Spring wardrobe staples
When it comes to spring, lighten up and brighten up! It’s time for bright orange, navy blue, cute stripes, and gorgeous florals. Read on for the spring wardrobe staples that will take you far whether you’re dressing for work, weekend or dinner!
Brighten your look when spring arrives and go with pretty-colored collared shirts! (Think hues such as pastel blue, pink, camel or red.) Spring can be a little chilly sometimes so the long sleeves of your button up are appropriate. Plus, this classic silhouette looks so chic when paired with all your spring clothes - such as white or light blue jeans, jogger pants, culottes, mini skirts, or even cycling shorts!

A few boldly patterned pieces add life and color to spring basics! Stores in spring are sure to carry lots of pretty florals. Think of springtime in nature - flora and fauna start bursting to life - which is why wearing them feels so right. Bold stripes which are nautical and fresh are also in abundance! Key spring colors for printed tops include bright orange, blue and yellow. See how to wear blouses.

Oversized sweatshirts are great for springtime. They’re cute and cozy, with just enough warmth to (usually) not require a coat over top. We love how sweatshirts pair with athletic bottoms (leggings or matching sweat/track pants) or more refined bottoms (pencil skirts). Try white or black, or colors such as light green, red, or pink!

The nautical sailor vibe of boxy wide-leg jeans looks so chic in spring! Try these cute jeans in white or shades of blue. This silhouette becomes a versatile basic in your spring wardrobe, pairing with a wide range of cute tops. The boxy cut tends to work better at this time of year as opposed to summer since it’s not so comfortable in sweltering heat. Wide-leg denim gives you enough coverage in the temperate weather of beautiful spring. Wear these jeans with a tucked-in striped tee or go with an equally boxy crop top!

Chino pants are popular again - thankfully, because they’re so cute! Chinos give a preppy and casual-cool vibe to any outfit. Wear chinos casually for the weekend, with tees, denim jackets and sneakers; or dress them up for work or dinner with structured blouses or sweater sets. (J.Crew would approve!) You’ll find chinos to be a springtime go-to for a walk in the park or looking proper in the office alike. See how to wear chinos.

How adorable are long-sleeved, printed spring dresses?? In a midi length, this frock silhouette is perfect in transitional weather! Get some in pretty prints that bring out the happiness of spring - flowers, stripes, and bright colors all fit this frock’s bill. Wear your spring dress with heels for a dinner date or with flats for daytime. Even try layering it over pants (if you dare)! This dress style looks both ladylike and fun!

A matching mini skirt and lady jacket make an absolutely adorable skirt suit for spring! Channel Jackie-O and Amal Clooney in one of these numbers. Skirt suits may make you think of boring, corporate attire, but they need not be drab or worn for serious-occasions-only. Try donning a cute skirt suit for a shopping trip or lunch with the girls! Go with a matching set in tweed, houndstooth, pinstripe, or checked fabric (picturing Clueless, anyone?). See how to wear lady jackets.

There aren’t many clothing styles that are more a staple than a denim jacket, and this includes for spring! Denim jackets are a light- to medium-weight layer that pretty much go over anything. In spring, this transitional topper is so useful because it’s neither the hottest nor the coldest time of year. Denim jackets are super cute in any shade of blue, white, or even fun colors like pink or red! Neutral shades such as white, blue or black combine effortlessly over more clothing, whereas a color such as pink or red can be a real statement piece when worn with neutrals.

There’s a reason why a trench coat is an iconic wardrobe piece. Its timelessness comes from its classic, flattering cut and superb usability! In spring this coat style looks especially appropriate. Many trench coats are waterproof so they are the perfect overcoat in spring showers. Owning one in classic khaki is, of course, great for outfit versatility, but yours can be a color if you like! Why not choose a yellow, blue, orange, red, or pink trench coat? A trench coat in an unexpected color is like giving a shot of excitement to your wardrobe. See how to wear trench coats.

Chunky dad sneakers are all the rage lately! Sneakers are an ultimate springtime shoe because they are kinda in between the boots of winter and the sandals of summer. Break out your chic dad sneakers for spring and wear them with pants, jeans, skirts and dresses alike! For happy spring clothes, sneakers in a lighter color such as white, tan, gray or light pink tend to work best. And don’t forget to regularly add new sneakers to your wardrobe since sneakers tend to show their wear within a year or two (and dirty, grungy sneakers only bring your look down). Keep your appearance updated with clean sneakers!

Is it just us or are rain boots incredibly cute?! Rain boots can be both fashionable and functional. Find a pair of rain boots (or wellies) that’s comfortable so you don’t dread wearing them. When you love yours, you’ll wear them for pure pleasure! And as an added bonus, they’ll keep your feet and legs dry and warm in all those spring puddles. A natural pairing with striped tees, dresses, and trench coats, these cute boots go far in your spring wardrobe!
