Spring is around the corner, and you still haven’t decided what pieces of clothing to get? You’re not alone, so don’t worry. Follow these five simple but genius steps to build your style and make this the spring you want your wardrobe to become. Remember, there are no rules when it comes to fashion. Dress how you want, wear what works for you.
Trench Coat
A trench coat is versatile and can be worn in many ways. You can wear it with a skirt, a long shirt or even a dress. Some people like to style it with their favorite jeans or a jumpsuit for that formal look. Also, you could style it with tights and boots or bare legs for that winter look.
Style Tip: Double layer your trench coat by wearing it over another piece of clothing such as a cardigan, sweater, or blazer. Anything which will add a little more warmth to your ensemble is always ideal.
Cross-body Bag
A cross-body bag is great for an outing with friends as it is a more casual bag you can style over your clothing. You can take this bag to the beach or even a night out. Some people love to style their cross-body bags with jeans and sneakers, but you can wear yours with anything because of the shoulder straps.
Most people love wearing their bags during spring because they are fashionable and super affordable. To make the purse stand out more, opt for a bold color. Also, you do not intend to be walking around with a heavy bag wearing you down in rising temperatures.
Sneakers
Yes! You need to have sneakers as part of your spring wardrobe. Think of your sneakers as an investment piece. They last forever and are a must-have in any wardrobe. You cannot go wrong with the classic high-top sneaker or the low-top sneaker. Also, sneakers provide you with a broader alternative for fashion. You can wear them with jeans, khaki, or with cute white dresses.
Vintage-Style Denim Jacket
A denim jacket is a great staple to have during the spring. You can add it to almost any outfit and make it stand out. It is also so versatile that you can pair it with jeans and a tee or a dress and heels! The best part of this piece is that there are so many different kinds you can choose from. You can find them in distressed styles or ones with a collar. You can also get vintage-style denim trousers, which can fit with just about any top.
Style Tip: Try to coordinate the color of the denim jacket with another piece of clothing in your outfit. You could match it with your purse, shoes, or belt. Experiment with different combinations and find what works for you.
Crop Top
A crop top is another excellent spring wardrobe essential to have as part of your wardrobe. You can wear this piece with jeans, a skirt, or a dress. You could also opt for a basic white crop top in case you want to accompany it with some pumps and choose to pair your outfit with jeans and flats.
A crop top is ideal for those who like to mix and match their outfits. For example, you could wear this piece of clothing with some chambray shorts paired with a bright green shirt or wear it over any attire for that added cool factor.
Do not limit your options to the suggestions made above. There are many other pieces you might be interested in trying out during spring. These include:
Graphic Tee
A Graphic Tee is a must-have during Spring and Summer. You can style this piece with any pants and make your outfit stand out.
Baggy Sweater
A loose sweater is great to have during the springtime. You can wear it casually with a pair of shorts or even over your favorite jeans.
Belt
A great belt is another essential to have during the summer season. You can wear a belt with almost any kind of pants or shorts and make your look stand out.
Sleeveless Shirt
A sleeveless shirt is an essential piece to have during the springtime. It is also super versatile, and as such, you can pair it with just about any kind of pants or shorts.
You could also go vintage or use pieces that you already have. Do not limit yourself when it comes to fashion and what you can wear during the spring. The key to any wardrobe is seasonless clothing.
During spring, you will want to have a variety of clothes that will allow you to be casual and formal. Make sure to remember your cross-body bags, sneakers, and denim jackets because they are the key pieces that will enable your spring wardrobe to continue into summer.
