Spring is just around the corner but the fashion is already here. The fickle Mississippi weather already has fashionistas sporting the latest spring trends.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s spring fashion is full, once again, of florals, and bold reds and navy blues.<\/p>\n

As evidenced on models during New York Fashion Week, highlighter yellow and white blouses with deeply plunged necklines are also in, as well as high-waisted jean pants and shorts. Denim and striped patterns are also what is in for the springtime.<\/p>\n

As always, ladies should beware of overdoing the florals and denim on denim attire. This could lead to you looking like grandma came to visit. To avoid these mishaps, always pair lighter denim with a darker denim or wear the exact same shades of denim. And never pair florals prints with different floral prints. The key to floral prints is to have small statement pieces, not an entire outfit.<\/p>\n

Keoka Walker, a visual merchandiser for Target in North Jackson stated that her job requires her to know about the incoming fashion and colors for the popular chain.<\/p>\n

Walker believes that springtime starts a new year where people can define themselves as individuals in different bright colors and floral patterns.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year\u2019s fashion is a little extra to me, but I actually like it; the only things I\u2019m not<\/p>\n

Interested in are the stripes, because they do not look good with everyone\u2019s body type,\u201d said Walker.<\/p>\n

Walker also explained the differences between last year\u2019s fashion and this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast year was all about the different color jeans and boho-chic, along with floral patterns. This year the style is \u2018old-timey\u2019 or \u2018Little House on the Prairie\u2019 styled boho and utilitarian florals,\u201d said Walker.<\/p>\n

Reneisha Evans, a physical education major from Decatur, Miss., feels that spring fashion has not changed since last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cNothing is really going to change between last year and this year\u2019s spring fashion. Florals are still in as well as shorts and maxi dress,\u201d said Evans.<\/p>\n

Spring fashion is not only about the clothing but it is also about the make-up. In the spring, the weather gets warmer and putting too much makeup on will cause a lot of creasing and many retouch-ups.<\/p>\n

This spring you can choose a lighter foundation with a simple eye look and a bold lip or a bold eye colors with a nude lip. The idea of spring is to look fresh and natural.<\/p>\n

Jhasmine Odom, a Jackson State graduate student majoring in public policy and administration, is also a part of Target\u2019s visual merchandising team. Odom, who focuses on the cosmetics, looks forward to spring fashion.<\/p>\n

\u201cBesides the fall, spring is an opportunity to show a sense of style, whether you choose certain outfit combos, makeup looks, or even the colors you choose on your toes,\u201d said Odom.<\/p>\n

Spring fashion is a time for brighter colors and lighter attire, such as dresses and shorts. Whether that consists of stripes or florals or even \u201cold-timey\u201d clothing styles, spring fashion is whatever you make it be. Just be comfortable and go with the flow.<\/p>\n
