Spring is synonymous with renewal and rebirth. The warmer climate gives new vitality to nature, coloring it with brighter tones than the winter greyness. Learn to dress for the season by adding color and vibrancy to your wardrobe. Start pulling out clothes from lighter fabrics to keep you cool as temperatures rise.
Steps
Part 1 of 6: Finding Spring Clothes
Step 1. Choose bright colors and patterns to add a touch of style to your outfit
Light colors give a cheerful, happy and fresh look to spring fashion. On the contrary, dark ones tend to remember winter. Forget the black and dark blue items and replace them with yellow, blue or green ones.
- Pastel tones always give an air of spring. Teal, lilac and pale yellow add sparkle to any outfit.
- Imagine wearing colorful clothes for a picnic or a walk in the park and ask yourself if they fit the context.
Step 2. Stock up on neutral colored clothes
Spring revolves around colors, but a large part of the wardrobe must contain neutral-colored garments to combine with other clothes. What's more, the neutral shirts are worn in other seasons, so they are worth buying.
- Neutral colors include beige, gray, navy blue, white and brown.
- Use white for a classy spring look. Give a touch of elegance to sweaters and accessories or you can make your appearance more essential by wearing only one garment in this color.
Step 3. Dress in layers
Spring is a season when temperatures change rapidly, so be prepared for all the vagaries of the weather. Always carry a sweater, cardigan, light jacket or pair of leggings with you - it will be easier to take off a layer if you are hot.
Step 4. Choose lighter fabrics
When temperatures rise, heavier winter clothes need to be set aside for something more comfortable. Although cotton remains the most used fabric, you have other choices for your spring garments.
- Light wool;
- Chiffon;
- Linen;
- Hemp.
Step 5. Keep in mind that floral motifs are always in fashion during the spring
When the flowers bloom, people love to see more of them. From March on, dresses, shirts and even pants with large flower prints are on trend, no matter where you live.
Step 6. Find out a little more
As the weather becomes more and more pleasant, people begin to get rid of their high-necked clothes. Spring fashion uses this opportunity to propose garments that show the shoulders, shorts, skirts and necklines on the back or V-shaped on the front. This kind of clothing will allow you not only to stay cool, but to stand out when you go out.
Step 7. Don't get rid of rain gear completely
Usually, spring is the wettest and wettest season of the year, as thunderstorms arrive and the snow melts. Buy an umbrella, keep a light raincoat handy, and keep a pair of rain boots. Even the most elegant spring outfit can be ruined if you are surprised by a sudden downpour in April.

Women
Step 1. Wear blouses made from lightweight fabrics
Cotton is suitable for many occasions, while the more refined fabrics, such as chiffon, are suitable for more formal contexts; linen, on the other hand, is perfect when you want to dress more casual.
Step 2. Look for "wavy" dresses
Loose, flowing blouses will keep you cool on the hottest days and are perfect for being stylish and comfortable at the same time. However, be careful not to buy too baggy garments that risk giving you a clumsy and sloppy look.
Step 3. Buy shirts with prints
The delicate floral prints are very pleasant and pay homage to the flowers that bloom in spring. However, other patterns are also fine, such as polka dots, paisley patterns and sailor stripes.
Step 4. Try on a maxi dress
When temperatures start to rise, the maxi dress allows you to adapt to climate change. Loose cuts and lightweight fabrics keep you from feeling warm, while the long skirt protects your legs from the cold.
Step 5. Wear knee-length clothing
They are classic models that are suitable for almost any body size. Plus, they allow you to stay cool when it gets very hot.
Step 6. Look for patterns and bright colors
Consider floral prints and pastel tones, such as canary yellow and sky blue.
Men
Step 1. Consider the simple cotton polo shirts
Wear light-colored short-sleeved polo shirts. They are smart garments to keep in the wardrobe, suitable for professional occasions and contexts that require a little more formality in the choice of clothing.
Step 2. Refuel with tank tops
They are perfect to put under other garments, when the temperatures are still not very lenient, or to wear alone when it starts to get very hot.
Step 3. Have several short-sleeved T-shirts on hand
Fitted shirts are incredibly versatile. Wear them on days when you want to have a more casual look or when you want to add a touch of style to your outfit.
Step 4. Try on a tunic
Tunics are loose garments that reach up to mid-thigh. Often they are made of cotton or other lightweight fabrics, ideal for spring. Choose one with short sleeves or three-quarter sleeves to keep yourself cool.
Part 3 of 6: Jackets
Step 1. Keep a light windbreaker in your wardrobe
Anoraks are especially suitable in the first months of spring, as they protect you from the cold wind and drizzle. Preferably, choose one with a hood.
Step 2. Consider a trendy trench coat
Trench coats are lightweight coats, perfect for spring weather. The belt that wraps around the waist gives different builds. In addition, they are available in different colors and patterns, so they can add a touch of personality to your style.
Step 3. Prepare your raincoat
After all, it can rain often in spring. So, in addition to the windbreaker and trench coat that protect you from the drizzle, the raincoat is essential when the weather conditions are more adverse.
Step 4. Wear a cardigan
Lightweight, close-fitting cardigans are perfect to wear over other sweaters to stay comfortable and not lose heat. The ideal colors for the spring season are white, cream and pastel tones.
Step 5. Think denim
Look for a fitted denim jacket with no internal padding. Denim is already warm enough, so if the garment is padded, it may be too heavy when temperatures start to rise.
Part 4 of 6: Pants and Skirts
Step 1. Take out the skirts
All the skirts that were hidden at the bottom of the wardrobe during the winter season can finally breathe again! Flared ones with floral patterns are particularly suitable for the season, but other models can also work well.
Step 2. Start wearing capri pants
When the temperatures are neither too high nor too low, capri pants are ideal garments because they cover most of the leg, leaving just enough exposed to keep you cool.
Step 3. Put on long pants made of lighter fabrics
Cargo-style linen ones are practical and trendy. Ideal for casual contexts, this model of trousers is also good for the most elegant occasions.
Step 4. Don't forget the jeans
They are a must in all seasons. For spring, lighter colors are ideal, but you can wear darker ones too.
Step 5. Look for a comfortable pair of shorts
Towards the end of the season, temperatures may be too high even for capri pants. Hence, shorts are key during these times. If you prefer a more understated pair, consider Bermuda shorts, which come above the knee.
Part 5 of 6: Footwear
Step 1. Equip yourself with dancers
Ballet flats can be plain or decorated, and go well with both casual and elegant attire. Also, by showing the top of your foot, you will feel fresh without exposing your toes.
Step 2. Prepare the elegant sandals
For more important occasions, consider wearing the spiked stud sandals you saved up during the winter. The heat brings this kind of footwear back to the fore.
Step 3. Put on a pair of sandals to walk comfortably
In less formal contexts, the ideal is to wear a nice pair of resistant leather sandals, so that the foot stays cool.
Step 4. Have a pair of white sneakers ready
Choose a simple model, with or without laces, perfect for running your everyday errands. Unlike black, navy blue and darker colors, white is particularly suitable for spring.
Step 5. Try wearing a pair of open-toes with heels
While you won't have the same feeling of freedom that sandals can give you, pointy heels are perfect when the heat begins, as they show the part of the foot that was hidden during the winter.
Step 6. Consider goblets or other rain boots
When there is a light drizzle, any type of shoe is fine. However, in the event of a torrential downpour, wear a pair of waterproof footwear.
Part 6 of 6: Accessories
Step 1. Buy a pretty umbrella
On rainy days, nothing forces you to use a boring and anonymous umbrella. Consider it as an accessory like a bag, choosing a model with fun prints or particular shapes.
Step 2. Prepare the sunglasses
At the end of the wettest months, get ready to enjoy brighter days. A trendy pair of sunglasses will add a touch of style to your look while protecting your eyes from harmful sun rays.
Step 3. Wear a belt around your waist
If your wardrobe is overflowing with loose tunics or blouses, accentuate your silhouette with a sash or thin belt to put on the waist.
Step 4. Look for light and original hats
Opt for lightweight materials, such as cotton or straw. Look for cute caps or hats with a wide brim to protect your eyes from the sun.
Step 5. Wear colorful jewelry
Give a touch of spring to the simplest garments by wearing bright necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings.
Step 6. Buy jewelry that is inspired by nature
Look for pendants and charms in the shape of flowers, leaves and feathers. Spring represents the awakening of nature. Therefore, to be on the subject, go for jewels that match this season.
Step 7. Keep a pair of leggings in your wardrobe for colder days
At the beginning of the season, when the air is still a bit crisp, you could wear a pair of leggings under a skirt or a trapeze dress to protect your legs from the cold. They also work well under long tunics.
Advice
- Dress according to the weather. If it's still cold, wear long-sleeved shirts or put a cardigan or jacket over your short-sleeved garments. If, on the other hand, the temperatures are already high at the beginning of the season, don't be afraid to wear lighter clothing right away. Versatility is one of the advantages of spring.
- Headbands are a nice way to keep your hair from becoming frizzy or wet with sweat.
