Ruching is one of our favorite trends this spring and summer. A ruched dress is perfect for a night out, or choose a crop top worn with denim shorts, a ruched t-shirt with culottes or high-waisted jeans, or a ruched skirt. Ruching is a detail that’s both feminine and flattering on the body, so it’s no wonder that these pieces are selling fast this season.

Tie-Waist Pants Are a Spring Trend That We Can’t Get Enough Of

Defining your waist is a timeless styling trick that flatters nearly every figure, and this season we’re loving all of the trousers that come with their own belt to help us do this without searching for a separate accessory. Tie-waist pants are one of our favorite pieces for spring, whether you opt for skinny paper-bag waist pants, wide-leg culottes, or denim. Tuck in a white t-shirt and wear with flat sandals for a relaxed look, or switch to heels for those moments when you want to take your look to the next level.
