I’ve lived in Los Angeles for over thirteen years—so it’s safe to say I’ve adopted a good deal of Angeleno customs—a green juice and iced vanilla latte a day, weekly hikes, and regular sweat yoga sessions come to mind. This also holds true of my fashion choices—denim (and leggings for that matter) are essentially second skin, I wear sandals year-round, and a leather jacket is the warmest jacket I ever need to own.

As a fashion editor, I’m always keeping my eyes on the trends L.A. girls are embracing from season to season, and today I’m sharing what styles are about to dominate this spring—or most likely before that thanks to our year round warmer temps.

From open back dresses (perfect from brunch to beach) to the comfy shoe trend easy to wear with everything in your closet, below are eight best spring trends I predict L.A. girls will love.
