Just because New York Fashion Week has come to a close doesn’t mean we’ve stopped thinking about it. We went back through the shows to pick out some of the major trends for spring 2014. On runways from Diane von Furstenberg to Osklen to 3.1 Phillip Lim we saw ’90s elements, sporty touches, and tons of crop tops, to name a few. Here you’ll find some of the biggest trends for spring 2014!
Crop Tops
Better start on those ab workouts now, ladies. If crop tops seemed like a big trend this summer, just wait until spring 2014. You can flaunt your entire stomach with a bustier-style crop top or expose just a sliver of skin—designers gave us plenty of options!

Cutouts
Designers proved in their spring 2014 collections that just a peek of skin can make an otherwise demure dress so sexy and modern. This spring we’ll see cutouts of all shapes and sizes at necklines, hips, shoulders, and more.

’90s
You’ll want to take a trip back to your parents’ attic before spring 2014—the ‘90s look is coming back. Spring 2014 collections included ‘90s highlights like logos, overalls, slip dresses, and flannel plaid. From Alexander Wang to DKNY, the message is clear that this decade will be one of the star trends for spring!

Fringe
Many models got an extra flounce when they walked down the runways in dresses, pants, and tops adorned with fringe. Some designers used long, thin strands to add a whimsical touch to looks, while others used short, full fringe to add cool texture and dimension to their pieces.

’70s
The ‘70s vibe was present on a number of runways at New York Fashion Week. From The Beatles playing over the speakers at the Jenny Packham show to the high-waisted pants and bow-collar blouses in various collections, the retro style is definitely coming back for spring.
