My mom often asks for my thoughts on must-haves and trends. It comes with the territory as a shopping director. I know she typically gravitates toward the more polished looks (I love that vibe too), so I mentioned a range of particularly chic and elegant trends I thought she’d be into.
Yes, these five key spring trends are front-runners for us both because of their versatile and more refined nature. Keep scrolling for visual inspiration showcasing the elegant trends in question. I also shopped out each look in case you, too, want to add one of the looks to your spring wardrobe.
