How to Transition Your Wardrobe from Winter to Spring

Spring is right around the corner, but unpredictable weather can make dressing for the season tricky. One day it's sunny and warm, the next it's chilly and breezy. Here’s how to seamlessly shift from winter to spring style while staying comfortable and stylish.

Master The Art Of Layering

Layering can be essential when unpredictable weather is still common during this time of year. Keep your winter base layers, but swap out heavier pieces for lighter alternatives as the days get warmer:

• Trade thick wool coats for trench coats or lightweight jackets like a denim jacket from American Eagle, a blazer from RW&CO., or a duster from Torrid.

• Opt for breathable knitwear like lightweight sweaters and cardigans that can be layered over or under outfits. Shop cute new arrivals from Urban Planet and Boathouse. 

• Try a sleeveless turtleneck from Dynamite paired with a blazer for warmth without bulk.

Introduce Spring Colors & Prints

Darker hues dominate winter fashion, but spring is all about fresh and vibrant colours. Ease into the season with:

• Soft pastels like blush pink, mint green, or lavender. Visit Bluenotes and Garage for basics that will be sure to stay in your closet all season long. 

• Earthy neutrals such as beige, taupe, and light gray. Many options can be found at Below The Belt or Ardene. 

• Floral prints, gingham, or stripes for a seasonal touch. You are bound to get compliments by wearing these prints. Visit H&M and Le Chateau to get the look. 

Transition Footwear Thoughtfully

Who else is ready to ditch their winter boots?! We know boots are a winter staple, but spring calls for lighter options. Make the swap without sacrificing comfort:

• Swap knee-high boots for ankle boots or loafers. Visit SoftMoc to find comfy shoes that will last you for the season! 

• Try white sneakers for a fresh, casual touch. Who doesn’t love a white sneaker?! Visit Foot Locker to shop the latest lifestyle shoe trends. 

Accessorize for Versatility

Accessories can help make the transition seamless and stylish. Plus, if you feel like you aren’t fully ready to give up your winter wardrobe, accessories are an easy way to start transitioning your style for spring: 

• Swap beanies for ball caps or headbands. If you are a sports fanatic, Lids has you covered with new styles or visit Claire’s for adorable headbands that can be paired with any outfit. 

• Opt for structured handbags or woven totes instead of heavy winter bags. Find selections that can be dressed up or down at Lululemon.
