7 Secrets to Finding Spring Clothing Deals

Spring has finally sprung! Whether you’re planning to jet off somewhere fabulous for spring break or just want to get out and take a stroll in the recently returned sunshine, spring is the perfect time to give your wardrobe a much needed pick-me-up. If your ambitions of new spring fashion have your budget quaking in its boots, don’t fret just yet. Spring generally means flowers and more sunlight, but did you know it also comes with some pretty incredible fashion deals? If you know where to look, spring fashion coupons and clothing sales are ripe for the picking on everything from basics to swimwear. Wondering where to get started? Check out these seven insider secrets and you’ll be on your way to the perfect spring fashion makeover at a price that will make the most of any budget.

1. Join the Club

Staying in touch with your favorite brands simply by entering your email address can mean some serious spring fashion savings. Many stores will reward customers for loyalty or even just for signing up for their email newsletters. Get incredible spring fashion coupons, spring sample sale alerts and exclusive early access to spring clothing sales when you register online with your favorite brands. Signing up for store loyalty programs can also mean that you get reward points for shopping that can later be redeemed for a clothing promo code or freebie. Spring shopping can easily turn into enough points for fabulous fashion savings later on in the year!

2. Take Advantage of End of Season Sales

Mark your calendars! As the seasons shift, stores will usually knock down the prices on the previous season’s apparel and spring is no exception. Many retailers will move into warm weather apparel and swimsuits as soon as spring starts and put their cooler weather apparel on sale. If you happen to live in a region where spring doesn’t exactly equal bathing suit weather, this can mean some awesome clothing deals for you! Stock up on warmer wear or even the apparel that came out in prior seasons that still fits in with ongoing fashion trends and you’re in for a steal!

3. Shop Top Fashion Outlet Stores

If you’re looking for the top brands this spring but don’t want to pay top price, make sure you cash in on the incredible spring clothing deals available at popular online outlet stores. High fashion stores are full of gorgeous accessories and clothes on sale that will have you looking like you stepped out of a fashion magazine without the top fashion prices. Plus, if you activate Cash Back at Ebates at any of these stores, your spring fashion budget will go even farther!

4. Update Your Accessories

Even if you don’t have the cash to do a full spring wardrobe overhaul, updating your accessories and accent pieces can go a long way toward freshening up your look. Give those drab fall and winter outfits a fun spring accessory like a bright pair of flats, some sparkly jewelry or a scarf with a cheerful print. Check out stores like J.Crew for a wealth of fun accents that won’t break the bank and will score you some Cash Back.

5. Cash in on Coupon Codes

When it comes to stretching your spring fashion budget, coupons and promo codes are going to be your best friends. Plus, spring fashion coupons are easy to find if you know where to look! Keeping an eye on the store’s homepage will ensure that you don’t miss any deals, but no one really has time to constantly watch for that spring accessory promo code you’re after. While this is another reason you’ll want to sign up for store e-newsletters, if you’re overwhelmed with emails, don’t forget that you can simply head over to Ebates for a full listing of available codes and sales from all of your favorite online stores. Make Ebates your first stop for spring fashion shopping and never miss out on an apparel promo code or spring accessory coupon code again!

6. Check Out Fashion Blogs to Get the Look for Less

Staying up to date with top fashion trends is fun, but it can mean serious danger for your bank account balance. As you know, some high fashion just isn’t affordable, even with major clothing sales. The good news is that this doesn’t necessarily mean that you can’t get the look you’re after at a great price. The secret? Check out fashion blogs and magazines with features on how to get the look for less. Most retailers will produce similar garments and accessories as top fashion labels, so you really don’t have to spend top dollar to keep up to date. Finding a great deal on the looks you want and getting clothes on sale is a much easier task at a trend and wallet friendly store.

7. Think Outside the Box & Get Creative

Still not finding the savings you’re seeking? Tap into your creative side and make your own spring fashion accessories! Start collecting ideas on Pinterest or your other favorite creative hub and then head off to the craft store! Stores like Michaels and joann.com both have a terrific selection of DIY fashion supplies that can help fuel your projects, like headbands, faux flowers and jewelry essentials. Whether you are adding a little sparkle and a flowery touch to an old clutch or making a bright new statement necklace, you’ll stand out from the pack with your truly unique creation and keep up with spring fashion trends at a fraction of the cost!

4 Spring Shoe Trends Anyone Can Rock

It’s officially time to commence your spring fashion wardrobe overhaul and why not start from the bottom up with a pair or 10 of fabulously on-trend spring shoes? These four shoe trends are daring enough to kick up any look but accessible for even a fashion novice because they can easily pair with basics. Score these and other designer shoes with Cash Back at Ebates and keep an eye out for spring fashion coupons to get an even bigger bang for your buck on runway-inspired looks and accessories.

Laces Out

This is one shoe trend you cannot miss. Lace-up flats, pumps and sandals give you the flirty ballerina vibe with some added structure for edge. These Nine West flats in a creamy neutral can pair with printed dresses and jeans alike.

Go with a print and an accented heel for a really bold statement, topped off with those delicate laces. These spotted flats are perfect for liquid leggings by night, tailored slacks by day.

The popping yellow in these Steve Madden Roebella pumps will make the laces stand out even more, especially when rocked with a midi skirt.

Block Party

Block heels are a big part of the larger 70s retro fashion trend, but don’t be fooled by their perceived heaviness. Styles like this slingback boot use cut-outs and peep toes to stay on the spring style tip.

A solid bright pair like these Style & Co. sandals will give you plenty of mileage and can easily wear for both casual and work outfits.

Because block heels are large and in-charge, they are the perfect vehicle for embellishment to create a small yet bold accent. These Miu Miu sandals look fabulous with a sleek black jumpsuit.

Technicolor Dream

Spectrum colors in both straight-up rainbow arrangements and popping prints are taking over the spring shoe market. These suede peep-toe booties will certainly turn heads.

A daring play on spring florals, these abstract-print pumps are fruity and flirty. Easily pair with cuffed jeans or a white tank dress.

These art-deco flats feature a strong dose of spectrum color but their allure comes from graphic stripes and a fashion-forward structure.

Sleek and Sporty

Oxfords and loafers with a sporty heel are an easy way to make an instant statement. These pastel oxfords feature a slight platform and wedge that would easily complement a midi pencil skirt for a nod to 90s style.

Add some swing to your step with these menswear-inspired creepers. The key with a chunky shoe is to stick with a slim leg silhouette like a fitted skirt or skinny jeans.

These perfectly perforated oxfords have the look of a running shoe with some sophisticated touches thrown in to create a daring daytime look.

Spring Trends: Spice-Market Colors

Reds, olives, chocolate browns, burnt orange and of course mustard–these are the spice-market colors that create one hot spring trend. While these rich shades may remind you of fall, they can easily be carried into the spring months with the right styles.

This rusty red dress features bohemian embroidery and pairs perfectly with a mustard bag. A gold necklace and nude t-strap sandals give the look a modern touch.

Sarkoz Pima Cotton Sundress (Peruvian Collection $149) | Peach Corded Collar With Gold (Dorothy Perkins $14)| Ukie T-Strap Sandals (Nine West $69) | Jerome Dreyfuss Anatole Mustard Leather Shoulder Bag (Forzieri $1,025)

For the office, a mustard dress in a killer, structured cut will turn heads without being over the top. Marbled chocolate pumps and some subtle prints in the bracelets and bag turn this into one fierce daytime outfit.

Spring Trends: New Bohemian

As we continue our look into popular spring trends, we are shifting our focusing on a more romantic look channeling the 60s and 70s. The new bohemian style focuses on soft floor-sweeping dresses, vibrant prints, and soft pastel hues. Think hippie-chic with a modern twist. We’ve created three looks to channel peace, love, and happiness.

New bohemian features bold patterns and fun transparencies. This chevron stripe ombre maxi dress features both of those with a beautiful color combination. Pair this dress with simple, yet chic brown sandals with a fun gold detail and a matching drawstring bag. Complete the look with a woven headband – this one has similar colors to what is in the dress!

Ruffle Top Chevron Stripe Ombre Maxi Dress (Maurices $44) | Steve Madden ‘Rillie’ Two Strap Sandal (Nordstrom $59.95) | The Point Drawstring Bag (Lucky Brand $198) | BP. Woven Chain Headband (Nordstrom $12)

While pastels are popular this spring, you can still rock some darker colors with the new boho trend. Pair a crochet baby doll dress with a paisley kimono for a soft look with a bit of edge. Accessorize with a black floppy hat (perfect for sunny days) and these nude t-strap wedges.

Tiered Babydoll Dress with Crochet (Maurices $39) | Black Paisley Print Kimono (Dorothy Perkins $49) | Black Felt Floppy Hat (Dorothy Perkins $25) | Vince Camuto Mathis T-Strap Platform Wedge Sandals (Macy’s $119)

Prints are huge in bohemian fashion and if you remember, mixing prints is also huge this spring. Pair a patterned maxi with a simple tank top that has minimal prints for a great spring outfit. Accessorize with simple white sandals, geometric bangles, and wire ring.

Chiffon Tank with Double Straps and Embroidery (Maurices $29) | Element Essie Maxi Skirt (Backcountry $39.45) | BP. ‘Mantra’ Flat Thong Sandal (Nordstrom $49.95) | Bangle Set (Lucky Brand $41.30) | Alex and Ani ‘Providence – Endless Knot’ Expandable Wire Ring (Nordstrom $48)

Spring Trends: Mix, Don’t Match

While color blocking may have been all the rage to make a bold statement a couple of years ago, mixing prints is definitely the new daring. Before you dive into this fashion-forward trend, just heed a few pieces of advice to make sure you pull off a hot look and not a hot mess.

When you have a printed top and bottom, bring in some neutral accessories to avoid overdoing it. The woven bag in this outfit gives the clothing center stage but has it’s own subtle detail that makes the complete look very chic.

Leaf Print Tunic (Topshop $90) | Striped Midi Skirt (Topshop $60) | Alexander Wang Sandals (Saks Fifth Avenue $525) | Bottega Veneta Bag (Saks Fifth Avenue $3,750)

Stripes in any color are perhaps the easiest print with which to pair. Plus, they can be dressed up or down. This outfit is breezy and chic with printed joggers, chunky wedges and an oversized tote.

Billabong Turn Away Pant (Backcountry $44.95) | Hurley Tank Top (Backcountry $29.95) | Steve Madden Wedges (Onlineshoes.com $79.95) | Oversize Tote (Karen Millen $499)

When you’ve got a large area of print going on and you want to play it down for daytime, a sleek black or neutral blazer is your go-to. Plus, printed shoes are always an easy way to experiment with prints.

Nieve Dress (Reiss $320) | American Vintage Blazer (The Hut $199.95) | Bella Vita Leona Heels (ShoeBuy $99.95) | Soho Bracelet Set (Macy’s $58)

Prices and Cash Back percentages are subject to change.

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)
