Fashion Trends April 2019
Our April Fashion Wish List Reminds Us of Our Youth, and We Love That
As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.
This April, we want tie-dye. We want nostalgic graphic tees and bright slides. Everything on this list is a little bit playful. Even the Prada headband, with its sophisticated logo, reminds us of our youth. We couldn't be more stoked to shop for Spring and liven up our wardrobe with some throwback styles. Turn on the old-school jams and collect these incredible pieces with us.
Onia x We Wore What Rosy Top and Delila Bottoms
"Swimsuit season is so close, I can practically taste it, so I'm looking to stock up on some new bikinis ASAP. This Onia x We Wore What Rosy Top ($95) and the matching Delila Bottoms ($95) fuel my bandana pattern obsession with a fun burnt-orange twist that reminds me of a beachy sunset." — Victoria Messina, assistant editor, Trending and Viral Features
POPSUGAR Belted Button-Down Dress
"I'm heading to Paris for holiday soon and this
Belted Button-Down Dress ($45, originally $60) from the POPSUGAR at Kohl's collection is my ideal casual-chic travel look to take me from sightseeing to lunch to exploring local shops. Nodding to Parisian style, I'll pair it with a straw bag, lace-up sandals, and cat-eye sunglasses." — Laura Lajiness, senior editor, Fashion
Westward Leaning X Olivia Palermo Seaspray Sunglasses
"Olivia Palermo's latest collab with fashion-gir-favourite brand Westward Leaning is made up of shades that have wow-factor and wearability. This Westward Leaning X Olivia Palermo Seaspray Style ($255) is at the top of my list, thanks to the white frames and slightly retro feel." — Hannah Weil McKinley, director, Fashion & Shop
Future State Flower Chart Tee
"I know florals for Spring aren't groundbreaking at this point, but I couldn't resist snagging this Future State Flower Chart Tee ($34) last time I was at Urban Outfitters. It has a worn-in, vintage feel to it and pairs well with practically every wash of denim." — VM
Cotton Citizen Brisbane Tank
"Even if the tie-dye trend ends up being short-lived, I really don't care. I think I'll get more wears out of this Cotton Citizen Brisbane Tank ($80) right now than I will my simple white tees in a lifetime. Should I just sleep in it?" — SW
Goldsign Overfit High-Rise Jeans
"I've fully committed to breaking up with my skinny jeans, and I'm finding my replacements in cargo pants and wide-leg silhouettes like the Goldsign Overfit High-Rise Jean ($387), which is essentially the delicious colour of butter." — SW
Prada Nylon Headband
"Even a no-fuss, hair minimalist like myself can appreciate the nostalgia-inducing Prada nylon headband ($240). It's just what my boring ponytail has been missing." — HWM
Opening Ceremony x Birkenstock Fluorescent Zurich Sandal
"The Opening Ceremony x Birkenstock ($165) collab fulfilled my beach slide dreams for the Summer ahead. I'm particularly attracted to the neon green style." — SW
Dora Larsen Pernille Lingerie Set
"When warm weather comes, I start sleeping in bra-and-panty sets instead of my coziest sweats. It's time to invest in some new styles, including this Dora Larsen Pernille Soft Bra ($60) and Pernille High-Waist Knicker ($50)." — SW
Citizens of Humanity Grace Pocket Tee
"I haven't loved tie-dye this much since middle school — and thanks to perfectly cut, subtly hued iterations like this Citizens of Humanity Grace Pocket Tee ($128) I still look like a grown-up, just one with a penchant for cool tees." — HWM
Needle and Thread Garland Flora Dress
"There's something so romantic about this Needle and Thread Garland Flora Dress ($419). It's hard not to fall in love with the dress's dreamy floral-print, romantic ruffles, and pastel hues." – Nikita Ramsinghani, associate editor, Fashion.
Mystique PVC Cage Slides
"These Mystique PVC Cage Slides ($184) feature tiny little crystals that will add just the right amount of shine to any Spring outfit." — NR
Summersalt Cloud 9 Pajama Set
"The second I saw Summersalt's Cloud 9 Pajama Set ($95), I knew I had to buy it for my upcoming bachelorette party. The material is so soft and, bonus points, you can have it monogrammed!" — NR
Karen Wazen The Glamorous
"If you don't know blogger Karen Wazen, you're missing out. I've been obsessed with her style for a while now (she's also from Dubai!) and she's recently created her own line of sunglasses. Just look how chic these Karen Wazen The Glamorous ($135) sunglasses are. I can't wait to buy them." — NR
Mother Denim Rascal Ankle Snippet - Night Hawk
"I've never actually given Mother Denim a try, but with celebs like Meghan Markle wearing the brand on the regular, I really wanted to give it a try. These black Mother Denim Rascal Ankle Snippet ($280) would be great for grabbing drinks with friends over the weekend." — NR
Arias Elastic Sleeve Dress
"It's hard for me to resist a structured feminine mini dress, and this breathable Elastic Sleeve Dress ($895) from emerging brand Arias is a total showstopper without feeling like I'm overdoing it. (Honestly, how great are these sculptural sleeves?!) I'll be pairing it with simple slides and air-dried hair for an effortless summer look." — LL
Marks and Spencer US Brim Flat Top Sun Hat
"I couldn't stop wearing this Marks and Spencer US Brim Flat Top Sun Hat ($44) during my trip to Miami. It perfectly shielded me from the sun, and you better believe I'll be carrying it with me on any holiday from now on." — NR
Jaded London Rib Crop Top
"The ribbed tanks we used to pair with our Soffe shorts are back in a big way. I like the idea of personalizing my collection with some embroidery. This Jaded London Rib Crop Top ($24) is the perfect start." — SW
Zoë Chicco 14K Mixed Pearl and Diamond Mobile Earrings
"I'm all about an asymmetrical earring moment and the minute I saw these Zoë Chicco 14K Mixed Pearl and Diamond Mobile Earrings ($570) at a press preview, I shouted "I need these!" They're exactly how I want to be wearing pearls in 2019." — LL
Le Nine Nina Crystal Bag
"I've not over the basket bag trend, and I don't think I'll ever be. You can think of this Le Nine Nina Crystal Bag ($495) as the perfect going-out basket bag." — NR
MORI Mama & Mini Lounge Set
"On weekends, you can catch me and my one-year-old lounging or strolling to the park. Now, we'll have the perfect outfits for hanging, thanks to this adorable new Mama & Mini Lounge Set ($181) from MORI. It doesn't get cuter than 'mama and mini power!'" — HWM
Malone Souliers Penelope 100 Pumps
"Two things I really love: a classic-with-a-twist pump and optic-white shoes — they make every single outfit feel incredibly fresh. This playful Malone Souliers Penelope 100 Pumps ($595) from the brand's new capsule collection for Shopbop is my perfect summer version that will pop against my assortment of floral-print dresses and skirts, vintage-wash denim, and utilitarian trousers." — LL
Agolde Parker Easy Straight Jean in Placebo
"With muscular legs, I always struggle to find a comfortable pair of jeans and really can't deal with the suffocating feel of tight-fitting denim. Enter: the Agolde Parker Easy Straight Jean in Placebo ($188) (which, if you haven't tried a pair of jeans from this brand, I don't know what you're doing with your life. Every fashion editor I know is obsessed.) Cut for a low-slung fit, this '90s-inspired straight-leg is rigid but feels totally relaxed. I'll be wearing them nonstop, both with heels at the office and sporty sandals on weekends." — LL
Etro Grosgrain-Trimmed Floral-Print Straw Hat
"I'm super anti-sun-in-my-face, and yet my summer hat collection consists of well, one single style. I'll be upping my game with this paisley-printed Etro Straw Hat ($370) for a pop of colour against my lineup of mostly neutral swimwear." — LL
