Spring Trends: All White

Spring is the season for new beginnings. The flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping and fashionistas everywhere are shedding their winter coats to show off new trends. We decided to split up our Spring Trends blog post into four parts, highlighting on four popular spring trends we are loving.

Today we are focusing on what is a seemingly simple trend, but is bold in a brand new way. And it’s probably something you can do with pieces you already own! Head-to-toe white makes quite a statement in a modern and monochromatic way. We’ve created three outfits to get you all fired up about white-hot looks for spring.

All white outfits may seem daunting at first, but by using multiple separates, you can easily create a modern and sleek look. This textured scuba blazer dresses up a cami and white skinny jeans. Pair this outfit with metallic silver pumps and a floral wallet and you have a great outfit for a fun night out.

Textured Scuba Blazer (Topshop $115) | Ivory Pleat Front Cami (Dorothy Perkins $15) | J Brand 811 Mid-Rise Skinny Jeans (Net-A-Porter $175) | Jowzer D’Orsay Pumps (Nine West $79) | Ted Baker London Floral Bow Matinee Wallet (Bloomingdale’s $150)

We all love a comfortable sneaker. Pair with a girly eyelet dress and the incredibly popular bucket bag, you have a fun spring outfit that is not only chic, but sensible.

All Eyelets On You Dress (ModCloth $69.99) | Converse Chuck Taylor Low Top Sneakers (Macy’s $49.99) | Marc by Marc Jacobs ‘Metropoli’ Leather Bucket Bag (Nordstrom $278)

For a more relaxed look, pair a white rollsleeve top with bermuda shorts and white sandals. Add a pop of color with a crossbody bag and you’re set for the weekend.

White Collarless Rollsleeve Top (Dorothy Perkins $27) | AEO Factory Twill Bermuda Short (American Eagle Outfitters $39.95) | Circus by Sam Edelman ‘Selma’ Gladiator Sandal (Nordstrom $44.95) | MICHAEL Michael Kors ‘Bedford’ Saffiano Leather Flat Crossbody Bag (Nordstrom $178)

What is Raw Denim?

If you haven’t heard of raw denim, you are missing out on perhaps the biggest trend in menswear in the last decade. Raw denim is more of a movement than a fashion trend. Born of DIY culture and eco-friendliness, raw denim jeans and other goods are all about customization and quality.

Basically, raw denim is untreated and unwashed after the dying process. While a lot of modern denim products are distressed with chemicals and sandblasting, which may be hazardous to both the environment and factory workers, raw denim is virtually untouched. The end result is super sturdy, long-lasting denim that you can break in and shrink to your own personal preferences. Plus, you can create your own natural fading and distressing over time for a one-of-a-kind look.

Raw denim doesn’t only come in the form of jeans. This jacket with leather accents is an investment in quality that will last for years to come, which is perhaps the most important aspect of this fabric. You get your money’s worth.

Most raw denim products are selvedge denim. This means the ends are bound and not cut, making them less likely to fray, which also increases the garment’s quality. This selvedge denim jacket is a basic staple piece that can take you into any season.

And of course, raw denim accessories are definitely a thing. Wallets, key chains, even bracelets have been made from raw denim as a way for diehards to wave a flag of pride. This trucker hat is one stylish way to say you rock the raw.

Ebates Fall Fashion Guide

Boots, scarves, sweaters, oh my!

With NYFW in full swing, the Ebates team is sharing their favorite fall fashion trends. We have an excellent Double Cash Back sale featuring amazing deals at fashion forward stores so that you can have a fashionable fall without breaking the bank.

Below are some of our favorite trends that we are looking forward to enjoying through the colder months.

Add a little sparkle to your step with some embellished boots. These natural boots have the tinniest cap toe – adding the perfect embellishment to carry these boots from daytime to night. The studs on these boots scream rocker chic and can add a fun edginess to any outfit. These sleek black booties are the epitome of city chic – smooth leather, great sole, shiny detail. These trendy boots bring the embellishment to a whole new place – part of the heel. With unique details like that, these will surely turn heads.

We can all rejoice that comfort appears to be in season, but with a fun twist. Graphic tees and sweatshirts appear to be having a fashionable moment. This flirtatious shirt would look awesome with a variety or pants and skirts. Throw a white button down or chambray shirt under this foxy sweater – instant preppy chic! Pair this ferocious tee with a statement necklace and black skinny jeans for a polished, rockin look. This versatile tiger sweater can be styled in any of the aforementioned way for a look that is trendy and classic.

One of the trends that we are most excited about is leather or faux leather accents. They add an element of surprise to classic shapes and pieces. This jacket combines two classic coat fabrics, leather and denim, to make one amazing piece of outerwear. This blouse is full of beautiful contradictions – preppy tweed meets rocking leather. This gray vegan option takes colorblocking to a new level. A striped boyfriend cardigan gets taken to a whole new level with leather sleaves.

Another trend we are loving is military inspired. Not just camouflage printed items, but all sorts of military inspired cuts are gracing the storefronts this season. The shoulders of this blouse give a subtle military feel. This blouse is much more bold in its inspiration. It surely will make a statement paired with neutral pieces. This Old Navy coat brings some military inspired colors and shapes at a great price. This vest would make an awesome layering piece as the season changes.

These high top embellished kicks create a great contrast between glam and comfort. The neutral colors make them easy to pair. They may be a bit flashy, but the gold+red accents give these sneakers a rose gold look, a unique hue. These high top denim sneakers are super versatile – easily pair them with black jeans, light jeans, skirts or dresses. In one of the Fall’s hottest hues, these burgundy sneakers have some great bling contrasting laces.

While it overlaps with the military inspired pieces, olive seems to warrant a mention of its own. The dark green color scream cool and chic. This studded sweater is a great statement piece. This colorblock coat is as chic as it comes – the olive is holding its own next to the black and gray. Commit to olive with this comfortable and classic shirtdress. Olive makes for a great alternative to other neutrals when it comes to booties.
