2024 Spring Trends at My Melrose

Trending items for spring have started trickling into Melrose stores across the chain. There are so many trends right now; we're here to help you navigate them with some of our top finds in stores and examples of how to wear them. From graphic tees to cargo pants, making Melrose your destination for a new and colorful spring wardrobe will put you ahead of the crowd and allow you to be on-trend and chic without breaking the bank. Check out our looks below for inspiration to shop with.

Graphic tees never go out of style, but pairing them with the right items is essential. If you're unsure where to begin, choose the colors you want to work with. You can use our article on fashion colors as a reference point. Alternatively, you can pick a graphic tee you love and color-coordinate the rest of the outfit. This is one of the easiest tricks in the book.

One of our newest additions to the Barbie shop is the "C Life" Short Sleeve Cropped Barbie Girl Graphic Tee. You can pair it with the white "Chocolate" 14" Ponte Skort and "Top" Platform Lace-up Athletic Sneakers to create a feminine, sporty look that everyone will want to copy. If you prefer a monochromatic approach, swap the skirt out with light flare athletic leggings and the solid white version of the sneakers worn in our original outfit.

We also have two outfits featuring different versions of the "No Comment" Short Sleeve Graphic Tee. Both outfits have a trendy, surfer Cali girl-esque vibe and feature designer duped sneakers. The first outfit showcases plays on the beach theme with sandy-colored "City Girl" Parachute Cargo Pants and "Top" Pleather Two Tone Lace-up Athletic Sneakers. These sneakers are dupes of the New Balance 574. The second outfit has an off-road adventure top paired with grey "Discreet" Loose Drawstring Cargo Pants and "Top" Lug Wedge Two Tone Lace-up Athletic Sneakers. These sneakers are dupes of German Army Trainers and Adidas Sambas.

We also have licensed Disney baseball tees in our juniors' department. Each color is vibrant, printed with a Disney character, and has color-coordinated sporty looks. The red and black "Freeze" Short Sleeve Red & Black Mickey Mouse Baseball Tee can be layered over a white "CTTN Candy" Short Sleeve Seamless Ribbed Knit High Neck Crop Top for more flexibility in your fashion. You can pair these with the "Ikeddi" 11" Nylon Parachute Pants and the red, black, and white "Forever" Pleather Multicolor High Top Sneakers. We also have an icy "Freeze" Short Sleeve Light Blue Stitch Baseball Tee. Depending on your style preference, you can pair this top with an under layer option, such as a white "Full Circle" 8" Seamless Cropped Tank Top. Coordinate these top combinations with the "Blue Republic" Light Wash Distressed Bermuda Shorts and white "Top" Platform Lace-up Athletic Sneakers.

Finally, we have a trending top that features a printed destination. The featured top is the pink "No Comment" Rhinestone 'Malibu' Tank Top. This top gives off a nostalgic early 2000s fashion vibe. You can pair it with the "Almost" 11" Pleated Medium Wash Denim Skort, put a metal belt on it, and slide in the "Soda" 3 1/2" Platform Patent Pleather Chunky Ankle Strap Heels to match.

Yes, we've all heard the biggest news in music with Beyoncé's country music singles "16 Carriages" and "Texas Hold 'Em," which had her hit Billboard No. 1 on the country music charts. With Bey's new break in the country music scene comes a massive resurgence in Western-inspired fashion. It perfectly fits with the rodeo season still ongoing in various cities. With all said, Melrose is not missing the mark on this trend; we have a variety of outfit combinations for the pop girlies incorporating western pieces into their glamorous closets and the country gals looking to expand their rustic style and try a couple of new things. 

First, we've got a metallic "Chocolate" Pink Bow Front Knot Spaghetti Strap Top showcasing vibrant, bright, and shiny color that grabs attention immediately. Leaving the top as the focal point of the outfit, we've paired it with the black "Frenzy" 15.5" Cargo Denim Skirt and "Fortune" Cowboy Boots. Add a metal belt and cowboy hat if you want an all-out look. 

Next, we have a look for the sweethearts out there who love an all-denim combination accompanied by a cute crop top. Match the "Diamante" Hi/Low Denim Shacket with the "Hot Kiss" 11" Dark Trouser Flare Jeans for a complete denim set. We chose a burnt orange "Bozzolo" Short Sleeve Notch Crop Top as a base top and finished the look with white "Fortune" Embroidered Pointed Toe 1 ½" Heel Cowboy Boots.

This all-black ensemble featuring the "Love Tree" Sherpa Lined Denim Jacket as the outer layer is perfect for gals who prefer a monochromatic base layer. These cool gals typically have a trick up their sleeve when the time is right. There are multiple textures involved in this look that make it enjoyable, warm, and chic. You've got the denim in your outerwear, the softness of the "New Mix" 19" Long Sleeve Sweatshirt, with sleek "Chocolate" Black Pleather Wide Leg Pants, and the final touch of sparkle and shine with the gold "Forever" Rhinestone Short Western Booties.

The final look is for the wild ones, gals that aren't afraid of belting out a loud yee-haw and being in the center of a line dance. Of course, there is the chance your bubbly personality lands you a two-step with a tall, handsome country fellow. Our extroverted socialite gals can take notes and wear the red "Papermoon" Mesh Corset Rhinestone Tank Top, "Rebel" 30" Boot Cut Dark Wash Rhinestone Embellished Denim Jeans, and black "Forever" 3" Thick Heeled Rhinestone Booties.

At Melrose, we have our trends in stores. Keeping spring colors and trending fashion pieces in mind, a series of tops stand out within our community. Both tops have the same general design and textured fiber in the fabric; the only difference is whether the top has straps.

In the first slide above, we have the orange "Chocolate" Textured Strapless Butterfly Tube Top with "Wax" 2 1/2 Dark Wash Distressed Fray Hem Denim Shorts and "Forever" 2" Platform Floral Crochet Sandals—perfect for the warm sunny days and maybe even an outdoor festival. Following the first look are the fuchsia "Chocolate" Textured Spaghetti Strap Butterfly Top, "Todays" 32" Light Wash Belted Straight Leg Denim Jeans, and the "Top" Platform High Top Rhinestone Canvas Sneakers. This look is an excellent example of modernizing early 2000s fashion pieces. Take this look from Lindsay Lohan as an example. Instead of a long open cardigan, we opt for an open top with more texture; we raise the rise of jeans to something more mid to high-waisted and no heels. We have trendy crochet sandals and designer duped Chuck Taylor All-Star Lugged Lift Platform Canvas and they are our "Top" Platform High Top Rhinestone Canvas Sneakers.

The final trend we'll touch on has generally been ongoing. We've consistently seen cargo pants remain a hot item to have as a closet staple. What's new about this trend is that the cargo construction meets denim fabric. An example of what our stores have are the "Apollo" 32" 2-Button Light Acid Wash Denim Cargo Jean Pants that are paired with a white "Chocolate" Textured Tank Top and "Top" Platform Pleather Athletic Sneakers. We have other cargo jean styles in our stores you can play with while you shop. We will have more looks to inspire you soon that showcase cargo denim jeans more often coming soon.
