It's already 2014 and other than writing down your new year's resolutions and cutting back on bad habits, it's also time for you to update your wardrobe!

The forecasted trends for this year may not be so different from key closet essentials from last year, including these must have items which will definitely be your go-to wear in the upcoming spring!

CROP TOPS

Crop tops, or otherwise known as the midriff top, was seen in numerous group concepts last year. Crop tops can be both fun and sexy, but be sure to have those ripped abs ready when you pull off this look. The crop top is also a very versatile piece than can be paired with anything-from skirts, to shorts, to jeggings.

MIDI SKIRT

Last year everyone was sporting that school girl look with skaters. The midi skirt is the longer version of the skater skirt. For the spring, the midi skirt will give you that preppy, girly feel. Spring time calls for a lot of light pastels so be sure to grab your midi skirts in those colours.

SHEER

Sheer anything isn't going anywhere just yet. Because the spring calls for a warmer weather, sheer tops with light fabrics will definitely help you beat out the heat. Sheer tops can also go from day time wear to evening wear, and just like this dress shirt on Tiffany, sheer tops can be stylish and classy when styled the right way.

FRINGE

Fringe clothing and accessories will be all the rage this spring. You can wear fringe on your clothing, on your boots, and even on your accessories. It fits the spring well if you're going for that boho chic look.

EMBELLISHED TOPS

Too lazy to accessorize? Then equip your closet with embellished garments. This type of clothing may no longer require you to accessorize since it is already bedazzled and adding more bling may cause some serious overkill. Embellishments can go from golden studs all over your top or crytals neatly placed on the collar of your dress.

BOMBER JACKETS AND SWEATERS

Yes, even though its spring there will still be those days that you won't be feeling the need to show off some skin. Bomber jackets and sweaters will still be huge this spring especially those with unique and funky designs and made out of lighter materials that won't make you feel like you're in the oven when wearing them. 

FLORALS

Spring... flowers... they're almost synonymous. But yes, whatever year it is florals will always be a spring staple.
