After a long winter, this spring will offer fresh perspective and even fresher looks. At the forefront of this season’s trends are splashy prints, bright colours and quirky accessories reminiscent of the vibrant, laid-back fashions of the 60s and 70s.

Below, you’ll find the top 10 spring fashion trends that are blossoming on the Instagram feeds and Pinterest boards of in-the-know fashionistas.

#1: Groovy Prints And Patterns

Colourful and playful patterns made popular in the 60s and 70s are making a comeback in full force. This spring, it’s time to disco.

#4: Beaded Jewelry

If you and your BFF didn’t have matching friendship bracelets in the 90s, were you even best friends? Beaded necklaces, bracelets and phone décor can make any spring fit more playful. We recommend buying your own bead kit to reconnect with your teen angst.
