Drop Waist

google

Drop-waisted dresses are basically dresses where the bodice actually reaches the waist. I myself just recently learned that is style is originally from the 1920s flappers. I highly admire the sophistication, glamour and style of the 1920s. Although drop-waist can be elegant, beware of your body type. It's not for everyone. Drop-waist is better for women with very straight, square bodies, basically boyish figures. If you have broad shoulders this look can also be useful, because it will emphasize your waist instead of your shoulders. Also if you have a petite frame or body type and would like to add more curves, drop waist is for you. Beware however, if you are heart shaped -- I'm heart shaped, basically if you have a medium sized waist and bust size, but have very slender legs. You're more slender on the lower half of your body, like how a heart or an apple narrows at the bottom-- or if you're very curvy, or a plus size girl. The drop waist will cinch your waist in a bad way, and result in muffin top, or in my case make you look two sizes bigger than you actually are. Drop-waist is something I personally don't invest in because it doesn't suit my body type, so be aware of your body type.

Assymetric Hem

This look is basically exactly what the title says an assymetric hem, which means a hem that is cut unevenly or an a slant like in the Selena Gomez picture below. This is a great trend for heart-shaped, petite, tall, broad-shouldered or boyish-figured girls. However if you already possess voluptuous curves, or larger or more muscular legs you might want to reconsider this look; or at the very least make sure you find the right assymetrical hem for your body. Remember don't be a fashion victim. No matter what size you are there's some things that aren't for everyone.

Peplum

Peplum is a new style that I actually discovered this season. The best way to describe is that it's a blouse that is cinched at the waist with pleats. Peplum does a couple of things. It cinches your waist, and it creates curves. Since it gives you extra curves, if you're already possess beautiful curves, are curvy yourself, or have a larger figure this is a look you might want to pass up. However if you have a boyish figure with no curves, or a petite frame that is also lacking curves, or have a heart-shaped figure and want to accentuate your waist then peplum might be for you. You can pretty much pair peplum with most things, but don't pair it with a baggy loose, or flowy skirt. You might have a proportion problem on your hands, and proportion is very important.

Trends for Everyone

Most of the trends for spring are things that basically everyone can wear because they consist of a lot of prints which everyone can incororate in some way, dresses, purses, shoes, bags etc. But my best pick for everyone would be mad prints. Unless you have a closet full of complete solid color items, most of us possess a few prints, and if you don't now's your time to invest in some. Incorporate prints into your t-shirts, backpacks, flats, and even your shorts. Also my close second pick was a bright day dress, which is any casual dress in a bright color. So find a bright colored dress that suits you and you'll also be right on trend. Enjoy spring, because spring has sprung! (Well for Canadians maybe not literally...:)
