Whether it’s that sunlight-induced boost of serotonin or finally shedding our heavy winter coats, the energy of springtime is something we fully embrace.

Sweaters Over Dresses
Pairing a cozy sweater with a dress is just the right kind of outfit combo that signals the transition from winter to spring. It’s for days when you want to free your legs from the confinement of jeans or slacks, but you still need some insulation on top. Whether it’s a plush, pullover sweater over a shirt dress or a puff-shoulder cardigan over a mini, this breezy outfit formula equals wins all around.
Dressed-Up Blues
Need an outfit that’s casual enough for a low-key day, but can turn dressy in a flash? One of the easiest ways to elevate a pair of blue jeans is to pair it with a button-down shirt. Throw a blazer over top for sophisticated ‘90s-inspired style, and layer a crew tee underneath if you need some extra warmth.
Peek-a-Boo Collars
There is something about a collar peeking out of a sweater that instantly makes an outfit look put-together, albeit a bit preppy — in the best way. A collared shirt and skirt set opens up a whole new world of possibilities. Wear the matching pieces together for a monochrome look and layer a solid-hued crewneck sweater or shirt jacket on top to break it up.
