It’s still pretty cold through most of the country, but spring is right around the corner, and in a couple of months, it’s going to start getting warmer outside. There’s nothing quite like those first few days of spring when the air starts to thaw and you can leave your sweater or sweatshirt in the house! To get the most out of spring, it’s best to start shopping now. While Black Friday 2014 is still many many months away, here are some similar deals that will make you feel like it’s November!
1. Spring swimwear
It may still be a little early for swimwear, but start looking for new one-pieces, bikinis, and trunks in the next couple of months. Swimwear is a seasonal fashion, and a lot of shops don’t even stock it through autumn and winter, so spring is the very best time to shop for a new swimsuit. You’ll have your pick of the newest styles before the crowds hit the stores at the height of summer, and you’ll get to enjoy the entire swim season. What’s in this year? Bright, tribal patterns and bold, surprising color combinations.
2. Spring fashions
It’s also time to start stocking up on everyday wear as well as formalwear for spring and summer of 2014. What’s in this year? In terms of colors, stark white is going to be huge. Also expect pale pinks and lavenders to be popular for women, and tans and gold tones to come into style for both men and women. Knee-length skirts are going to be very fashionable this year, especially form-fitting ones. Shorter thigh-length skirts will also be popular. Look for more of those bold tribal patterns which will be gracing swimsuits in women’s wear as well.
For men, a lot of the vintage throwback fashions which started to come into fashion last year are going to continue to be popular this year. Loose-fitting t-shirts with prints will be popular, as will very thin ties.
Pro Tip: Avoid the look that most NBA players seem to be adopting these days. The glasses with no lenses, the strange shirts, the skin tight pants. I am talking to you Russell Westbrook and Dwayne Wade.
3. Shoes
It’s also time to pick up shoes for springtime. It’s a great time to go out and buy a pair of sandals, which will be comfortable and convenient throughout the summer. We’re going to be seeing a lot of fancy sandals for women these days with dozens of straps, as well as other interesting mesh patterns. Stiletto heels will be a big trend. If you like quirky looks, you will have a lot of fun shopping for shoes this spring.
4. Sportswear and equipment
One of the best things about springtime is being able to go outdoors and enjoy the weather. It’s a great time to enjoy spring and summertime sports like swimming, volleyball, golf, fishing, and hiking. That means this is the perfect time of the year to start stocking up on what you’ll need to enjoy your favorite springtime sports and activities. Every year, companies like REI that specialize in active wear host springtime sales. So keep your eyes peeled for opportunities. Consider trying something new this year! If you’ve never golfed, try hitting the fairway. If you’ve never played tennis, invest in a couple of tennis racks. You might even discover a brand new hobby.
5. Beach supplies
Along with your swimwear, you may want to pick up some other supplies for the beach. This is a great time to buy a nice big beach towel, and also to invest in some beach sandals. A beach umbrella can also come in handy, as can a hat (just be sure to pick something that won’t blow off in those strong ocean breezes). Pick up a pail and some toys for the kids, too. There’s nothing quite like a day at the beach to usher in the spring and enjoy the summer.
6. GPS
Spring is a great time to think about purchasing some portable technology. If you don’t have GPS in your life yet, this is a great time to consider investing in a GPS receiver. The newest models have many more powerful capabilities than the older models, but if you don’t need a lot of bells and whistles, you can pick up an older model for under $100. In fact, you can get a used GPS in good shape for less than $50. GPS is great for spring, because this is the perfect time to go exploring. The roads are clear from the never ending snow, parks are starting to open up their hiking trails again, and there is a whole world out there waiting for you.
7. E-reader
Another great investment you can make this spring is an e-reader. E-readers are going down in price, like GPS, and the newer models are capable of a whole lot more than just displaying e-books. You can even watch instant download television programs and films on your e-reader! The Kindle Fire HD, Amazon’s bestselling new e-reader, has a crystal clear display, and offers outstanding performance. E-readers allow you to bring your favorite books and films with you on the go. What better way is there to enjoy the warm spring weather than to kick back with a book in the park or on your veranda?
8. Gardening supplies
This is the perfect time to get out in the garden and the yard and make some improvements. Head to your local hardware store to pick up some tools for your garden shed, and think about dropping by the plant nursery to pick up some seeds for your garden beds. Springtime is perfect for planting flowers, since many flowers bloom during this season. During the summertime, it is harder to get work done in the yard because of the heat, so make the most of the springtime while it’s here.
Springtime is always a great season to get some serious shopping done. That’s one of the reasons that it’s also such a popular time for household cleaning. So go out with the old and come in with the new—stock up on sportswear and supplies for spring and summer activities, invest in some fun spring fashions, and pick up gardening supplies and tools for yard work. Treat yourself to a GPS or e-reader, and get the most out of the spring weather!
