Geometric Inspiration

This spring is all about taking risks—both with color and with cut. Designers like Altuzarra, Narciso Rodriguez and Caroline Herrara favored architectural pieces with boxy patterns and harsh cutouts to add drama and flair to their collections

Cutouts

The daring look of geometric cutouts has been long favored among the red carpet elite but is quickly making its way into mainstream everyday wear. Brave fashionistas are opting for simple cocktail dresses with geometric cutouts or sweaters with sliced sleeves. The important thing to remember when rocking a cutout ensemble is to always keep things classy. This trend can go from daring and bold to cheap and trashy with a few too many slits. Remember, it's always good for your outfits to leave something to the imagination.

Architectural

Another favorite style for the geometric-inspired fashionista is the architectural cut. Everything from tight pencil skirts to cropped blazers to military jackets is favored this season. It's also a trend that can be combined with other popular spring looks. Pair a boxy jacket with a flowy floral top or a geometric shift dress with a neon belt or heel. Just remember, even though structure is in, make sure to keep everything properly fitted. Jackets or dresses that are too tight or too big can turn a hot ensemble into a quick fashion don't.
