If your closet hasn’t caught spring fever yet, it’s time to break free of winter’s cuddly comfort zone and step into the sun. Whether you’re saturating your wardrobe with sunset hues or swapping your snow boots for sandals, jumping into spring break style means adopting the season’s sense of adventure. In other words, it's time to try your hand at spring's trickiest trends.
We've partnered with ASOS to curate a handful of break-ready looks that combine all the best parts of spring style (think: relaxed retro influences and eye-catching textiles). Sure, patterned clothing sets and one-piece swimsuits may seem hard to pull off, but with a few styling secrets, you’ll find that they fit right in alongside your mom jeans and crop tops.
So with all the cool options, where’s a day-tripping, pool-lounging, spring break style lover to start? First, it helps to channel those laidback vacay vibes and make each look your own. After all, insider styling secrets can help you tackle plenty of trends, but it’s your devil-may-care attitude that will pull together any fashion endeavor — and that's guaranteed to go with everything.
Trend 1: Matching Sets

If it’s been a hot minute since you last donned coordinating sets, the key is to simply keep comfort front and center. Because a matchy-matchy look can seem a little "put-together," balance the dressiness with a laidback fit. This pairing of baggy shorts with a breezy top is a match made in sartorial heaven. Plus, streetwise sneakers and dark shades toughen up the sherbet-colored style.
Trend 2: One-Piece Swimsuits

The one-piece swimsuit is a certifiable spring staple, but just because it’s ubiquitous doesn’t mean it’s so simple to sport. The styling secret? Wear it loud and proud — whether yours is decked out in stripes, florals, ruffles, or dots, make a statement, and do it on purpose. Let the one-piece become the focal point of your look, pairing it with a bright pair of sunnies, sandals, or even a sarong.
Trend 3: Pom-Poms & Tassels

Spring has everyone feeling festive, and what says "vacay state of mind" better than an armful of colorful tassels? While you’ll find them bedecking everything from tote bags to swimsuits, a bell sleeve lends itself remarkably well to the look, so you can edge into the tricky trend while wearing a breezy silhouette you’re likely already familiar with.
Trend 4: Nautical Details

When the sun’s up and the surf’s calling your name this spring, it’s natural to get a little nautical. But taking style inspo from sailors can feel costume-y at a certain point, so it helps to start small. Subtle rope accents — like those featured on these knotted cork block heels — ensure you’re embracing a seashore vibe without going overboard. Style these with a loose-fitting sundress for a dinner, or cropped jeans and a slouchy tee for brunch.
Trend 5: Jumpsuits

Jumpsuits are a stylish cross between dressy and casual, which makes them the ideal style investment for a transitional season. But their versatility can be a little overwhelming, if you’re not sure which way you want to take your look. Channel easy elegance with a plunging neckline and simple sandals ideal for a sunset drink, or slip on your sneaks and layer a tee beneath to run errands in the morning.
