Celebrity stylist June Ambrose is responsible for the A-List looks of stars such as Mary J. Blige, Jay-Z and Mariah Carey, to name a few. Ambrose has her finger on the pulse of emerging trends from around the world. Although winter we're still in the midst of winter for a few more weeks, fashion-savvy women are anxious for spring.
Ambrose shared some inside scoop with Black Voices on what her favorite trends for spring are and where we'll be able to get runway looks for less.

Washed Denim is one of the most popular and one of the easiest trends to replicate. Everyone from Gap, ZARA, Forever 21, and H&M has created versatile looks based on this trend. The washed-denim look encompasses everything from vests, shirts, jeans, skirts, jackets etc. The key aspect that sets the washed-denim trend apart from others is that you might already have a pair of old jean that you thought were too faded or worn lying around. Ambrose told us it's time to dig into the crevices of your closet and bring out your "old" jeans. The washed out, bleached, frayed and faded looks are in high demand.

"Spring is definitely about the grungy and worn denim look," she said.


The Tomboy - This trend allows women to dibble and dabble in androgyny and have lots of fun with their wardrobe. For those of us who are not into the five-inch heels and skinny jeans, this is a look that is sexy but practical at the same time.
"I'm happy about this look because it's relaxed, comfortable and has become the new chic," Ambrose said. "It leaves a lot of room for girls to be demurely sexy."

This look can be translated in many different ways to make some fantastic outfits. The over-sized cardigan, unique bow-ties made out of unique fabrics, and boyfriend jeans are just a few items that will give you the opportunity to turn yourself into a sexy tomboy.
