Today’s post is all about spring outfit essentials that work well together to create the most fabulous spring outfits!
Spring is upon us and the brighter days and warmer weather are two things I’m sure everyone is eagerly awaiting.
The spring season is also a great excuse to change things up in the wardrobe department and get in some hard-earned spring shopping.
Find out how to update your spring wardrobe with these must-have spring outfit staples!
1. Classic Button Up Top With Jeans or Pants
For a great casual spring outfit, there’s nothing more classic than a chic button-up top and your favorite pair of jeans. Tucked in or tied in a bow across your waist, the button-up top or blouse is a look that can be dressed up for the office if you swap out the jeans for a great pair of slacks.
Add a couple layering necklaces, an oversized watch and a fabulous belt and this outfit is perfect for your next adventure! A knit that can be wrapped around the shoulders is perfect for chilly days when you want to look like old money.
2. Blazers & Tops In Brighter Shades
Blazers are a staple piece in any wardrobe and can be dressed up for the office or down for a casual night out. They also act as the perfect layering piece when wearing a camisole or short sleeved blouse, especially when the weather is still too chilly to bare your arms.
Blazers that aren’t too thick or heavy material wise are perfect for the warmer spring weather and light neutral or pastel-coloured blazers help brighten things up for the season. If you love a full-on coordinated look, grab the matching pants and blouse. And don’t be afraid to experiment with patterned blazers as well! They can take your look to the next level.

3. Layering Pieces
Spring weather can be a bit windy or chilly in some places, so dressing in layers that are removable will keep you looking fashionable while staying warm. For example, a fun patterned button-up sweater, leather jacket, or sweater vest layered on top of a high-collared shirt will keep you chic and warm all day long.
4. Bright Colors, Prints & Patterns
Spring represents flowers in bloom and new beginnings and what better way to reflect that theme in our clothes than by using some bright colors and prints. Have some fun with your outfits this season! Grab blouses, blazers or pants in bright pastel colors or fun floral prints to add some interest.
5. Spring Jackets
A cute suede, denim, cotton or leather jacket works as an easy layering piece to keep you warm and make you look fabulous all at once. Add a fabulous scarf and fresh spring handbag and your look is complete.
6. Pants & Slacks in Pastels
It’s time to pack the dark blue and black slacks to the back of the closet and bring out the pastel pinks, blue, purples and peach colors to welcome the start of spring! While you can still work in your darker pants, don’t be afraid of some spring color!

7. Blouses & Camisoles
If you’re sick and tired of wearing heavy sweaters and shirts, you will rejoice now that the time of the thin, flowy blouse has returned. Whether it’s part of your professional office outfit or worn on top of jeans for a casual night out, a cute blouse or camisole gives any outfit a romantic touch.
I especially love the lace-trimmed ones! If things are still a bit chilly, a patterned blazer or ribbed knit sweater would look great layered on top of either .
8. Light Coats and Trenches
Spring weather can get windy and rainy, so a trendy trench coat or lightweight wool coat are spring outfit staples that will always come in handy. Throw on a silk scarf, riding boots and grab your latest spring handbag to complete this spring outfit.
9. Lightweight Knits
Just because the weather is getting warmer doesn’t mean you have to pack up all your knits just yet! Adding a few lightweight knits into your spring wardrobe will keep you warm on those chilly days and work well in an outfit when paired with a cute pair of pants or your fave spring skirt.
10. Boots, Loafers & Sneakers
The warmer weather means we can pack up those clunky winter boots and move on to lighter footwear. A solid pair of riding boots are great for chilly spring days, while loafers or sneakers will get you around town in comfort and style.

11. Neck Scarfs
A cute neck scarf can bring some added texture or patterns into your look for a more polished outfit. You can also add one to your handbag to dress it up for the season.
12. Belted or Wrap Dresses
Belted shirt dresses are perfect for defining the waist and welcoming the spring season. If the button-up shirt and jeans option just isn’t your thing, the shirt dress is a more feminine spring outfit option.
12. Light Handbags & Totes
We can’t ignore that spring is the best time to update your handbag for the season (any excuse to get a new bag, am I right?). Cute totes and handbags in pastels and light neutrals are a lovely update for the spring season.
