Even if you never jumped on the flower-crown bandwagon, you can't deny how pretty these blooms look as hair accessories. Hair stylists placed them individually in updos or behind the ears. Debut this look when the Spring music festivals come along, or even try it at a formal event (Jennifer Lawrence is already an early adopter).

Consider this makeup trend a grown-up version of finger painting. Take an electric color like red or blue, or even basic black, and swipe it on liberally. There's no precision required for this artsy look best suited for a night out.

The trend: Accent Stripes on Nails

Minimalist manicures were popular at New York Fashion Week. Instead of just keeping nails bare with flesh-toned polish, however, they sported a little touch of nail art in the form of skinny stripes. Worn on a single nail, it's beautifully subtle (not to mention incredibly easy to re-create at home).

Lip gloss, everyone's favorite '90s beauty product, is back in a big way for Spring. Considering supermatte lips have taken over Instagram for a while now, it's refreshing to see neutral, high-shine pouts on their way up.

The trend: Not-So-Basic Ponytails

This Spring, a simple black elastic won't do. We saw countless fresh takes on the ponytail, from being wrapped in neon bungees to braids to artful layering. The sporty hairstyle has never been chicer.

The trend: Embellished Eyes

Designers were loving the look of bedazzled lids. You may not be showing up to your office with pearls and gems superglued to your eyes, but this trend is definitely fit for a concert or festival come Spring.

The trend: French Manicure Reimagined

Classic French manicures bring back memories of the early aughts and have, for the most part, been left behind. New ways of doing the look, however — say, "upside down" (with the strip at the cuticle of the nail) or with metallic or striped tips instead of white — hint at a major comeback for the retro mani this Spring.

The trend: Soft Curls

Step away from the straightening iron. Whether you're born with ringlets (lucky) or have to fake it, next season is all about embracing brushed-out, soft texture. Odile Gilbert used a three-eighths-inch curling rod to achieve this look at Simkhai.
