Maybe If We All Wear Spring Clothes It Will Feel Like Spring

It’s moderately warmer out! Celebrate with the flowing trousers and lilac accents that have been trending since New York Fashion Week.

Days after the spring equinox, the chill of winter is finally lifting. Sort of. Enough, at least, to finally start indulging in the spring trends introduced last year at NYFW, when Derek Lam broke from the skinny-jeans craze with wide-leg trousers and Narciso Rodriguez proved that crop tops are here to stay (for now).

In celebration of temperatures reaching just above the high 30s, we’ve put together an on-trend outfit perfect for warm(ish) days.

The Look

Billowy trousers and lilac are two of spring’s top trends. But to keep the combination from being too soft, pair them with this embellished bomber jacket and raw-edged scarf. Cropped pants aren’t as elongating as the ubiquitous skinny pant, so fake extra height with these subtly textured pumps. If heels really aren’t your thing, slip on some sleek d’orsay flats instead.
