8 Styling Tips to Enhance Your Spring Wardrobe
Tip #1: Embrace Sheer Pieces and Fringe
Sheer and cutout pieces are perfect for spring, as they allow you to show a little skin without feeling too exposed. And when it comes to fringe, it’s all about the Western vibes that Beyoncé has been rocking. So don’t be afraid to throw on some cowboy boots, a fringe jacket, and some cute shorts for balance.
Tip #2: Transition with Outerwear
As the weather warms up, it’s easy to put your coats away. But don’t be too quick to do so as outerwear can be used as versatile pieces to transition from winter to spring. Leather jackets, thick blazers, bombers, and long sexy trenches can elevate any outfit.
Tip #3: Incorporate Pastel Colors
Pastel colors are a great way to add a pop of color to your spring wardrobe. Don’t be afraid to mix and match different pastels together, or pair them with white to break up the colors. Pantone’s Color of the year is peach fuzz, and it’s a great place to start.
Tip #4: Mix and Match Patterns and Textures
Last year at our Tea Party, we taught our clients to focus on natural fibers and utilize them often to create a sustainable wardrobe. Mixing and matching patterns and textures can be daunting, but it’s a great way to add interest to your spring looks. Start with similar fabrics, like suede and leather, and work your way up to more extreme texture matchups like silk and vinyl.
Tip #5: Accessorize
Accessories are the key to elevating any outfit, and there are several must-have pieces for spring. Statement scarves, hats, mules, vibrant jewelry, and oversized sunnies are all great options to add some flair to your look.
Tip #6: Revamp Old Clothing Items
Before you go out and buy new clothes, try revamping what you already have. Wear items differently, get creative, and see how many ways you can style an item. If you sew, the world is your oyster. Try a new trend.
Tip #7: Layering for Balance
Layering is essential for spring, as the weather can be unpredictable. Keep it simple and breathable for the base, then add a long trench on top, with some accessories mentioned above. As the temperature increases through the day, remove a layer/accessory.
Tip #8: Sustainable Fashion Practices
Sustainability is essential for any wardrobe, and there are several ways to adopt sustainable fashion practices when updating your spring wardrobe. Thrift what you don’t have, make something new, swap items with people who have great style, and donate items you want to purge.
