Katie Maloney on the Best (and Worst) Spring Fashion Trends

Spring has finally sprung, which means it's time for a fashion update! And lucky for us, Katie Maloney is giving tips on how to ditch your cold weather wardrobe for more fun and flirty looks.

Three trends she's really into at the moment? "Right now I'm loving fringe. I think I recently bought three fringe pieces," she reveals to Fox News Magazine. She's also spicing things up with patterns. "I often stick to black and grey but I love bold prints, like polka dots and floral," she says. Last but not least? "I've also been loving flared and wide-leg pants. To me comfort is key, but it still has to be stylish."

As for staples every girl's closet needs, Katie's got you covered. "A tailored jacket because it can make jeans and a t-shirt look effortlessly chic, and it can also look smart over a little black dress," she says. "Speaking of LBDs, make sure you get one that fits perfectly and is comfortable—it works for any occasion."

The SURver is also being brutally honest about some trends you should avoid at all costs. "Wedges need to go away. I don't mind a classy wedge, but cork-wedge sandals are the worst," she says. "Bodycon dresses are very played-out these days as well. Finally, dresses with cut-outs—I cannot stand them! If you must show midriff, wear a two-piece high-waist-and-crop-top outfit." Sounds like Scheana Marie would agree!

Finally, if you want to go bold, just remember to keep it balanced. "I love bold patterns, but they should be worn minimally," she explains. "Let [bold prints] be the centerpiece of your outfit. For instance, if you want to wear a patterned skirt or pants, wear something simple on top and keep accessories to a minimum."
