As the weather gets warmer, it’s time to put away those clunky winter boots and switch to light footwear. Here are a few of our favourite shoes that will make this transition easy and stylish.
Nothing screams spring like floral prints. Pair a puff-sleeve floral top with skinny jeans and minimal sneakers for a casual but chic look.
Keep It Simple
As winter thaws into spring, replace heavy wool sweaters with light cardigans and lightweight jackets. Similarly, swap dark jeans for denim in soft, neutral shades and light fabrics like cotton.
Shirts in pastel colours and floral prints are fail-proof ways to add a pop of Adam Kimmel mens spring fashion inspiration to any outfit. A powder pink or soft green button-down pairs with any pants and looks just as polished with shorts.
Flat dress shoes are an excellent option for dressing up your casual spring outfits, including khakis and button-ups. They look just as polished with a cute striped skirt or a top-and-skirt ensemble for work.
Keep It Floral
Ditch those winter burgundy sweaters when the weather warms up and replace them with lighter options in fresh pastel hues or neutral shades like cream, blush pink, or lilac. A light jacket (biker, trench, denim) is also an essential item for spring to shield you from the elements without adding too much bulk to your outfit.
If you want to add a dash of floral to your look, try daisy-inspired accessories such as a pair of gold or pastel-coloured stud earrings and a pair of floral-print sneakers or flats. Or, dress up a simple floral print midi skirt with a tailored cotton blazer for a picture-perfect brunch outing with friends. Pair your skirt with a lightweight, matching crossbody bag for the complete look.
Keep It Light
Since spring can still be cold or wet, keeping your layers light and breathable is important. A Merino tee or polo ticks all the boxes as they regulate temperature and look great with a lightweight blazer.
As for outerwear, swap your wool cardigans for a denim jacket in a spring-appropriate shade, such as sage green or ballet pink. Alternatively, a moto or bomber jacket is also a great option to beat the cool spring weather.
For bottoms, light cotton or linen pant is always a good option, as it’s both versatile and breathable. Or, ditch the dark corduroy pants and opt for a stone satin maxi skirt, which can be styled with a t-shirt or a light button-up shirt for a more relaxed vibe.
Keep It Classic
When outfitting for spring, you want something that feels fresh but has some classic appeal. This could be a button-up midi dress or a cropped suit with floral print pants, Ã la Paloma Faith. Both styles give off a soft, swe like Selena Gomezet girl vibe far from the ’90s grunge aesthetic.
Whether it’s a denim dress or a black blazer and jeans combination, this style is an ideal way to stay stylish yet comfortable as the temperature rises. A rattan crossbody bag is the perfect accessory to complete this look.
You’ll also want to avoid wearing winter boots and stick with a pair of tan, blush, or light grey mule shoes or fashion trainers. They’re just as stylish and comfy as your favourite leather boots but still, let your feet breathe.
Keep It Versatile
When choosing your clothes for spring, be sure to keep your outfits versatile. Leave the burgundy sweaters behind and reach for crisp, light shades like cream or blush pink. Also, opt for khaki pants and baggy shorts in a neutral hue, as these pieces will pair well with any suit jacket or blazer you have in your closet.
Finally, if you want to wear a summer dress before the temperatures are warm enough, consider opting for a fitted tee and a flowy skirt. This combination works well when the weather can’t seem to decide: it may be windy and cold one moment but sunny and warm the next. You can always add a simple, casual, lightweight jacket and a pair of loafers for warmth.
