“What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today, when human contacts are so quick. Fashion is instant language.”

As they say, first impressions are the most lasting ones; what else than to make a good impression on someone by the way you look. Here are 15 looks to make you look trendier and fashionable for spring 2019:

  1. Graphic t-shirt: As much as we love to put on an effort to look chicer, graphic tee is definitely something you should try for once. A graphic tee goes with literally anything. You can wear it with a pair of mom jeans, or even style it with a denim skirt. For the shoes, you can stick to a classic pair of converse or even some comfy sandals. For a more edgy look, go for black boots and some statement earrings, and you’re ready to go.
  2. Kimono: Originally from Japan, kimono has made some space in the fashion industry. Especially for springs kimono gives you the gleaming look. To style it, you can layer it over a summer dress or even over a tank top and a normal pair of jeans. For the jewelry part, some bracelets and layered chokers would be great. To complete this look, try and wear a simple, comfortable sandal.
  3. Denim on denim: Denim never goes out of fashion. We all have styled ourselves in some denim pants or denim jackets. But try styling both of them together. Layer a denim jacket over a t-shirt and throw in a pair of denim or even a denim skirt. Try it with a pair of boots or converse. To complete the look put ton some statement earrings or neck-piece. A simple and easy way to look trendy is to go for denim on denim look this spring.
  4. Tank tops with palazzo pants: A lot of women definitely own a pair of palazzo pants. Stop wearing it with just kurtis and try pairing it with a tank top. If you’re not comfortable in a tank top, try layering it with a cardigan or even a scarf. Since palazzo reflects more ethnic wear, try and wear some juttis with mirror work for an ethnic look. Throw in some ethnic earrings and bracelets to complete the look.
  5. Vertical stripes: A lot of people avoid wearing stripes. They either go for some patterns or plains. This year, try something new with vertical stripes. Vertical stripes not only are trendy but it also makes you look a bit taller. You can go for a striped one-piece or even a striped pair of pants or maybe a striped romper. Make yourself look fashionable with some stripes this spring.
  6. Pleated skirts: Pleated skirts are an amazing choice for a brunch or a lunch date. It makes you look more fun and gives you the summery vibe. Try pairing it with a shirt or a simple t-shirt or even a tank top. Wear some studded earrings to give you the chic look. To complete the look go for a black pair of heels.
  7. Kurtis: It’s never wrong to go with some mix of your ethnic wear with a western clothing item. Pair your favorite kurti with a pair of fitting jeans. Go with some statement jhumkis and for the feet, wear some comfortable sandals or even try it with a nice pair of heels.
  8. Blazers: For a more defined, work look, wear a plain or graphic t-shirt with mom jeans and layer it with your favorite blazer. To complete the look, put on your leather black boots and a pair of studded earrings to keep things professional. And here you are, ready for your meeting as well as brunch with your friends.
  9. Layering with turtlenecks: If you have no idea how to style your turtleneck for a trendy look, try pairing it with a summery dress, or even a fitting tank top.
