With Spring’s new styles just starting to trickle into stores, we’re prepping our credit cards for some serious damage. But before we run out and burn holes in our wallets for pastel layers, printed pants, and peplum skirts, we’re taking inventory of our brimming closets and reassessing our shopping lists.
Read on for what we're ready to toss from our wardrobe—you’ll need room for new, cute wares after all—and what to scoop up for the upcoming season.
-
Into the Wild
Fashion’s new frontier for inspiration has evolved from the quaint country of Little House On the Prairie to something more wild and tribal, like Out of Africa, as seen at Michael Kors and L.A.M.B.
TOSS: Your western-inspired duds. Leave your apron-like dresses, rustic, tiered skirts, and delicate paisley from two seasons ago in the dust.
BUY: Safari-chic pieces. Experiment with bolder animal prints, tribal patterns, and raffia-woven accessories.

Mesh
With mesh, possibilities are endless. It comes in football jersey-like fabric, laser-cut leather, and even crochet-like knitwear, making it one of the most versatile trends from the runway.
TOSS: Lace tops that make you look like a walking doily.
BUY: A basic, open-weave sweater. Worn over a basic white blouse, it injects attitude into a conservative look, while a sheer-sleeved dress also works wonders as a sporty transitional piece when it’s too cold to go sans sleeves.

Birds of a Feather
Last fall, cat-inspired fashion spread from Charlotte Olympia’s feline-faced pumps, to printed dresses at Victoria by Victoria Beckham, and of course the Chanel ads where Freja Erichsen dressed up as a cat, whiskers and all. The next creature that has designers' hearts aflutter? Birds, in slightly kooky, whimsical prints.
TOSS: Cat-tastic sweaters. Nobody wants to be a crazy cat lady.
BUY: Blouses and dresses featuring your new, feathered friends. Bird prints splashed across skirts and dresses at Carolina Herrera and Marc by Marc Jacobs, and fake models of them even perched on a few shoulders at Manish Arora.

Jazz Age
The 70s have taken a back seat to make way for Jazz Age-style, as made popular by Downton Abbey, The Artist, and Baz Luhrmann's upcoming The Great Gatsby film. Designers interpreted the era through flapper-fringe dresses, feathered column gowns, and art-deco details.
TOSS: Groovier suede or leather fringe jackets, bags, and accessories. You could even stash these away for Fall, which has been showing more Southwestern-inspired clothes.
BUY: To get your fix of flapper style, start with a shimmering skirt that Daisy Buchanan would approve of.
