Spring has arrived and many complaints I hear from friends are how difficult it is to dress for this season. It's freezing cold in the morning, but by the afternoon, temperatures rise and you roast in the afternoon. Do you have this problem too?
In this Spring Wardrobe Refresh Series, we will talk about different ways to refresh your wardrobe for spring, and today we will discuss 5 tips for layering your clothes for spring.
First, let's think about what kind of wardrobe you have. Where do you fall on this spectrum? Have you simplified and have a capsule wardrobe for each season? Do you rotate out old clothes and add a few new pieces with the change of season? Or are you someone who rarely buys new clothes and has been wearing the same items since college?
I'm definitely a number 2. I try to go through my closet a few times a year and get rid of clothes I'm not wearing, and I also like to buy a few new things for each season to refresh my wardrobe and keep things interesting. I'd love to hear who you are in the comments!
Let’s get into the tips and tricks for layering for spring.
You know...those days when it is freezing in the morning and roasting in the afternoon? You don’t have to sacrifice comfort for style. You can have both!
I am going to share 4 tips with you for looking chic and stylish while layering for the changing temperatures of spring.
Tip 1: Let your layers show
Let your layers peek out from under the layer above. Play with the lengths. See how I wore the longest shirt on the bottom and let it peek out from under the long-sleeve layer? Have the top layer be a different length than the other two. Here my lightweight jacket is slightly longer than the other layer, adding interest and dimension.
Tip 2: Add a pop of color
Whether you’re a fan of bright colors or pastels, adding a pop of color is fun for spring. Here I added pops of pink paired with neutral black and white leggings and a white long sleeve shirt so that it’s not over the top.This Chill Long Sleeve T is a great layering piece as it contains ventilated holes so you can add lightweight warmth to your outfit.
This pink jacket is a fun pop of color but also comes in gray if you are looking for something more subdued.
The Zyia Cozy Joggers that I’m wearing are made with a lightweight breathable fabric that is perfect for spring. And they are super comfortable!
Tip 3: Play with texture
A teddy vest is a great layer for chilly mornings. Add it over a cute sweatshirt for comfort and warmth. Here I combined tops with different textures to add interest and style. I started with a graphic t, added a textured sweatshirt, then put a teddy vest on top.The Zyia Cozy Joggers that I’m wearing are made with a lightweight breathable fabric that is perfect for spring. And they are super comfortable!
Tip 4: Pair unexpected colors together
Pair unexpected colors together for a pop of interest! Also, notice how I played with lengths in this outfit. The teddy vest is slightly shorter than the Zyia Boyfriend Sweater (which is so soft and lightweight, by the way...perfect for spring!) so it just looks like the perfect accessory.
Tip 5: Do a front tuck
If you are wearing an open jacket or sweater as your top layer, be sure to do a front or French tuck of the shirt underneath. This creates definition at your waistline so that you look slimmer.
In this photo, I am wearing the Black Go To Pocket V, which is a super soft everyday t-shirt. I layered a cardigan over it for warmth and kept the front tuck so that my waist is defined.
Layering Pieces For Spring Weather
Let’s talk about outerwear. Spring is the time to pull out lightweight layering jackets and vests. You can stick with neutral blacks and whites or choose a fun colorful jacket depending on your style. You can’t go wrong with any of these choices.
Shop Jackets and Sweaters
Shop Long Sleeve Tops
Let’s talk capris! Capri leggings and joggers are the perfect transition piece for spring. You get coverage on your legs, but because they are cropped they are not as hot as in ankle-length pants. Lightweight joggers are also a sure bet. The Zyia Everywhere Zipper Jogger can be dressed up or down and is made with easy to care for fabric that’s lightweight and has some stretch for supreme comfort!
Shop Capri and Cropped Leggings
Shop Joggers
