Animal print and tomato red
"Animal print is once again at the top of the fashion food chain this spring," Wark said, noting that includes every print: leopard, snake, cow, zebra print and beyond.
She continued, "With animal print being a timeless print, an easy way to make it feel fresh this spring is by trying it with a trendy denim silhouette like these barrel-style jeans from Abercrombie."
Wark said you can even mix your animal prints. "The key to making it work is to pick one more dominant print and then use the secondary print as an accessory to avoid the items feeling like they're competing," she said.
Since tomato-red is also trending for spring, Wark added a red cardigan styled over-the-shoulder or a red sneaker for a pop of color.
"Style the rest of your look using neutral wardrobe staples to let the print and color pops be the stars of your outfit," she said.
Bubble hems and brown hues
Wark said this spring is all about trying browns.
"When it comes to styling neutrals for spring, a must-try is mocha mousse brown," she said. "It's a universally flattering color -- works on everyone."
Wark styled a brown Aritzia blazer with another style having a major moment: bubble hems. "This is a style of hem you're going to see all spring and summer long -- done in either a skirt cut or, in this case, a dress," Wark said. "To nail this hem, pair it with a structured blazer that is cinched at the waist to create an hourglass silhouette."
Wark completed the look with a saddle bag, which you can find in pastel pink and suede -- both of-the-moment.
Polka dots and the box bag
We'll never not have a polka-dot item ready to style in our spring and summer wardrobes.
"This playful print is another one that, to me, is timeless," Wark said. "A great way to make this throwback print feel 2025 is by wearing it as a crop top and full skirt combo. It pays tribute to a 1950s style but feels current with the fitted top and showing off a touch of skin."
Wark added a statement earring and an appliqué floral sandal for a more formal occasion and said you can also style the look with sneakers and a jean jacket for a more casual outfit.
Don't forget your box bag, which Wark called "another 'it' bag of the season." Switch out your clutch and wear this style for a more modern look.
