The stores are stocked with beautiful spring fashions and even though there still might be a bit of a winter chill still in the air, spring is not that far away. Fashions change from season to season and this coming spring is no exception. How can you look 'in' this season, but still look like your own person? Whether you are planning to purchase a whole new wardrobe or perhaps just plan to pick up a few key pieces that will add a bit of this year's style, here's a guide to the hottest spring styles.

Casual dresses for the daytime seem to be the new and upcoming style for spring. They come in all styles from white, pretty florals such as large poppies or other brightly colored flowers along with animal prints such as leopard and zebra. Polka dots are a major favorite of the runway for the spring season as well. These dresses are worn with belts, large, chunky bangles and patent leather shoes. You might want to pair them with beige or white just to lighten up or simplify the pattern. The size of the pattern on your dress (animal print or flowers) should be in accordance to your size (larger prints for taller women). Many of the designs are knee length, but the mini dress is the new style for spring. Don't worry if your dress is long or short, long as it is a dress. Wide legged and baggy jeans and pants are also one of the in styles for this spring (don't worry, if you spent a fortune on skinny jeans, they are still hot).

Little clutch purses seem to be favorable accessory for the spring as well as brightly colored shoes and large bags. Metallics are in for the spring. These can be in the form of accessories like shoes or handbags, but is even seen in clothing like pants and shirts. Chunky jewelry is also in for the spring. Made of different materials such as Lucite and metals, they are a good update if you do not want to spend a whole lot of money on accessories for spring.

Platform heels are in again for spring, but with a twist. The heels have shapes cut out of them! The heels can be cork, a man made material covered with twine or jut. Other than the platform, metallic and bright colors are also popular choices for women's shoes this year. Colors such as bright yellows, lime greens, cobalt blues will be seen on many feet.

Hairstyles have changed slightly for spring as well. "Swoop" bangs are a hot look for the season (these are the type that fall over your eyes) or if you have longer hair, how about a sweeping updo (almost like the 1940's style of wearing hair). The style for spring for hair mostly comes down to a easy to take care of, easy to wear style of hair.
