You may not be able to tell from January’s frigid temperatures but Spring will be here before you know it (we promise!). So, obviously, it’s time for a wardrobe refresh! Get started on stocking your closet for the upcoming months by seeking out the trends that lit up the Spring 2013 runways. Check out some of the top trends from our fave designers that we just can’t wait to wear – and get the look (for way less!) 

Forget dresses and skirts, this season designers are making a statement with daring, notice-me-now pants. From Diane von Furstenberg’s brightly colored palazzos to Moschino’s graphic numbers, the message on the runway was loud (literally!) and clear: This season it’s all about ‘wow’ pants. 

Printed or bold trousers can be tricky to pull off, so we’d recommend embracing this trend’s simpler, more practical cousin: The statement jean. Whether you go for a pair in a mega-watt shade, or fun graphic design, you’ll be sure to look casually cool – and super on trend. 

November is nearly halfway through, which means that holiday party invitations are starting to fill up your inbox. The big question: What are the trends of the season and how can you get them all in one outfit without looking like an overdressed Christmas tree? Don't worry – French Connection has got you covered. Check it out below.
