Spring seems to finally be on its way and I’m ready to switch from coats and sweaters to sundresses and sandals! But what pieces make up a great Spring wardrobe? A big part of a successful Spring wardrobe is the ability to easily layer pieces to help you transition from cool mornings to warm afternoons. You also want to be able to mix and match your staple pieces to create many different outfits without spending a ton of money.
You can read my cost per wear post for more information about making the right fashion investments.
I’ve put together some of my Spring wardrobe pieces below; feel free to adjust based on your style preferences and budget. You can also easily shop these exact items by clicking on the photo or link!
TOPS:
A relaxed, white v-neck tee: Definitely a wardrobe staple! This comfortable shirt matches everything – pair it with a floral skirt, wear it under a denim jacket, or throw it on with your favorite pair of jeans.
A light blue woven shirt: The perfect casual piece to wear with white jeans or unbuttoned with a patterned tank.
A black and white striped tee: Another great mix-and-match item. Wear this simple pattern as a neutral.
A floral blouse: Spring is the perfect time for fun patterns! Try experimenting with mixing and matching your favorites.
PANTS:
Casual jeans with some texture: Find some light wash jeans with some fraying that adds character. These are perfect to pair with a tee for a casual lunch.
A darker, skinny jean: Also include a darker jean that you can dress up for a night out.
White jeans: While you can definitely wear white in winter, embrace the color in Spring!
Retro-inspired flared jeans: Dare to be a little different with these fun, stylish jeans.
JACKETS:
A raincoat: The necessary (and cute!) accessory to battle spring showers.
A denim jacket: Definitely an essential! Throw on over a tee or sundress to add a little bit of extra warmth.
A white denim jacket: Another great layering piece. Perfect for pairing with jeans.
A duster: One of my favorite transitional clothing ideas! A duster is perfect for layering when it’s a little too cool for the cute tank you want to wear.
DRESSES/JUMPSUITS:
Light, floral dress: The perfect, light, carefree dress for Spring! It works for a day at the office or a dinner out.
A white, lace dress: Beautiful, light, and perfect for Spring.
A colorful jumpsuit: Easy to throw on and walk out the door looking stylish! Don’t be afraid to go with a bright color – what better time than Spring to be colorful?
A simple sundress: A staple for any wardrobe. Great for everyday wear or for outdoor parties.
SKIRTS:
A classic denim skirt: This goes with everything! A must-have for your Spring wardrobe.
A white denim skirt: Just like white jeans, a white denim skirt is the perfect Spring item!
A flared skirt: A flared, wrap skirt has a whimsical, light style that fits with the brightness of the season.
SHOES:
A pair of wedge sandals: A great casual, summer shoe that goes with a dress or jeans.
Bright heels: Brighten up your outfits with a pair of colorful heels.
Casual tennis shoes: It’s Spring, so you’re going to be outside much more. Make sure you have a comfortable, cute pair of shoes for walking!
A pair of sandals: Wear these with jeans and a blouse or a sundress.
ACCESSORIES:
A crossbody purse: Again, in Spring you’re more likely to be out and about – a light-colored crossbody purse makes the perfect grab-and-go accessory.
A stylish pair of sunglasses: Protect your eyes from the bright Spring sun and look great while doing it.
A straw hat: Straw is a great, casual material for spring. Choose a hat that looks stylish but protects your face from the sun.
