6 Warm Spring Outfits and the Latest Trends

Warm spring weather is right around the corner, though that may be hard to believe if your neighborhood is still covered in snow. The return of warm weather means that seasonal depression girlies can pack away their UV lights and the park is once again a viable WFH location. Most importantly, it's a great excuse for a wardrobe update. Here's everything you need to know to put together stunning warm spring outfits this year.

The Latest Trends for Warm Spring Outfits

The "understated neutral basics" trend in fashion is persistent, but it's not really all that fun. Here are some fashion-forward alternatives that are full of personality. Play with these eye-catching style elements when building your spring and summer looks.

Sheer Perfection

While see-through fabrics have been in style for years, a stark black-and-white color scheme is a cutting-edge spring trend. Many runway collections have featured ornate white sheer dresses with layered textures, a throwback of over a century to the Edwardian lingerie dress.

If head-to-toe sheer is a little outside of your comfort level, there are many ways to incorporate this trend into looks that don't show a lot of skin. A sheer sleeve on a blazer is a fashionable choice, or you can wear knee-length opaque shorts underneath a long, flowy sheer skirt.

Crochet All Day

With the eye-searing highlighter colors of past years dying down, textures are taking center stage. Knitwear and crochet patterns are an unexpected choice for spring, as they're usually associated with fall and winter fashion. Choose an open pattern and a loose cut to make comfy knits breathable for warm spring outfits.

Groundbreaking Florals

You don't have to be Miranda Priestly to know that florals for spring are nothing new. What is new, though, is stunning three-dimensional floral patterns that add texture and volume. Floral fringe or elaborate petal patterns can create an oversized look with enough negative space to feel open and light for spring weather.

Disco Daywear

Think of everything you've accomplished throughout your life. Remember every time you've persevered despite setbacks or long odds. Chances are, you've done some incredible things if you stop to think about it. Tap into that energy, and say it with me: You can wear sequins during the day.

Fun and flashy textures like metallic fabric and sequins add even more punch to daywear outfits than they do in evening or clubbing looks. Contrast your favorite metallic trench coat or sequin cropped jacket with light-wash jeans or linen pants for a fresh take on spring fashion.

Distressed Best Dressed

Weave the massive grunge revival into your spring outfits by opting for torn and tattered textiles. A destroyed sweater is a go-to spring piece that adds texture and volume to an outfit without excess weight. A pair of destroyed sneakers or flats continues the theme all the way through the look.

6 Warm Spring Outfit Ideas To Try

Here are six of our favorite warm spring color palette outfits for inspiration as the weather warms up.

1. Sheer Skirt and Tee

An easy way to build a stylish outfit in a hurry is to take a tried-and-true staple and add a trendy twist. A basic tee and a fun sheer skirt combine to form an outfit that's a blank canvas for your personal style.

Add a dramatic earring or belt that speaks to you, and match its detail to your shoe for a cohesive and detail-oriented look. You can also match the shoe to the tee for peak vertical symmetry that shows off the skirt as a focal point.

2. High-Waisted Overalls and Crop Top

High-waisted pants are coming back around in fashion, especially in traditionally masculine cuts and fabrics. Play off this trend with a pair of plaid overalls for unique warm spring outfits. To keep the overall feel light and breezy, balance out the wide-leg pants with a cute crop top. Low pumps or loafer-style flats complete this modern look.

3. Tulle Spring Dress

Dress devotées wait all year for that first stretch of warm spring weather. Incorporate the see-through trend into your spring sundresses by blending more old-school elements like bows, full skirts, and lace with modern sheer fabric. Florence Pugh (the queen of sheer) struck the perfect balance in a black lingerie dress with a tiered peasant skirt.

4. Distressed Separates

Make a punk statement this spring by working multiple distressed elements into one look. A pair of destroyed jeans or jean shorts is a perfect match for a partially-unraveled sweater. Adding metallic elements, such as a shiny metal belt or spike earrings, adds contrast to the look without dropping the thrown-together vibe.

5. Bold Blazer and Shorts

Blazers aren't just for board meetings, anymore. Pick up a fun casual blazer to serve as inspiration for your warm spring outfits.

A blazer, colorful shorts, and flats is an easy outfit you can throw together in a minute or two. For extra style points, choose an oversized blazer in an unexpected print, color or textile. Julianne Hough recently turned heads in a massive pinstripe blazer with short shorts and strappy black heels.

6. Shiny Jacket and Denim

Loud, metallic fabric and matte denim are a great textural contrast in any casual look. On a spring day that may shift from cold to warm, go with a shiny or bright-colored jacket over a pair of high-waisted jeans. Tie the jacket and jeans together with an embellished belt or a statement necklace.

To balance out the visual weight of the jeans and jacket, go for a sparse and airy top underneath. That way, if the weather warms up, you can open up or ditch the jacket to get on with your day.
