Time to dust off your wicker purses and picnic blankets because brunch season has finally returned. And what would brunch be, if not a chance to show off your trendiest ‘fits? We all know that trying to gauge trends makes shopping more overwhelming than fun. To make things easier, we’ve done the Internet stalking for you, so you can rest (and shop) easy.

“Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.”

There are some things you can always count on, like Texas’s turbulent weather, crop tops, and pastels. Another thing? Floral patterns in spring. That said, sometimes we need to mix it up from the ordinary. If you’re in this boat, here is the ultimate spring cheat sheet.

Polka Dots 

Polka dots are such a classic, yet have been on the backburner in the fashion world. This pattern should be your new go-to if you crave a more grown-up, yet still youthful vibe.

Tangerine Orange

Think less prison jumpsuit, more fashionable fruit. From “ew” to “ooh,” tangerine is now making a name for itself. It has surprisingly been popping up on celebrities’ social media pages for the past few weeks. Don’t believe us? Just take a peek at Kylie Jenner’s Instagram feed or Megan Thee Stallion’s Grammy look. Tangerine is the burst of color that will serve you well from spring into the summer months.

Printed Patchwork

Everyone remembers when the Jaded London patchwork jeans dominated Tiktok and Pinterest. Well now, they have a dressier, more elegant successor: printed patchwork. If you have trouble visualizing, just think satiny quilt.

Bubblegum Pink

Pink is the evergreen color. No matter the season, no matter the year, pink has always been in. More recently, pastel pink has been everyone’s preferred shade. This spring, try welcoming in a little more pigment. Bubblegum pink is vibrantly flirty and has been stuck in our minds since Jhené Aiko’s red-carpet outfit at the Grammys.

Checkered Print

This trend may be a little too on-the-nose for Beth Harmon to approve, but it is still fashionable. Checkered print is no longer relegated to solely existing on the race track and chessboard. After being seen on the runway, this trend has finally trickled down to the mainstream clothing stores. To give this pattern a spring vibe, look for it in pastel tones.
