This sartorial take on how to dress for spring will make you a styling pro. We promise.
March is here, which means it’s (almost) time to crawl out from beneath the pile of scarves and puffer jackets that have been keeping you toasty all winter and start thinking about springtime essentials, aka the type of wardrobe pieces and accessories you will style this season.
Contrary to what you think, a spring closet overhaul doesn’t necessarily mean buying new clothes. All you need is some fresh inspiration (read: outfit styling ideas) to help you see your existing wardrobe in a new light. Case in point: Your floral dresses and denim midis – they always look cool, but amping them up with light knitwear, white sneakers and chunky hoops can take your look to a whole new spring style-worthy level. Intrigued?
From learning how to spice up your everyday trench coats to complementing bold-coloured bottoms with the right jewellery, these easy tweaks and failsafe pairings are sure to put you in spring mood stat!
How to Dress for Spring 2024
1. Spice Up Your Layers With Stackable Rings And Necklaces
Spring is a season where you won’t need your usual woolly coats, but you’ll probably still need a little something to beat the slightly chilly weather. Enter: Jackets, trench coats and blazers.
Use them for leveling up your tank tops or even flowy skirts for a spring OOTD that’s hard to ignore. You can also try the 2×2 method that’s blowing up all over TikTok RN. Take two casual items, say your wide-legged jeans and trainers, and pair them with two dressy items from your wardrobe, like an Oxford shirt and a bouclé bag. Then top it off with your trench coat or a tweed jacket, and boom! You just put together a chic spring-worthy outfit.
Speaking of layers, stacking your necklaces, rings and bracelets is very much in for spring too! Hop on this trend by taking some inspo from your fav Outer Bank girl, Kie, and pair chokers with longer, boho-style necklaces from your jewellery box. But if your style is more like Sarah, you can pack a punch into your spring ‘fit by layering your elegant yet glam rings and necklaces. Or simply go for our layered station necklace if you’re feeling too lazy to put multiple necklaces together. Our and bands are great for spring-worthy stacks too.
2. Style Coloured Bottoms With White Shirts And Minimalistic Jewellery
In case you missed the memo, bold-coloured bottoms are back for spring! Vibrant reds, bubblegum pinks, electric blues and zesty oranges, in particular, will pop up everywhere. For 2024, keep your look sleek by teaming ’em up with your whisper-thin henleys or crisp white shirts. Turn to coloured J-hoops and rings to tie your entire look together. Trust us; they’ll not only complement (or colour block) your ensemble but also uplift your mood within seconds.
Psst! Bright reds sizzled at the NYFW and LFW this year. So, if you’re looking for a sign to shop these ruby J-hoops, this is it!
3. Mix Up Spring Florals With Matching Jewels
Let’s just say, Miranda Priestly wasn’t wrong: flowers for spring aren’t ground-breaking. But do you know what is? Wearing your spring florals in the form of accessories! They’ll add a whimsical yet playful touch to your ‘fits, and honestly, they’re so much fun.
Style your floral-print dresses and tops with our pink sapphire floral bracelet for a look that screams *spring*. Finish it off with tousled hair and a red lip, and just watch their jaws drop.
P.S. You can also opt for something like our citrine flower earrings if you want to channel the spring vibe subtly.
4. Add To The Romance Of A Puff-Sleeved Dress With Heart Jewellery
Puff-sleeve styles are reigning supreme this season. But since this dramatic silhouette can feel OTT at times, we suggest balancing it out with a heart-shaped pendant necklace or ring. Heart-shaped everything is big this spring. Plus, it’ll also give you that babydoll look if that’s what you’re looking for, especially on a romantic date night or a fancy brunch. *Adding to cart now*
Bonus tip: We suggest wearing your puff-sleeve dresses with tights or boots while the weather is still a little warm.
5. Retain Your Monotone Outfits To Pair With Colourful Accessories
Sure, spring is prime time for donning pastels and notice-me-colours, but that doesn’t mean you need to let go of your fav neutral and darker-coloured outfits. In fact, all-black ‘fits are trending this season, thanks to Jenna Ortega’s portrayal of Wednesday Addams.
To do spring right, may we suggest you get your hands on coloured gemstone sparklers to bring your monotone outfits to life? Our top picks: an emerald necklace to exude major spring vibes (duh!) or a classic blue sapphire bracelet to keep you popping in spring 2024’s most popular hue.
6. Dress Up Your Denims With Sparkling Jewels
Friendly PSA: We’ll be clad in denims for this spring according to all the trend reports. Partly dressy and partly casual, denims make for the kind of look you can wear anywhere. So, go ahead and pair your denim midis with jersey tops or white blouses (always perfect for spring) and your denim pants with dressy blouses. And if you want to dress down the look of your tailored trousers or fancy floral dress, a denim jacket is the perfect casual item for the weather.
Finish the look with an edgy gemstone pendant or pearl ring for that subtle glamour. Trust us; these accessories will become your everyday spring go-to!
7. Channel Modern Boho With Danglers & Nature-Inspired Rings
Another style aesthetic set to pop up on your social media feed is modern boho. Think clothing with frayed edges, crochet details and romantic distressing. TBH, we’re super excited about this trend ’cause after wearing structured trousers and outerwear all winter long, these nonchalant silhouettes feel like a breath of fresh air!
In terms of styling, we recommend pairing these with shoulder-grazing emerald earrings for an effortless, chic look or a nature-inspired leaf vine ring to add some boho pizzazz to your spring lewk.
Bonus tip: Investing in these jewellery pieces would also get you prepared for Coachella 2024!
