Whether you’re scouring the high street or treating yourself to a spot of home shopping, trying to decide what items your spring wardrobe desperately needs is never an easy task. You have hanger after hanger of clothes which you’ve accumulated over the years, but when it comes to trying to find something to wear, it feels like you have absolutely nothing. Well, don’t despair ladies, as we’re here to lend a helping hand. Here are just a few of our favourite trends in women’s fashion for spring 2013.

Floral
That’s right, we’re heading back to the nineteen-sixties; flower power is back! And it’s such an easy print to work with. Available in everything from ladies tunic tops to skinny jeans, the ways in which you can incorporate floral into your style is endless. What’s more, it’s the ultimate print for spring. Light, elegant and feminine, the upcoming months are the ideal time for you to embrace your girly side. Experiment with different types of pattern and colour to see what works for you. Selecting larger prints and bolder colours is the best way to create a statement. Or alternatively if you prefer the softer look, then opt for pastel shades and more intricate designs; the choice is yours!

Orient
Another trend fresh for spring 2013 is clothes that are influenced by the Orient. If you’re a fan of luxury and sleek modern designs, then you won’t be disappointed. Famous for its elusive and sensual nature, clothes from the Orient are undeniably unique, but not to be ignored. Making their mark on the catwalk this season, many admire this look for both its simplicity and sense of drama; the perfect item for a night out. Why not invest in a black silk cocktail dress, complete with a sharp burst of red to distinguish the Oriental detail? Or if you’re a little less adventurous then you could always just try an obi belt to finish your look; what’s to lose?

Eighties Icons
Now this is a blast from the past, why not take inspiration from eighties icons when deciding upon your spring wardrobe for 2013? Returning to an age of shoulder pads and big hair, at first you may be asking why Vogue is so eager to promote this style, but you can’t deny it, there were some definite style icons. From Madonna’s cage dresses to Grace Jone’s tuxedo, there’s a fantastic selection of bright and beautifully eighties pieces, just ready and waiting to make a comeback. So don’t miss out!
