11 Biggest Spring Fashion Faux Pas

The sun is shining, flowers are in bloom, and birds are chirping. You know what that means... it's finally spring! As you ready your wardrobe for the warmer weather, don't let a fashion faux pas or two ruin your look. Use these tips and tricks as you spring forward to make sure that you don t fall back into bad fashion.

Faux Pas: Pairing a winter coat with your spring wardrobe is not the way to go when it gets chilly in spring. Even on the breeziest of days, winter woolens are way out of season.
Fab Possibility: Staying warm is a breeze with a beautiful spring jacket, like a Short Trenchcoat.

Faux Pas: Covering up your curves in last season's tunic tops. This season, form-fitting is in, so send your oversized shirts to storage!
Fab Possibility: Flattering and shapely clothing like these too-cute Safari Shirtdresses.

Faux Pas: Dark and dull colors do not make for a stylish spring wardrobe. Avoid browns, blacks and dark blues when possible.
Fab Possibility: You'll brighten every room when you wear lovely spring colors like these bright-hued Jones New York Crinkle silk halter dress .

Faux Pas: Wearing sandals without having had a recent pedicure is a huge faux pas. After an entire winter of staying under wraps, it s easy to forget to take care of one's tootsies.
Fab Possibility: You don't have to break the bank to keep your toes in shape. For half of the cost of one professional pedicure, pick up a bottle of OPI Classic Shades Nail Polish.

Faux Pas: Clothes covered entirely in sequins are not stylish for spring. All that glitters isn't good for spring fashion, and it s time to let the sun outshine your shirt.
Fab Possibility: Savvy springtime fashionistas keep their sparkle limited, as shown in this Sequin-Hemmed Dress, which has just enough pizzazz.

Faux Pas: Simple solids are boring and blah. Plain clothes do nothing to put a spring in your step!
Fab Possibility: Go for unusual prints and patterns, like the one on these Print Knit Dresses, which is sure to get you noticed in a crowd.

Faux Pas: Super-high heels are too formal for most spring frocks. Besides, who can run on the beach in stilettos?
Fab Possibility: Fun flats like these slingback flats, which will keep your feet happy and your outfit sporty and in style this spring.

Faux Pas: Tiny purses leave no room for beach towels, sunglasses and all the accoutrements of springtime. Pocketbooks are one accessory where bigger certainly is better this season.
Fab Possibility: With this colorful large tote bag, you'll be large and in charge of everyone's keys when at the beach!

Faux Pas: Just like darker colors, dark jeans aren't as stylish in the springtime. Save your darker denims for nighttime events when the weather is warm.
Fab Possibility: Perfect for warmer weather, white wash jeans just scream spring!

Faux Pas: Low-rise jeans aren't in demand this season. Regular waistlines are, indeed, coming back to cover up your backside.
Fab Possibility: Waste no time getting back into more comfortable, high waist jeans.

Faux Pas: Oversized sunglasses are totally last season. Hooray- the insect-eyed look is finally out!
Fab Possibility: An old-school feel paired with circular frames is what s in this year. Check out these wonderful Emilio Pucci Vintage Round Sunglasses.
