How to Bring Spring into your Style…

Spring is the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe with the vibrant colors of the season. Pastels, floral prints and soft neutrals are reflective of the natural beauty of the season.. The warmer weather is an opportunity to embrace breathable fabrics by transitioning from heavier fabrics to light jackets, flowy dresses and silky blouses.

Spring Color Palette Ideas for a Stylish Wardrobe

This is the time when nature is waking up. Flowers are in bloom and everything is becoming lush and green again. It is easy to be inspired by all of the bright colors, rich tones and textures of nature. The Spring color palette offers a spectrum of hues from yellow, pink, lavender, red, the blue sky and every shade of green imaginable. Incorporate these colors into your wardrobe and play around with them. Embrace different patterns in these colors as well.

Spring Wardrobe Essentials for your Closet

1. Outerwear

Spring is a transitional season, and temperatures can still be unpredictable. For this reason, it is important to wear light layers. Denim jackets of various colors and styles, cropped trench coats and shackets are the perfect outerwear to keep you warm on cooler days and are easy to remove as the day gets warmer. These pieces not only provide functional layering but also add a stylish finishing touch to any outfit. Choose neutral tones like beige, olive, or light wash denim for maximum versatility, or choose pastels and soft prints for a fun seasonal update. Layer them over a midi dress, wide-leg trousers, or a simple tee and jeans combo to create effortless, adaptable looks that carry you from morning chill to afternoon sunshine with ease.

2. Tops and Blouses

Blouses, linen tops and short-sleeve knit tops are springtime necessities for a sophisticated Spring look. These three pieces are springtime staples that offer both style and comfort.  Linen is a breathable fabric that is perfect for the warming temperatures of Spring.  Linen tops can be worn for a casual, more relaxed look with jeans or dressed up for a more polished look with a pair of trousers or a midi skirt. Blouses bring a feminine touch and pair beautifully with cardigans or lightweight jackets on cooler days. Short-sleeve knit tops offer structure while still feeling light and can be layered under blazers or worn on their own with everything from denim to wide-leg pants. These versatile tops lay the foundation for countless combinations of refined and comfortable looks.

3. Pants and Dresses

When it comes to pants for Spring, consider Culottes and wide leg linen pants. Culottes are ideal for Spring with their wide-leg silhouette and cropped length providing easy movement and breathability. They are also made from a variety of fabrics like denim, cotton or linen which are perfect for warmer weather. Spring is a time to also showcase beautiful floral prints and there’s no better way to do this than with beautiful flowy spring dresses.

4. Spring Accessories

Spring accessories are fun and stylish accents that enhance the season’s fresh and breezy vibe. Bring some golden shine to your look by stacking gold plated jewelry. Lightweight scarves made from breathable fabrics can bring a pop of spring into your wardrobe with spring colors and floral patterns. This accessory can be draped around you shoulders as an added layer to your outfit or it can add charm to another accessory by tying it around the handle of your handbag. Espadrilles are a key spring accessory that combines comfort and style. They are a versatile accessory that can be worn with jeans and a blouse for a casual look or with a beautiful spring dress for an elevated feminine vibe. Mix and match these accessories and bring more character to your overall look.

Curating the Perfect Spring Wardrobe…

Styling for the spring season is all about embracing light layers, fresh colors, and breathable fabrics inspired by the season. A well curated Spring wardrobe should include pieces with softer silhouettes like flowy dresses, lightweight trench coats, and relaxed trousers that are versatile and tailored specifically for you. Start with these core basics and build around them by layering different textures with fabrics like linen. Have fun with it and develop a style you will love.
