

Spring Occasions
Whether you’re searching for a spring wedding guest outfit, attending a casual garden party or stepping out at family brunch, it’s the perfect time to refresh the sophisticated side of your closet.
Dainty details define this dressy casual trend, like tie-front and flutter-sleeve blouses, feminine skirts and matching sets. “For spring gatherings, choose refined silhouettes in soft colors or modern florals,” Stylist Caro advises. “Pastel mini bags, wedges and sandals add seasonal dimension to your already-elevated base.”
Two can’t-miss prints this spring? Floral and polka dots. Both shine individually, but don’t be afraid to get playful with pattern mixing—it’s easy to pull off with a cohesive color palette.
“Choose prints that share one or two key colors, and let one pattern dominate while the other plays a supporting role,” Stylist Erin says. Ease in with accessories, like a floral bag and polka dot dress, and you’ll be mixing patterns like a pro in no time.
Even casual outings can still get on board with this elevated trend. Give your jeans the day off and pair your favorite tee shirt with a skirt, mini bag and springy shoes.
