My mom often asks for my thoughts on must-haves and trends. It comes with the territory as a shopping director. I know she typically gravitates toward the more polished looks (I love that vibe too), so I mentioned a range of particularly chic and elegant trends I thought she'd be into.
Yes, these five key spring trends are front-runners for us both because of their versatile and more refined nature. Keep scrolling for visual inspiration showcasing the elegant trends in question. I also shopped out each look in case you, too, want to add one of the looks to your spring wardrobe.
Butter Yellow
Powder pink is a favorite color trend for the season, but so is butter yellow. My mom loves this look, in particular, because it feels different and modern.
Short Trench Coats
While my mom and I will continue to embrace longline trench coats, the shorter styles feel chic and cool for the season.
East-West Bags
My mom can't wait to get her hands on a trend-forward east-west bag. She's very into the Coach silhouette.
Blazers + Belts
Blazers are staples for both of us, and adding a belt creates such an elegant silhouette.
Bootcut Jeans
We're both here for bootcut jeans. The silhouette is of-the-moment and quite sleek and chic.
