i’m a spring baby, but have hated the season since moving up north for law school. it’s typically beach weather back home in florida on my birthday in early april. however, the temperature could be 75 or 45 degrees in the dc metro area. i can’t.
after years of hating spring in the northeast, i decided to take a different approach. no matter how hard i try, i can’t force the weather to change lol. instead, i have to change how i approach the season. that’s why layers are super important as well as thicker fabrics like leather or faux leather. they keep you warm, but aren’t as heavy as wool and cashmere.
i’ve already transitioned my closet over for the season. my capsule wardrobe is looking really cute with lots of great basics and the five trends below.
for spring, i’m loving shackets, pastels, shoulder pads, faux leather and cut out tops.
Shackets
shackets are big this year. they’re basically button down shirts that are made from a thicker fabric. they look great with jeans and a tank or simple t-shirt underneath. i love to wear mine with skirts like this one i’m wearing from h&m or mom jeans.
Pastels
i’m typically a neutral girl, but i love a good pop of color. this season pastels are a big trend and look great when paired with other pastels or denim and white boots.
Shoulder Pads
wanna add a little swag to your wardrobe? hit ’em with shoulder pads! these aren’t your mom’s shoulder pads though, they’re more tucked in and exaggerated. the style originated a few years ago with isabel marant and has finally made it’s way to high street fashion. this means we can join the trend for less. i’m definitely here for it.
Faux Leather
let’s talk about faux leather. i have a theory that it makes everything look edgy. whether it’s a simple white tee shirt, crop top or sweater, just add a faux leather piece. i love my faux leather shacket, shorts and pants. they’re big staples in my wardrobe all year long.
Cutout Tops
i’m absolutely obsessed with this trend. it adds a little sexiness without trying too hard to any outfit. plus, you can dip your toe in the water or go all the way out.
