As fashionistas prepare to strut out in style for Spring 2016, it’s clear that the dance floors of Barcelona have officially made a statement on the runways. For the upcoming season of blue skies and spring romance, take your inspiration from the ruffled detail and trailing hemlines inspired by sizzling Spanish fashion. As the Latin influence reigns supreme on the catwalks, here are a few wearable ways to sport this new trend now.

Casual Chic

Even if you can’t escape on the Spanish holiday of your dreams, try brightening an average Saturday afternoon with a tiered white frock (as spotted at Proenza Schouler). For a casual twist on this subtly seductive runway trend, try stepping out in a long-sleeved and ivory-hued dress. The inclusion of subtle side-outs, contrasting black detail and a waist-defining black bow can easily complete the look, while black lace-up flats add a charming touch.

Work Wear

Although the Latina look may be better suited for the dusky evening hours than the glare of daylight, rich red hues can instantly illuminate your work wardrobe. Take your sartorial cues from the Oscar de la Renta catwalk, and embrace a scarlet skirt suit adorned with a floral motif. The brilliant hue and dainty print are both influenced by Spanish style, while a modest mid-length skirt and three-quarter sleeve jacket are a professional spin on the trend.

Evening

If you’re hitting the party circuit on a Friday night, paint the town red (quite literally!) with a flirty crimson number as seen at Michael Kors. To channel your inner Spanish senorita, look for a plunging V-neckline, floral appliqués and a sassy tiered hem. Meanwhile, a skinny belt and chunky black platforms wrap up the seductive yet oddly sweet look. Olé!
