Target Spring Trends
Hot Spring Fashion Trends at Target
Target has seriously upped their fashion game in the last few years. They have all the hot trends for the spring season, at an affordable price! In fact, certain outfits have gone viral on social media, and are already sold out! You’ll want to scoop up these popular items before they go out of stock too!
I definitely hit the BULLSEYE finding these adorable Target Style trends:
Sleeves, Please!
TARGET faux Leather Balloon 3/4 Sleeve Blouse | TARGET High-Rise Skinny Ankle Pants | TARGET Calf Hair Animal Print Belt | Sam Edelman Animal Print Ballet Flats | Amazon Sunglasses
It’s still all about the sleeves this season! That’s clear in the blouses, tops, and dresses I’m sharing with you in this post. Everywhere you look, you’ll notice puff sleeves, bell sleeves, balloon sleeves, and exaggerated shoulders with ruffles.
Suzy’s Style Tip: The secret to sticking with this sleeve trend for women over 50 is to keep it small! We don’t want to completely head back to the 80s! 😂 (Or maybe we do! How were the 80s for you?!)
Detailed High Neck Blouses
TARGET Floral Print Puff Long Sleeve Tie Neck Blouse | Spanx Perfect Black Pencil Skirt | Pink Opal Illusion Earrings | Silk Roses
Thanks to Zoom, sweet shirts with tiny neck ruffles, smocking, bows, and other detailing around the collar are really popular. They elongate the neck (think ballerina!) and elevate a boring blouse! (It’s off the subject, but if your aging neck is driving you crazy, you can try THIS device. I just bought it and I’ve only used it a couple of times, but am already amazed at the difference!)
Suzy’s Style Tip: For blouses with bows, keep it casual by leaving the tie undone.
Midi Dresses
The always classic Midi dresses are back again! This spring, tiered midis are especially popular. I love how comfortable, light, and airy they are, making them perfect for the hot summer months! All dresses are 20% off right now!
Suzy’s Style Tip: Tiered dresses are universally flattering. If you want a more fitted look, consider adding a belt!
Other Favorite Dresses
TARGET Long Sleeve Polka Dot Sweater Dress (20% off right now!)| Sam Edelman Black Faux Suede Boots | Kendra Scott Earrings | Pre-Owned Louis Vuitton Handbag
I can’t believe how fast some of these dresses are selling…but then again, I can—because they’re adorable! Typically, Target offers lots of different colors and patterns to choose from, so you can easily select the perfect dress. Hurry, before they sell out! All dresses are 20% off right now!
Suzy’s Style Tip: See what I mean about the sleeve trend?
Flats, Baby!
Thank goodness that comfort is IN! White sneakers are still huge, and I am so happy about that. Mules, slip-ons, and two-toned ballet flats are especially big for spring! As we’ve researched the styles for 2021, we’re seeing a reimagining of the classic ballet flat. Looks for updated tweaks like pointed toes, laser cut outs, and platform soles. They elongate the line of the leg and pair perfectly with the dresses above! If you need more support, you can always add a Dr. Scholl’s insert made just for flats.
Suzy’s Style Tip: To elongate the leg line even more, opt for a nude color and avoid shoes with ankle straps.
