Winter is over, you can pack away the heavy coats and dark colors and get ready to embrace spring with more color, more patterns and bring back some of your spring favorites.

Taking a look at this spring's must-have fashion, includes bright colored blazers and suits, two-piece sets and pastel accessories like sandals, silk scarves and mini-purses.

Don't be afraid to mix and match colors, in fact, the fashion world is inviting you to pair a magenta blazer with lavender sandals and a bright green mini-purse. This past winter was full of color, but this spring is bursting to the seams.

These are the 10 spring essential colors and patterns to look for when shopping for your stylish spring wardrobe pieces.

10 Lavender

Lavender is here to stay as a spring accent color from head to toe, along with its lighter and brighter hues. Imagine yourself in a lavender blazer with matching trouser shorts, or having go-to lavender sandals with a matching mini-purse.

Incorporate purple accents into your wardrobes such as a scrunchie or silk scarf to brighten up your more basic capsule closet items. 

9 Magenta

Magenta is another obvious accent color this spring where you can collect pieces to either wear together or separate.

From throwing a magenta blazer over a basic white-T with jeans for casual streetwear, or over your favorite little black dress for a night out. You can also have some statement pieces like magenta satin wide-leg trousers or a magenta mini-skirt. These essential pieces in a bold color will brighten up your everyday outfits.

8 And All Shades Of Pink

Yes, magenta is a stand-out color this spring, but to be honest so are all shades of pink. The best part? Fashionistas are wearing all the shades of pink together. Imagine a darker pink satin dress with light pink sandals and a purse.

Or a darker pink skirt with a lighter pink crop top. Take all your favorite shades of pink and style them together for a bright spring look.

7 Bright Orange

Orange is an unexpected favorite this spring, not like a dark burnt orange but a bright tangy Sunny-D shade, and people are maxing out the color. It isn't just an accent color for a top or a blazer, but you can wear a bright orange three-piece suit, that includes a corset top.

Get comfortable with bright orange, it looks like it is here to stay.

6 Shades Of Green

Similar to how people are mixing their favorite shades of pink, the same rule applies when it comes to green. From bright emerald green to lime, mix and match your pieces to curate a green outfit.

This way of styling an outfit by color and not matching to the shade makes it easier to curate more outfits that include statement colors, without worrying about how useful they will be. In this method, the statement colors become your everyday pieces.

5 Gingham

Gingham is a trendy way of saying picnic blanket plaid, but in spring it comes in many colors from red to purple, pink, yellow and green.

If you are looking for a subtle but fun pattern to add some texture to your outfit lean into gingham patterns. From bootcut pants to two-piece outfits and blazers you can get a lot of mileage from gingham year round but especially in spring with pastel colors.

4 Floral

Floral is another spring classic because you don't need to hold back when it comes to mixing colors and fabrics.

Everyone has the floral that they can wear year-round, but certain bright pieces you just know are for spring and summer fashion. Bring your florals out of hiding and style them with trendy sandals and bags to look like spring.

3 Polka Dots

Embrace polka dots this spring, why not? It is a great pattern for year-round clothing making it easy to rotate into your capsule wardrobe but imagine a linen royal blue and white polka dot two-piece with a crop and wide-leg pants. Or a two-piece halter top and miniskirt with pastel blue and green polka dots.

This pattern translates nicely for all occasions from work clothes to streetwear.

2 Bold Patterns

If you weren't already wearing bold patterns this winter, now is your chance to go all out and not hold back. The '70s have heavily influenced today's trends from flowy two-piece street pajamas with bold patterns and colors, to statement silky tops and skirts.

No pattern is too bold for spring fashion, and it is the perfect opportunity to mix spring colors like pink and orange, purple and green or blue and lavender.

1 A Mix Of Colors

What is probably defining spring fashion at the moment is the mixture of colors. Think of it as you can get basic pieces like blazers, crops, trousers and skirts but in various bold colors, and wear them for the piece, not the color.

This allows you to mix and match colors freely and get more wear out of statement pieces. Brighten up your spring wardrobe by embracing color and patterns.
