1. The '70s
Swirls, suede, and tons of embellishment. It's the biggest trend of the season, so you might as well set your Instagram filters to "1977" now.

12. Arts and Crafts

13. Bold Stripes
For once, a spring stripe that's not "nautical." Don't worry, those nautical stripes aren't going anywhere, but lets bask in the freshness of these strong, multi-colors, non-nautical stripes while we can.

14. Fringe
Of course, since the '70s are back, that means fringe is back in a big way too. But fringe isn't all suede and saddle bags. There's plenty of fringe in spring 2015 for the non-bohos to enjoy as well.
