This season's clothing trends span the gamut from classic and demure to bold and spirited.

A big trend this year includes crochet and knit clothing offering vintage charm, coupled with modern updates, according to Harper's Bazaar and Cosmopolitan.

Crochet designs evoke that handed-down-through-the-generations vibe. It's the perfect style and sentiment for what is often seen as a here-today, gone-tomorrow world of fashion to become sustainable.

The lacy, sometimes see-through nature of crocheted clothing are chic, yet practical in their ability to offer cooling comforts in the warming weather.

Monochromatic looks, particularly tones of white, speak to the freshness of a new season and offer an uncomplicated approach to composing an outfit. One color is classy and timeless, according to Harper's Bazaar.

Spring's fashion palette mimics that of nature with pastel hues of blue, violet and dusty pink. Peasant and Bohemian styles abound with detailing such as ruffled sleeves, and scalloped or high-low hemlines.

The season's pastel colors and varied floral prints, always a spring staple, softly signal a warming trend and myriad possibilities in women's attire.

For those with a dramatic fashion flair, try a walk on the wild side that conjures up the excess of '70s fashion.

Do you dare to flare a la yesteryear's-inspired bell bottoms? They are making a wide sweep on runways, clothing sites and store racks.

Fringe is also a bold spring fashion trend as it flits, swings and swishes with a woman's movement. This season, it adorns purses, skirts and jackets.

Finally, tribal-inspired blouses and tunics remain a popular fashion staple in this area. The patterns complement denim and attract attention and admirers.

So, check your closet to see what fresh spring styles and trends you'd like to add to lighten and brighten your mood -and your wardrobe.
