Runway Rundown co-founder and Korean American stylista Kim Halzle is back with spring trends to cash in on now.

I’m back to give you the wrap up on a few more key trends for Spring. Still not sure about what key pieces to buy for a fresh new Spring look? Not sure how to utilize your existing wardrobe and
incorporate it with the new trends? Fret not! The exciting thing about fashion is that you can make it your own. Don’t be intimidated by expensive price tags and statement pieces that don’t seem fitting to
your lifestyle. Mix and match these trends at a researched and affordable price and you’ll be feeling and looking like a million bucks before the snow melts!

Trend 1:  Stripes
A standout pattern amongst a crowd of notables for the season will be stripes. Bold, chunky, skinny, vibrant, this list goes on and the multiple ways they can be styled is endless. Another thing we love
about stripes for the season, as they are traditionally known to give off a nautical look this season finds them more youthful and artistic. Mix and match and show your stripes this season!

2. Alexis Long Halter Dress from Pink Mascara $269

Trend 3:  Neutral Tones
Like we can count on the snow to melt each year, just the same we can on neutral tones to be the building block for Spring palates. Known as the seasonal color that all Spring collections are built on,
neutral tones easily bring a lightness and fairylike element that we so look forward to after a heavy dark Winter palette and it is the easiest tone to lead towards to transition into Spring. Wear them any
way you wish from a great pair of slacks to a dainty and demure dress or even utilize the tone in a classic suit.

Trend 4:  Sheer Style
Why do I love the sheer trend?…let me count the ways:
1.  There is no better way to capture the bohemian look then with sheer floral prints.
2.  You can’t get much sexier than leaving a little to the imagination with the help of sheer materials
3.  The lightness and movement that lace and silk give of is a perfect way to flip your wardrobe into high gear for Spring.
