The latest crop of street style trends [1] to emerge is rife with statement outerwear, animal prints, voluminous silhouettes, whimsical hair accessories, teeny-tiny bags, and some seriously bright pops of colour — as spotted (again and again) on editors and influencers alike during Fall 2019 Fashion Week [2]. And it's not to say that you haven't seen these looks before (plaid! trench coats! jumpsuits! white sandals!), but thanks to new, reinvigorated takes on old classics and impeccable styling, the style set proves once again why they reign supreme as the seasonal fashion bellwether. Read on for Spring's biggest street style trends — better yet, you can shop them, too.
Micro Bags
This Spring's must-have bag is tinier than ever [3]. From ladylike, top-handle iterations courtesy of Jacquemus and Chloé and compact belt bags to the micro-sized boxy Boyy bag, influencers, editors, and fashion insiders alike have made one thing abundantly clear: just because these bags are small doesn't mean they don't pack a serious sartorial punch.
Complet Valery Micro Belt Bag
If you tend to reach for lighter, neutral tones when dressing for Spring, this Complet Valery Micro Belt Bag [4] ($450) injects a small dose of accessorised colour.
Loeffler Randall Charlie Beaded Shoulder Bag
There's nothing about this mini Loeffler Randall Charlie Beaded Shoulder Bag [5] ($195) that doesn't scream, "Spring!" From its yellow-and-white beading to its slouchy over-the-shoulder shape, this is the kind of bag that will add a touch of whimsy to your everyday denim.
Topshop Mini Marissa Top Handle Bag
Pair this red Topshop Mini Marissa Top Handle Bag [6] ($38), which boasts a timeless silhouette, with almost any outfit — including, but not limited to, sharp blazer-and-trouser combos and softer tee-plus-silk-skirt looks.
Statement Hair Accessories
Looking for new, easy ways to style your hair? Opt for oversize barrettes that feel like a nostalgic throwback to childhood, dainty pearl-lined bobby pins, lush velvet headbands, and voluminous bows. All are fair game, as evidenced by the statement hair accessories worn by the Fashion Week street style set.
Fashion Metal Alligator Hair Clips
This sleek, gold and silver set of four Fashion Metal Alligator Hair Clips [7] ($10) is perfect for those with thicker hair.
Emilia Wickstead Grosgrain Bow Hair Clip
Big hair bows, like this Emilia Wickstead Grosgrain Bow Hair Clip [8] ($165), offer up a sweet, surprisingly girlish touch.
ASOS Design Hair Clips With Shell and Starfish Design in Gold
Add a little quirk to your look with these marine-inspired ASOS Design Hair Clips With Shell and Starfish Design in Gold [9] ($10) accessories.
Lele Sadoughi Velvet Headband
This Lele Sadoughi Velvet Headband [10] ($75) isn't your typical prep-school headband, thanks to its slightly thicker band and sweet pink hue.
Animal Prints
If we follow Caroline Issa's lead (always a good idea), then animal prints are this Spring's answer to the expected floral-print aesthetic. The fashion entrepreneur [11] is not alone in this stylish walk on the wild side. We spotted leopard print take shape on wide-leg trousers at New York Fashion Week, reptilian-paneled trenches on the streets of Milan Fashion Week, and silky zebra-printed tops during London Fashion Week.
H&M Jersey Turtleneck Top
Layer this snakeskin-printed H&M Jersey Turtleneck Top [12] ($18) with neutral tones — this alone will serve as a central point of intrigue.
On the Island by Mario Schwab St. Bart Off-the-Shoulder Tiger-Print Silk-Georgette Maxidress
One-part animal print, one-part beach ready: this On the Island by Mario Schwab St. Bart Off-the-Shoulder Tiger-Print Silk-Georgette Maxidress [13] ($829) is ready to be worn on Spring holiday.
Zadig & Voltaire Polic Jac Leopard Pants
There's so much styling power to be found with these Zadig & Voltaire Polic Jac Leopard Pants [14] ($298). Pair with loafers and a cream top for the office, dress it down with your favourite sneakers and an oversize sweater, or spice things up with a fitted black cardigan and colourful heels.
Plaid For Days
Since its '90s grunge-inspired heyday (and its forever staying power as a prep-school print), plaid has never really been far from view. But this time around, plaid is getting a sophisticated update. Think tailored trousers, fitted ladylike skirts, structured blazers, and sweet dresses — all covered in the telltale print in an array of classic and bright colours alike.
Sea Poirot Plaid Cuff Pants
The subtlety of the Sea Poirot Plaid Cuff Pants [15] ($368) print complements the bold colour and wide-leg silhouette. Be sure to style this type of pant with a cropped shape on top or a tucked-in tee.
Zara Plaid Detail Midi Skirt
We love the off-centre button detailing on this Zara Plaid Detail Midi Skirt [16] ($40) — it's definitely not your average midi skirt.
Treasure & Bond Double Breasted Blazer
Whether worn with a dress or jeans-and-tee combo, this Treasure & Bond Double Breasted Blazer [17] ($99) provides an instant dose of prep.
Reformation Marabella Dress in Cubana
We love how relaxed and warm-weather-forward this Reformation Marabella Dress in Cubana [18] ($248) is — it makes us long for sunny days ahead.
Oversize Blazers
From New York to Paris, there was no question that the strong, oversize blazer is back and should be worn with just about everything. The best part? This particular blazer resurgence is marked by fun prints, neutral and bright colours, and sharp, classic tailoring.
Ganni Suiting Blazer
We can't think of a more perfect day-to-night blazer than this Ganni Suiting Blazer [19] ($360).
& Other Stories Ikat Jacquard Blazer
The tie detail, rich blue hue, and slouchy fit make the & Other Stories Ikat Jacquard Blazer [20] ($125) a great contender for that blazer you wear when you want to make a casual outfit pop.
Tibi Linen Viscose Long Blazer With Removable Tie in Baby Pink
The Tibi Linen Viscose Long Blazer With Removable Tie in Baby Pink [21] ($850) can be styled as a set or worn with flare-cropped jeans and boots for a slightly less polished feel.
The Trench Redux
You can always count on a khaki or beige trench to put the finishing touches on a look — the trench coat is a core wardrobe essential after all. But its timelessness is not what's in question, it's how you wear it this Spring that changes the styling formula. This trench redux is about the statement it makes all on its own.
Coach Long Military Coat
The Coach Long Military Coat [22] ($795) is a more utilitarian take on the trench, and the crisp white is perfect for Spring.
Rains Overcoat in Lavender
Style this relaxed Rains Overcoat in Lavender [23] ($170) with a thin turtleneck layer and wide-leg pants. Bonus: this trench is weatherproof.
Club Monaco Fayhe Trench
We love the sporty vibe of this Club Monaco Fayhe Trench [24] ($359).
The Barely There White Sandal
Rain or shine, the barely there white sandal look is hard to resist. The simple, sleek, strappy shoe silhouette dominated the streets (literally) of Fashion Week, so it's a good thing it can be easily incorporated into everyday style.
The Row Bare Leather Sandals
The Row Bare Leather Sandals [25] ($790) is arguably the shoe that ignited this trend.
Zara Strappy Mid-Heel Leather Sandals
Because the silhouette is so minimalist, you can wear these Zara Strappy Mid-Heel Leather Sandals [26] ($80) with any length on bottom — denim jeans, full skirts, body-skimming skirts, culottes, flares, and so on.
By Far Libra Slides
We love the playful kitten heel found on these By Far Libra Slides [27] ($365).
The Denim Alternative
The fashion set ditched their fitted denim, instead favouring looser, wide-leg shapes and cropped flares. And it doesn't stop there. These reinvigorated silhouettes are even more dynamic, thanks to a diversified palette of textures: leather, corduroy, linen, and khaki.
Topshop Mensy Trousers
Masculine meets feminine with these Topshop Mensy Trousers [28] ($68).
Vince High-Rise Cropped Leather Culotte Pants
We saw many iterations of the leather culotte during Fashion Week, and this pair of Vince High-Rise Cropped Leather Culotte Pants [29] ($487, originally $995) is a great way to get in on the trend.
Keepsake Follower Crepe High-Rise Pant
The Keepsake Follower Crepe High-Rise Pant [30] ($145) favours Spring's pull toward brighter colours, but the tailored cut means you can easily wear this bold pant to work and beyond.
The Utility Jumpsuit
The heavier fabric and long sleeves make the utility jumpsuit an easy styling hack for transitional weather. Editors and influencers layered this look with turtlenecks and strategic pops of colour during Fashion Week (you can, too!), but as the days warm up in Spring, it's just as fun to wear this jumpsuit as a standalone statement piece.
Madewell Coverall Jumpsuit in Dried Rosebud
The soft pink hue injects a hint of femininity into this Madewell Coverall Jumpsuit in Dried Rosebud [31] ($148).
L.F. Markey Danny Cotton-Blend Drill Jumpsuit
Style a bold pop of colour underneath this cream-coloured L.F. Markey Danny Cotton-Blend Drill Jumpsuit [32] ($225).
River Island Khaki Utility Boiler Jumpsuit
The classic khaki green take on the utility jumpsuit is all we could ever want in this River Island Khaki Utility Boiler Jumpsuit [33] ($120).
Colour Pop Palette
In a move that turned heads purely based on the bright colour palette alone, the fashion set made it known that pops of sunny yellow and orange, electric lime green, vibrant pink and lilac, and stunning blue are the much-needed antidote to the typical all-black uniform. Fashion Week was bursting with colour, signaling Spring is truly in bloom.
Zero + Maria Cornejo Foulard Dress
This sunny Zero + Maria Cornejo Foulard Dress [34] ($897, originally $1,495) is instant cheer in dress form. The relaxed silhouette allows for easy layering.
Rouje Paris Carrie Skirt
While this Rouje Paris Carrie Skirt [35] ($153) is certainly in line with the bias-cut skirt trend, it also hits all the right notes for Spring's call for brighter colours.
Acne Studios Joghy Lime Green Oversize Hoodie
Pair this boxy Acne Studios Joghy Lime Green Oversize Hoodie [36] ($290) with your favourite pair of denim or dress it up over a romantic maxi dress.
