1. Classic Button Up Top With Jeans

For a great casual spring outfit, there’s nothing more classic than a chic button-up top and your favourite 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!

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 Colours, 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 colours and prints. Have some fun with your outfits this season!

Grab blouses, blazers or pants in bright pastel colours or fun floral prints to add some interest.

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. Paperbag Pants

Paperbag pants are my favourite type of pant because the high-waisted design and cinching belt creates an instantly defined waistline. Perfect for spring/summer, paperbag pants are super comfortable, lightweight and work on everyone.

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 the look.

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.
