Now that we’re in the throes of the spring season, I’m looking to give my outfits a fresh injection of energy. Of course, there’s no lack of sartorial inspiration to invigorate my outfits this season. From nifty styling ideas from the runways to chic outfits on Instagram and yes, even Zara’s website (always a treasure trove of styling tricks), for the past few weeks, I’ve saved some of the coolest spring styling ideas that I plan on copying to give my outfits a trend-forward touch throughout spring and into summer. Below, I’m sharing some easy and most importantly—affordable!—tweaks that you too can easily make within your day-to-day looks that will unquestionably reinvigorate your spring wardrobe.
Add an Extra Belt
An easy and cool styling trick we've spotted on the fashion set this season is double belting. Whether you go for two matching belts or want to mix and match them, this simple tweak will instantly give your outfit a trend-forward look.

Layer Up Your Basic Tops
Give your lightweight basic tops a fashion-forward touch and layer them on like the girls on the spring/summer Miu Miu runway. The key here is to layer them nonchalantly so that you can see them all peeking through. A fresh palette of pale yellows, grays, and whites screams spring 2023.

Add a Flash of Red
Fiery, vibrant red is unquestionably one of the most popular color trends of 2023. Whether you go for a head-to-toe look or add just a pop of color with a handbag or pair of shoes, the shade is sure to reinvigorate your look this spring.

Pretty 3D florals are having a major moment this year. The popular runway trend now has plenty affordable options on the market—from tops to chokers and hair ties—the charming appliqué will make for one Insta-worthy look.

Supersize Your Denim Silhouette

Style Your 'Fit With Socks
If you're looking for one of the easiest and cheapest ways to look on-trend this season, then look no further than a humble pair of socks. The fashion set are styling them with everything from sling backs to sneakers. And whether you go for slouchy crew socks, a sleek ankle-length pair, or perhaps an of-the-moment red color, it's a sure-fire way to make your ensemble look very 2023.

Show Your Undies (Subtly)
Okay, this may not be everyone's cup of tea, but one micro-trend I've been seeing this season (and I spotted all over the F/W 23 runways too) are undies styled just above your skirt or pants—allowing them to peek through subtly. Opt for a pair with a special feature such as a silky or sequin fabric, that will add a pop to your basics.

Add a Hoodie
Hoodies are the gloriously cheap basic every fashion person will be wearing this year. Thanks to their huge presence on the recent F/W 23 runways, fashion girls have already been quick to jump on the trend—styling hoodies with everything from full skirts to minis as well as layering them under jackets and blazers.
