While some may argue that there are some trends better suited for certain body types, we beg to differ. Anyone of any size can wear anything — it's just about finding an option that works for your specific shape. Whether you highlight your curves with a fitted waist or enlongate your legs with a shorter hemline, it's about that time this myth was debunked. To get things going, we'll start with a few universally flattering Spring styles, modeled by — who else? — our favorite bloggers.
Read on through to see and shop this season's hottest styles, and get ready to look good, feel good, and prove those naysayers wrong once and for all.
1 Wrap Skirts and Dresses
A great way to nail a polished, pulled-together look in a snap? Throw on a wrap skirt. Paired with a button-down, long options become office appropriate, while shorter or revealing versions quickly become casual with t-shirts and kicks.
2 Culottes
Not ready for shorts just yet? Culottes are your best bet. The in-between option will keep you cool and, thanks to the cropped detail, pairs well with both flats and heels — no hemming required!
3 Cold-Shoulder Styles
Warm weather means skin is in, so why not show yours off? Instead of rocking a full-on crop top, go with a cold-shoulder cutout, revealing just enough without feeling overexposed and making basic ensembles a bit more interesting.
4 Midi Skirts
Full and feminine, flowy and pleated — there are so many options when it comes to this versatile, year-round trend. You might find yourself stocking up.
5 Horizontal Stripes
Whoever said horizontal stripes aren't for everyone just didn't know how to wear 'em! This print comes in all sizes — teeny-tiny, large and bold — meaning there's one out there that'll flatter your shape and help you embrace the season's staple.
6 Vertical Stripes
Vertical stripes will elongate your frame, but why stop at shirts and dresses? Pants and vests with this print can quickly spice up a simple look, and stripes are an easy one for mixing (dare to wear 'em with polka dots).
7 Bomber Jackets
Just in case you weren't completely sold on Spring's hottest topper, just know it's got a ton of fans, from street style stars to models to Michelle Obama. It's the perfect alternative to your go-to leather jacket, adding pizzazz to an outfit and protecting you from in-between chilly temps.
8 Jumpsuits
You don't have to look like Gigi Hadid to pull off a jumpsuit — just find the right cut for you. Looking to elongate your legs? Go with a cropped pant! Want to highlight your waist? A drawstring's for you! With one piece, your look is complete, meaning running out of the house has never been easier.
9 Ruffles
Juvenile no more, ruffles have gotten an elevated makeover, securing their spot as the must-have detail on Spring and Summer dresses, tops, skirts, and more. These are pieces you'll want to invest in now; come Fall '16, they'll still be everywhere, and you'll be well ahead of the curve.
