As spring approaches, I’ve been keeping a close eye on the hottest trends for 2015 and neutrals are high on the list. While our coats and sweaters are beginning to be put away in our second closets (or under our beds), start pulling out all your neutrals and moving them to the front of your wardrobe. In need of more neutrals? H&M, who finally made a permanent appearance to our city last year, anticipated our answer would be yes and I have happily compiled a list of my favorite neutral staples of the season.

H&M_WhitePants

Black, white, grey and beige. All colors that pair seamlessly together. Who doesn’t love a black and white ensemble paired with some trendy accessories? H&M has an amazing pair of high-waist, white pants that can pair perfectly with any black and grey shirts you already have in your wardrobe. Tuck in your shirt to truly embrace the high-waist trend that I am personally happy has stuck around for another year!

H&M_Sweater

I’m all for short shorts, actually, that’s not entirely true. I’m all for shorts that stay at a length where I don’t have to constantly pull them down as I walk. Because shorts in San Antonio are highly popular and practically unavoidable due to the temperatures some days, I have found that pairing a sweater with shorts keeps me comfortable as well as stylish. H&M’s grey, v-neck sweater hits just below your elbows so you won’t overheat and pairs wonderfully with even your shortest pair of shorts. The combination of the shorts and a loose fitting sweater creates a very sexy look. Feeling daring? Throw on some faux leather shorts!

H&M_Shorts

Speaking of black leather shorts, H&M just happens to have this trending item. Wear casually with a loose, neutral colored shirt (or v-neck sweater) or take it up a notch by tucking in the shirt and wearing heels. Another item I’ve been seeing on the racks is imitation leather, high-waist skirts. I could spend all of my spring days going back and forth between leather shorts and leather skirts because these items are so fashionable on their own that you can pair just about any neutral shirt , or crop top, you have with them.

H&M_Jumpsuit

Wearing neutrals opens a great opportunity to wear some trends you may have strayed away from in the past. This beige jumpsuit features numerous pockets and a drawstring at waist. Pair with a colorful shirt underneath or another neutral and heels. Definitely heels. Jumpsuits are a great alternative to dresses, especially during spring, because you have so much more freedom to participate in outdoor activities without the haunting thought that your dress will fly up behind you.

When H&M opened at La Cantera, many fashionistas lives’ changed and with a second H&M opening at Rivercenter Mall, it’s clear that H&M will become a staple store for us all. Whether you embrace the neutral trend or not, H&M has everything for your spring wardrobe including brightly colored skirts, dresses and shirts! Yes, brightly colored items do exist, and are still encouraged.

We want to know, what’s your favorite neutral trend this season?
