Hello loves! Spring is quickly approaching, but if you’re like me, the weather doesn’t feel like spring. Dressing for a seasonal transition period can be difficult, but today I’m going to try and alleviate some of those pains. I’m sharing some of my tips for transitional dressing, plus a few pieces that are available online that I think will be perfect for this time of year.
One tip I have for transitioning into spring is to incorporate lighter washes of denim. Denim is a year round staple, but the lighter washes tend to give off a more spring time vibe. Layering a denim jacket over any look is a great way to stay warm, while not looking like you’re dressing for a colder season.
Speaking of lightweight layers, I have been absolutely loving this coatigan lately. It has the design of a coat, but is the weight of a cardigan. This is the ideal piece for when you need an extra layer but you don’t need a full on coat. I am also obsessed with the trend of wearing a button up cardigan as a top or layered over a dress. I think a cardigan with a deep v-neck is much more spring forward than a sweater with a higher neck. There’s something about the buttons on a cardigan too that make it more optimal for spring and not as heavy looking. I personally don’t own one of these cardigans yet but I linked one in my shopping guide down below.
Wearing long sleeve dresses and longer length skirts are also great ways to transition your wardrobe to spring. A dress that has a spring pattern or color but on a more winter-like silhouette is a great way to look more spring ready when the weather says otherwise.
Another tip is to wear shoes that are traditionally fall/winter styles, but opt for lighter colors. I recently purchased the above beige croc booties and I can see myself wearing throughout spring as well. I am also loving the color of the light mules too.
Let me know what your favorite transitional piece is!
