Spring is a time for difficult weather and constant changes, but this can be an enjoyable thing. Weather changes mean outfit variations, and warmer weather brings so many more options. The weather is so unpredictable, but there are certain predicted trends and staple pieces to make things easier. Specific clothing items are necessary to keep around for the spring, and there may even be some new ones to shop for. Spring is an exciting time for fashion.
Starting with the basics is the easiest way to begin. Jeans can be an uncomfortable clothing item to wear, but find a good pair and keep them year-round. They can be worn with a sweater on a cold day or a tank top on a warmer day. They are also convenient for dressing down as well as up. Circling TikTok has been a cozy pair of jeans that are actually sweatpants material. This may be a wise investment for those who find jeans uncomfortable.
Cardigans run spring and fall with their convenience and provided warmth. Have a bulkier one and a lighter one hanging in the closet for a quick change up with an outfit. They make an outfit have a little something extra while keeping one protected from the harsh breeze that lingers into spring.
Skirts go with almost any top and are so comfortable, especially in awkward temperatures. Full-length skirts are great if there is a breeze but the sun is beating down. Short skirts are perfect with a sweater. If it is still chilly, then throw some tights on as well.
Jean shorts are not the most comfortable by any means, especially when sitting in classes. This means that having other comfortable shorts is necessary. Find a cute pair of plaid pajama shorts to get creative with or simple cloth shorts. A nice pair of soft shorts makes a big difference, especially on a full class day when the temperature is up.
After finding the basics that match spring, there are also predicted trends for what styles will be around in the next few months. Some of these include bohemian styles and the color pink. Visit sites like Pinterest or fashion news sites to find information on new clothing to look for. Look at different celebrities' styles as well, and find some cheaper options that match their clothing. Spring is a tricky month to shop for, but inspiration always helps.
There are so many places to shop, whether looking for nicer or more simple styles. Free People has great spring clothes with flowy, bohemian options, and most are very soft; however, it can be expensive. Pacsun is slightly cheaper and has other warmer-weather options with its West Coast theme. Garage is sort of in the middle of these choices but has solid basics that last a good amount of time. No matter where one chooses to shop, there is a great variety of spring options, whether shopping in person or online.
Overall, spring is difficult with all the changes it brings. However, spring clothing options can make all the difference, and it can honestly be one of the best seasons to shop for. Find the floral skirt or pink cardigan and head outside, finally.
