Spring’s almost here in most parts of the country and it is about time to update your makeup bag as well as your wardrobe. Thinking on how to incorporate the latest spring trends in your closet? We have you covered. From structured cube bags to psychedelic and floral prints to vibrant jewellery, there are a plethora of styles to choose from no matter what your aesthetic is. As for must have makeup products, liven up your beauty bag with exciting cosmetics such as gorgeous lip colours, hydrating facial mists and much more.

Read on to find out what spring basics you need to make a fresh start.

Beauty alert

Goth lip colours and red lips are trending this season. Bid adieu to pink lipsticks and swipe on a vampy hue like dark violet or maroon (that looks almost black) instead. It looks totally cool, especially against neutral clothes. If you aren’t bold enough then stick to a classy red lip colour. As for other makeup treasures, make sure to go grab a highlighting palette, such as Too Faced’s new Turn Up the Light palette. Besides, make sure to go for a good quality hydrating facial mist – for example What It Dew Makeup Refreshing Spray by Fenty Beauty – to keep your skin fresh and glowing.

Wardrobe needs

As soon as spring arrives, many of us start stocking up our wardrobes with floral prints. Nothing ground-breaking in that, right? So upgrade your closet by incorporating psychedelic prints. Top designers such as Fendi and Louis Vuitton suggest to go for graphic prints, as they look thoroughly refreshing. Also, we spotted the polka dot trend at various fashion weeks, where designers used the classic print in new shapes and sizes. If you prefer chic yet stylish clothes, then you can also get a classic white button-down. This wardrobe essential can be worn a million different ways, especially in the spring. It’ll also take you through summer.

Shoes and bags

While some pieces are forever classy, there are plenty new accessories that will be essential additions to your wardrobe. This spring season is all about bags made of natural fiber-based materials such as wicker straw and jute. Apart from those, boxy or cube-like bags are a must have this season. As far as shoes are concerned, this spring season invest in a pair of mules – the ’90s style goes with virtually anything. Be it with western or a desi outfit, a pair in a fun metallic shade will work with both.

Jewels and accessories

This spring, renowned designers got playful with colourful gems, oversized statement pieces and standalone earrings. Say goodbye to dainty necklaces, because singular statement necklaces made of clunky materials like oversized seashells or chains are taking over. When it comes to colour, at least with jewellery, don’t be afraid to mix up your stones and metals. The more mishmash, the easier it is to pair with your wardrobe as it opens up the range of shades to coordinate. Though big hoop earrings never go out of style, this spring get ready to see them multiply in size — think thick, gold, and double-hooped for extra measure.

Nail affair

From fresh takes on old favorites to totally new ideas, here are the best and boldest nail trends you can expect this spring. Let your nails take centre stage by going for an instant street-style update with a neon nail colour - think neon yellow, neon green or neon pink. Remember it’s all about having a bit of fun. Also, cosmetic brand Essie has a glittery range called Luxeffects Glitter Top Coat that packs a pigment punch. Choose a base colour that matches your glitter top coat and get your shine on. If you aren’t into glitter nail polishes then opt for a white nail colour – the cold weather might be gone, but your nails will still be iced out.
