Are the nights getting longer? Has a warm breeze taken the place of the crisp chill in the air? If so, that must mean spring has sprung!
And it is time to start thinking about your spring wardrobe.
Like any good capsule wardrobe, it is a good idea to mix timeless classics you can wear every year with fashion-forward pieces. You need clothing for spring that will work for the changing climate and for many different occasions.
If you aren’t the most style-savvy person, here are some great spring fashion tips!
Jean Jacket
A jean jacket is a must for your spring wardrobe no matter your age or gender. You can wear it over a dress for spring BBQs, for a walk on the beach, or running errands at the weekend with sneakers.
Most are machine-washable which is great for busy people who have zero time for dry-cleaning.
Opt for a light wash with no fades or tears so it is versatile and timeless.
Espadrilles and Wedges
Espadrilles and wedges are the perfect day-to-night shoe that you can wear for any spring event. They are less summery than sandals, but they are still a warm-weather shoe. Wedges are comfier than heels, and if you love flats then espadrilles are a smarter option than sneakers.
They are the perfect in-between footwear which is why they are awesome for spring.
Floral Dress
When presented with a flowery dress, Meryl Streep’s character in The Devil Wears Prada stated, “Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.”
But floral dresses always look so cute! And, despite what Miranda Priestley thinks, they continue to be a popular spring clothing trend.
Light Accessories
Gorgeous spring accessories also make great Mother’s Day gifts. Invest in a straw sun hat, some killer sunglasses, and a light chiffon scarf in case the weather takes a turn.
Scarves are the most underrated spring accessory because they brighten up a plain outfit in an instant.
Clean White Sneakers
Most spring clothing trends look great when teamed with classic clean white sneakers. They are super comfy and nowadays you can wear them with midi and maxi skirts as well as minis and jeans (thank goodness!).
Or, dress them up with a shirt and blazer. Not only will you look great for the office but it is the perfect outfit for after-work drinks with the girls, too.
Plain White T-Shirt
This is a must in any spring wardrobe because it is such a great go-to if you want to wear a patterned midi skirt or pants.
And they don’t have to be boring. Invest in a white t-shirt that has a breast pocket and cuffed sleeves to make it more interesting.
Comfy Culottes
They first became fashionable in the 1960s, but culottes are 2021 fashion staples too. And this is great news because culottes are so comfortable but look so good when styled with a tank top and suede jacket.
Most culottes are ankle-grazing which is perfect for spring.
Keep Your Spring Wardrobe Fresh
You do not need to reinvent the wheel when creating your spring wardrobe. Stick to light colors and fabrics and you will look fresh no matter the weather or occasion.
