The Trendy 2022 Updates to Every Typical Spring Item

Jennifer Camp Forbes  Mon, 28 Mar 2022  Who What Wear

Spring has officially started, and the shopping potential has never been better. With the beginning of the new season, I'm working on a closet refresh that's been a long time in the making.

To aid in this sartorial pursuit, I've been focusing on giving some of my spring go-tos a trendy update. This means taking stock of my usual collection of items, such as sunglasses, lightweight jackets, dresses, sandals, denim, knits, and more. From there, I check in with my mental must-have list of on-trend spring pieces and see which updates excite me the most.

This year, for example, I am setting aside my usual jean cutoffs and opting for longer denim Bermuda shorts. Rather than reaching for my beloved oversize green army jacket, I am excited to try a cool quilted pick instead. One thing's for sure: I am going to fully embrace some great green pieces since I am fully on board with the It color of the year.

Scroll on to see the coolest spring trends to consider for your own closet update this season.

Ruched button-front dresses are having a major moment this season.
