Lighter coats and long dresses are your new best friends!
Perfect for the unpredictable spring weather: The Broadway Lime Silk Lamé Wrap
Even though it happens every year, no-one’s ever fully prepared for when spring hits. Having spent most of the winter wearing every piece of clothing you can find, like Joey in that episode of Friends, the changing season still has most people scrambling for an appropriate outfit. But fashion is all about self-expression, and the changing seasons don’t have to hinder your personality.
Whether you’re desperately in need of a work look that doesn’t scream “Winter Is Coming!” or you’re simply after a casual outfit that won’t leave you sweating while vintage shopping, there are several ways you can transition your wardrobe with the changing weather. Without breaking the bank, it’s also entirely possible to rework items you already own by adding a few simple, yet chic, accessories.
Here’s a tip for making your winter wardrobe work for spring: Lighter coats and long dresses become your new best friends!
Sometimes, it can be hard to gauge the weather before you step out of the door, which is why longer dresses and outfits with sleeves are a total lifesaver. Instead of playing it safe, why not switch your sweater for a chic shirt dress with sleeves, and accessorize accordingly. Similarly, wearing a light trench coat can make all the difference — helping to stave off any April showers whilst being easy to shed if the sun puts in an appearance. A scarf could be the perfect accessory during those in-between months when summer still feels like eons away. Try Jil Dever’s Pearl — its double-sided silk designs add a pop of color to any outfit.
Stay tuned for our next spring wardrobe tip...
