Here are 3 new trends how to wear them.

1. Crayon colors: Bright bags and shoes are popping up everywhere, in crayon colors of yellow, pink, green, blue and grape. Bright bags jump off the shelves in bold clutches or large totes.

Avoid looking like a kid going to kindergarten by choosing your crayon colors carefully. An inspired green or yellow bag can still look business like if it has a structured shape. If you work in a conservative industry such as financial services, keep your crayon brights for casual days at the office, and stick to classy looks when meeting clients.

2. Flowers are big this spring, from grown-up floral dresses, blouses and skirts, to accessories such as brooches and hair accessories.

Don’t go overboard, especially for the office. Choose one new grown-up floral, and pair it with your neutral separates. For example, a floral cardigan is great over a simple pair of pants and a top. Or wear a floral dress, but add a solid jacket or sweater on top.

Keep the accessories simple as well. If you wear a floral piece, don’t add floral brooches and hair pieces – that’s overkill.

3. Graphic prints: Abstract patterns are amongst the hottest trends right now. From dresses with geometric designs to floaty tops, you’ll see these eye-catching designs everywhere this spring.

With graphic prints, keep your accessories simple and classic. Find a bag in a neutral shade, or a crayon-box hue that picks up a color in your pattern. Keep the jewelry simple. The dress or shirt will be the main attraction. Eye-catching jewelry is too much.
