The return of low-waisted pants
Love it or hate it; this trend from the 2000s is back, such is the way of fashion. If you feel nostalgic of the looks of Britney Spears or Beyoncé in those times, you are in luck. Low-rise trousers are well positioned in street style, the catwalks and the new items coming in this spring. All signs point to it becoming a must-have this season.

Your spring looks take on some fabrics already loved during the autumn-winter season. However, we’ll stick to lightweight fabrics that go with the milder temperatures: crochet and satin. Here are the keys to get your next purchases right.
Crochet everywhere
Ditch the idea that this texture doesn’t feel young enough. If you don’t already own any crochet items, you may want to get some and add a bohemian flair to your spring looks.

This season, it comes in all sorts of items. Crochet jumpers, dresses and even shorts will be everywhere this spring, in a plethora of colours and styles. Be it cold or warm where you live, this texture will give your outfits a very flattering boho touch.
Satin for a romantic touch
It’s been with us for a while, and it’s not going anywhere for now. Silky, shiny satin is perfect for every hour of the day, no matter if your outfit is casual or formal.
