Spring is a time of year when flowers reappear, nature returns to life, and new fashion trends make their appearance. The spring of 2013 holds a number of different looks and styles, from biker chic to seventies retro. Runways are already filling up with the fashion styles that are going to be ‘in’ this year, so there’s no better time to start thinking about adding a few things to your wardrobe. While bell bottoms and patterned dresses will be large components to women’s fashion this year, ladies tops will make a statement as well. Choosing tops that are in fashion and look great is important, so understanding the next year’s fashion trends is vital to keep yourself looking current and sexy.

The look of the seventies is coming back in a big way for 2013, and the popular ladies tops for the year will reflect that. Lace will find its way into many a top, and the retro look of crotchet and macrame tops will be a mainstay among fashion lovers. Not the sloppy homemade type, either. We’re talking intricate, luxurious designs. Cool, sexy, and retro, these tops will compliment a wide range of outfits and accessories. Earth tones, creams, browns, and oranges will be leading colours for crotchet and macrame tops as they lead the charge of hippie chic fashion this year.

As the weather heats up, keeping cool while looking great will be important. While halter tops and t-shirts will always have their place, one of the most popular ladies tops this year will be crop tops. Whether used to highlight the aforementioned hippie chic look, compliment a sporty look, or to add sexiness to a sophisticated, stunning outfit, crop tops will be big this year. The midriff baring tops won’t necessarily show off too much skin, either, which makes them more accessible to women who aren’t ready to show off their stomachs. More dignified cuts that show off only a bit of skin will be commonplace over the spring, and crop tops will be more popular than ever.

Colours and patterns will differ depending on the top and the look it compliments. As mentioned, crochet and macrame tops will likely stick to more subtle, earthy tones. Crop tops will vary widely in both colour and pattern, ensuring that you’ll find one to match any look. As for blouses and other classic ladies tops, stripes will continue to be popular. Nautical themed colours will be a large trend in striped tops this year. And the bright, vivid colours and flamboyant patterns that many associate with spring will once again be seen across the country. No matter what your personal tastes may be, the fashion trends of 2013’s spring will ensure that you’ll find tops that are stylish and look great on you.
