What’s hot this spring

Spring is just around the corner and we’ve gathered some of the top looks  for the upcoming season. The days are getting longer, the weather is getting warmer – it’s time to open the windows and welcome in the spring season. It’s finally time to say goodbye to all the sweatshirts and joggers we’ve been living in all winter and say hello to these 4 new top trends:

The Folk Boho, the Nautical Fashion, Baby Chic, and Old School Varsity. Effortlessly cool silhouettes, soft color palettes, and chic patterns and prints- there is something to inspire everyone. As is our custom, we have analyzed the buying behavior of our 120 million annual users and have compiled a list of the top must-have items for Spring 2021.

Top 4 Spring Trends

FOLK BO-HO TREND

It’s true we’ve seen a lot from the 2000’s trends so far this year, but Spring 2021 is also seeing the return of bohemian or boho-chic clothing reminiscent of the 60’s and 70’s. Jackets with folklore looks and prints are particularly sought after by our users: we’ve seen a spike in interest and traffic resulting in a 69% increase in clicks. Silk scarves are also experiencing a resurgence of interest with a 24% increase in clicks: channel your inner Janis Joplin and wear them as the perfect hair accessory, or for and even bolder look – styled as a top! Silk, high-waisted pants that are cut with a wide leg are also making a comeback with a 27% increase in clicks.
