Spring Fashion 2020PREVIEW
By Kristin King
It’s here, ladies. The coveted time of year that allows us to shed our layers and embrace the warmth of a new season—spring! With a change in season comes a change in our wardrobe. Time to trade in those winter coats for shorts and flowy dresses. We spoke with local fashion experts Emma Metcalf, owner and stylist at Lyn-Maree’s in Auburn, and Sue Johnson of Susan’s Fashions in Fort Wayne, to see what trends we should be looking for this season. Here are some of their thoughts on spring must-haves.
Spring Leather
Although the warm temperatures may discourage you from a leather jacket, lighter material options are available and look great in soft, neutral colors like a warm, buttery brown or a simple white.

Wide Leg Bermudas
Another piece of fashion from the past that Metcalf said “will be making a great come back. They are comfy and look great with a tucked in, knotted or shorter top and easily paired with heals or flats.”

High Waisted Shorts
Flattering and reminiscent of vintage fashion, we’ll be seeing a continuing trend of high-waisted shorts in styles like paper bag and hot pants. These shorts look great with a tucked in top and some flats.
60s Style Prints, Geometrics & Polka Dots
It’s okay to be a little whimsical with your wardrobe from time to time. Let your personality speak with vintage prints and polka dot tops and accessories. It’s always a “great way to add something a little extra,” Metcalf noted. While Johnson mentioned that geo metric prints and “splashes of color” will be taking over our spring tops and accessories, as well.
Vests & Blazers
Along with spring leather, we’re seeing a return of blazers and vests as layers that really help an outfit pop. Create a fun mix of casual and classy by pairing a lacey top with a velvet blazer or use a vest to pair with a long, flowing dress. Metcalf’s tip for getting the right fit for your body “is making sure that the bottom of the vest hits you at the smallest part of your waist or below your hips.”
Neon & Bright Colors
Johnson said that we will see quite a bit of neon coming back as we introduce more color into our wardrobe. The best way to incorporate this is with “a sweater with neon orange, pink or yellow in it, or a tennis shoe with a touch or trim of neon on them. It could even be an earring or a small handbag,” she said. She noted that we will also see a push for brighter colors in tops and jackets.
Black & White
Color may be taking the forefront of fashion but black and white remains a classic staple. Even pairing bold tops with “black or white bottoms makes for a real statement,” Johnson said. “It’s always fresh and sharp for spring.” a
