Culottes Trousers Unflattering length? Wrong. When worn with a simple pump and razor sharp blazer, culottes can look super chic. A high-waisted version is the most flattering option because it will accentuate your shape.

Oversized Jackets
2 of 5
An oversized jacket can be overwhelming but you just need to pair it with more form-fitting pieces underneath. To avoid being swallowed up by a voluminous jacket, wear it with a simple tank and shorts. But keep the jacket open to avoid any rubbernecking.

These statement-making shoes have been on the runway for a few seasons but we never see enough of them on real people! Balance out the chunkiness with a flowy, feminine dress or skirt. Or sport them with a pair of your favorite boyfriend jeans and leather bomber for a cooler and edgier look. Take a sweater and wear it as a scarf if you’re feeling a little chilly.

Matchy Printed Sets
4 of 5
Scared of being too matchy by wearing a printed set? Don’t be, if anything it could be the coolest and funnest look in your whole wardrobe. The key is to stick with simple and neutral accessories to help tone the look down. Also, adding a classic piece such as a denim jacket or cardigan can help alleviate the print, but elevate the look.

High Waisted Wide Legged Pants
5 of 5
Skinny jeans are fine for the weekends, but we’re loving spring’s new roomier pant silhouette. It adds a glamorous touch and they also make you look taller and your legs look leaner. When the pants are high-waisted and flow all the way down to your tippy toes, it gives an illusion of having legs for days. Who doesn’t want that? Pair them with a form fitting top or cropped jacket to balance out the ensemble. Mango Trim Boucle Jacket, $60, mango.com H&M Wide-cut Pants, $50, hm.com J.Crew Merino Wool V-Neck, $80, jcrew.com Ted Baker Distinguish Rose Crosshatch Crossbody, $188, asos.com Mango Stiletto, $70, mango.com
Yes it’s cold out and gray out there, so why not take advantage of being stuck indoors to really take a cold, hard look at your closet? While you’re getting rid of pilled sweaters and those skinny jeans that are just a bit too skinny these days, think ahead to sunnier spring days. We’ve selected some of our favorite runway trends and though some of these looks may fall into the “man-repelling” category, trust us. You just have to feel confident to pull them off. Say it loud and proud with these daring numbers.
