Utility dressing is a big trend again for Spring!  Minimalist, chic, and rooted in classic shapes like tunic dresses and even military details are an easy way to look updated this Spring.

Before we hop into the trend for today I wanted to let you know about the Shopbop Spring Style Event!  It begins today and you can receive up to 25% off your order!  I’ll be sharing my favorites tomorrow but there are many included below and in the Spring Style Boutique featuring the Top 5 Trends for Spring!

Utility chic is polished yet modern, and pairs perfectly with gold jewelry and strappy sandals.  Think military and safari-like details, too.  I’ve shared several examples below and a full boutique to help you shop this trend.  You can see the rest of Spring’s best trends in my post Five Spring Trends to Try.

Love this one and done wide leg jumpsuit.  I picked it up at the Paige store in Malibu Country Mart.  It was perfect for our trip and I can’t wait to wear it again!

Safari type detailing is another detail of utility dressing as this shirt dress demonstrates.  Classic shapes and details are a good investment for your staple wardrobe.  I know I’ll wear this dress for many years to come.  This is a take on the neutrals I shared in How to Style Neutrals for Spring a few weeks ago and have gathered a fresh round of this perfect palette for Spring transition.  

Khaki Popover Dress / Gathered Leather Clutch / YSL Espadrilles

I just received this great dress from Brochu Walker, a new to me brand that I love and you have as well.  I love the ease of this dress paired with other neutral accessories.
