Australian spring fashion trends to try in 2023
Shed your winter skin with these killer spring fashion trends.
Spring is the time to let go of those winter layers and experiment with fashion. Whether it be a new style or cut, fun colour or a quirky print, spring is all about having fun with what you're wearing.
So we've gone digging and scrolling through many Pinterest, TikTok and Instagram feeds to bring you the best of the best fashion trends for spring 2021 and we promise not one of them is florals.
For the cherry on top we've also included some of our favourite places to shop these trends just cause we love ya.
Boyfriend shirts
A button-up white shirt is, has and always will be a wardrobe staple. However, this spring the trend will be expanding to a more oversized boyfriend shirt aesthetic to spice things up a bit. Think stripes and bright colours with a large fit that can be worn with pants or skirts or even styles as a dress.
Where to shop:
Loungewear
Don't want to let go of the loungewear you were rocking all winter long? Great news – you don't have to! It seems as if the loungewear trend isn't going anywhere, with an array of retailers dropping versions appropriate for the warmer weather. Replace those sweatpants with some soft shorts, and those hoodies with a comfy graphic tee. You can simply never have enough loungewear – it's a scientific fact.
Where to shop:
Statement pants
Say hello to statement pants. We're not talking your average mom jeans either. Flare pants, loud prints and wide leg pants are all going to be a main mood for the spring season. Say goodbye to the status quo of "jeans and a nice top" because pants are going to be the star of the show this spring.
Where to shop:
- Nasty Gal
- THE ICONIC
- Cotton On
Puffy sleeves
Puffy sleeves are the feminine and elegant trend that's demanding a spot in your wardrobe. Puffy sleeves will be present across dresses, crop tops, blouses and cardigans. Expect to see this style in an array of variety from structured fits to more flowing designs.
Where to shop:
Open backs
Open backs are well, back and also perfect for trans-seasonal weather when things are starting to heat up. Similar to puffy sleeves, this trend is great to level up your outfits and give them some extra oomph. This style will be seen across intricate tie-up backs or low-cut draping styles that ooze elegance.
Where to shop:
2000s fashion
2000s fashion was a big prediction for 2021 fashion and it has not disappointed. It's time to dust off the velour tracksuit, grab the bedazzler and put on the fade sunglasses because the 2000s are back and better than ever. It also gives you the perfect excuse to go and rewatch all your favourite old-school movies for some fabulous fashion inspo.
Where to shop:
Chunky jewellery
A trend heavily influenced by the 2000s is chunky jewellery. Including rings, necklaces and bracelets – the more jewellery you can fit on the better. If it's large, beaded or stoned then bonus points. Beaded and pearl necklaces are having a big moment in the spotlight as well as gemstone rings.
Where to shop:
Coloured sneakers
The Aussie sneaker community is showing no signs of slowing down. Brands like Nike, Superga, Converse and adidas are a great place to start and have a wide range of unique and limited-edition sneakers that all have a step up from the average white shoe. For more, you can check out our sneakers hub.
Where to shop:
Graphic tees
The graphic tee is the epitome of a lazy outfit. You can rock it with a pair of sweatpants, bike shorts, denim shorts or jeans and you've got yourself a cool-girl outfit in no time. Nowadays, you can find styles that aren't just black or grey – we're seeing loads of colours and we have no complaints.
Where to shop:
Cross-body bags
This trend kind of snuck up on everyone and we expect it to hit its crescendo this spring/summer season. With the hype and popularity of the Poppy Lissiman South Beach Shell Bag, every brand began rolling out their own styles to compete. Now, they're the staple bag for every day whether you're doing the grocery shopping or heading out for some dinner and drinks.
Where to shop:
Seamless underwear
Say adios to scratchy and uncomfortable lace underwear and a big fat hello to comfortable seamless ribbed underwear. Arguably my personal favourite out of these trends, seamless underwear are going to be a big trend for spring especially with so many retailers launching sustainable options within this space. Keep a lookout for boxer/cycle shorts and bodysuits being incorporated into street style looks too!
Where to shop:
- THE ICONIC
- Nasty Gal
- Cotton On
Baseball caps
Batter up!
It has been a while since we've seen hats as a major trend for spring but the rise of "effortless chic" has brought baseball caps back in fashion.
