Sleeves are key
Because it's not exactly that perfect spring temperature yet...but don't worry there are are some great, lighter, long sleeved pieces like long sleeve bodysuits, sleeved dresses, and more that will get you there.
Start to incorporate patterns, textures, and colors
Find what jumps out at you and that you gravitate towards. Pieces that feel happy, fun and exciting to freshen your look up for a new season. Think: pastels, florals, linen, that just give those quintessential spring vibes. Balance pops of color pairing with lighter neutrals like creams, light blues, beige, camel colors, and more.
Incorporate lighter layers
You'll probably still be wearing warmer outerwear until later in March but start to think about lightening up this section of your closet.
A lighter wash denim jacket is a versatile layering piece that adds a touch of casual-cool to any outfit. Throw it over a sundress or style it with high-waisted trousers for an effortlessly chic look. A classic blue wash without distress will allow this piece to be the most versatile.
A cardigan is perfection almost year round...with the only exception being those hot summer days/nights. Light sweaters are a great option as well to wear on or over the shoulders. Look for breathable fabrics like cotton or linen blends that provide warmth without weighing you down.
A blazer in a classic camel or neutral shade will give timeless sophistication and added warmth on cool spring days while maintaining a chic and polished look.
Essential pieces to pair with your layers but are just as stylish without.
This includes lighter layering tanks and body suits which we highly recommend per their ability to be worn with most every bottom. The key is these pieces being fitted and not too roomy to pair comfortably under cardigans, jackets, and blazers.
Silky numbers
Slip dresses and skirts, silky camisoles, blouses, sets, and more are go-tos for feminine, chic spring looks that are also breathable and comfortable. These pieces are typically not too fitted and roomy making them comfortable to wear.
Versatile shirt dresses can effortlessly take you work to weekend
We have talked about the shirt dress a lot, we know. but that is because it is THAT GOOD. If you don't have one, try one, trust us. You will never look back.
Fresh whites are hard to well...keep white, but they are an essential for spring/summer!!
Yes we KNOW that they are hard to well...keep white, but they are an essential for spring/summer. The key is finding fabrics and quality pieces that are easy to maintain (and keep white) aka being able to throw in the wash instantly after wearing.
Crochet vibes are cool for beach trips and beyond.
Plus, it is a great texture to try that is breathable.
Striped pieces will give you an elevated, chic, polished, preppy spring vibe
also perfect to take your wardrobe work to weekend
Embrace flowy, effortlessly elegant options
Midi dresses featuring floral prints, soft ruffles, or delicate lace detailing for a romantic and feminine touch. Pair these with ankle boots or sandals for a versatile ensemble that seamlessly transitions from day to night with ease.
A pair of wide-leg trousers strike the perfect balance between comfort and sophistication. Choose lightweight fabrics like linen or cotton for breathability and ease of movement. Style them with a fitted blouse or a tucked-in tee for a polished yet relaxed ensemble that's perfect for any occasion.
Channel effortless femininity with a midi skirt that embodies the essence of springtime elegance. Whether it's a flowy pleated design, a figure-flattering wrap silhouette, or a sleek pencil skirt, midi skirts offer endless styling possibilities for the season ahead. Pair them with a tucked-in blouse and heels for a sophisticated office look or dress them down with a graphic tee and sneakers for a more casual vibe.
Is it even Spring without new spring shoes like white sneakers and sandals?!
No. Upgrade your footwear game with a pair of crisp white sneakers that effortlessly complement any spring ensemble. From casual denim looks to feminine dresses, white sneakers add a touch of laid-back elegance while keeping you comfortable on your feet all day long. Choose a classic silhouette for timeless appeal or opt for trendy details like platform soles or metallic accents for a modern twist.
Complete your spring wardrobe with a pair of oversized sunglasses that exude glamour and sophistication. Not only do they shield your eyes from the sun's rays, but they also add a touch of old Hollywood glamour to any outfit. Choose a classic cat-eye or oversized aviator style for timeless appeal, or opt for bold colors and funky shapes for a modern twist.
Last but not least, comfortable shorts & pants.
We're not in full blown shorts mode so thinking more about pants and will be back to share more on spring shorts. As you transition your wardrobe, consider jeans that move with you and feels fresh for spring (per length, style, shade/wash), versatile jean shorts, comfy shorts and pants that you can wear couch > workout > errands and beyond.
