Spring Outfits I’m Loving

It’s time to start shedding those winter layers and get ready for spring! From floral prints and breezy dresses to light jackets and pops of color, spring has a playful, effortless vibe that makes getting dressed so much fun. 

To help you get your closet ready for warmer weather, I’m sharing some stylish spring outfits that I’ll be wearing on repeat all season, plus some outfit ideas I’m inspired by. No matter the weather or what you have planned this season, I guarantee that at least one of these looks will become your new go-to.

Dark denim, leather jacket + kitten heels.

You don’t have to say goodbye to all of your winter wardrobe just yet! In this first spring outfit, I’ve styled this affordable cream cashmere cardigan sweater with dark wash barrel-shape denim and this leather bomber jacket. A leather jacket is a perfect transition piece for cold spring days, just be sure to style it with light colors to complement the spring season.  

I love how quickly a pair of nude kitten heels dresses up an outfit; slip them on for an evening out to achieve that elevated-without-trying-hard vibe.  

Style tip: Nude heels help elongate your legs, especially when paired with wide-leg pants. 

Button-up, classic jeans + trench coat.

In search of casual yet classy spring outfit ideas? Look no further.

A trench coat is the gift that keeps on giving all season long. Come rain or shine, it’s the ideal lightweight layer that makes any outfit feel more polished. I’ve styled my Mango trench with a button-down shirt and classic jeans for an outfit that can be dressed up or down, depending on the accessories.

I’ll usually opt for these Adidas sneakers, sunglasses, and a leather shoulder bag if it’s a casual day! 

Leather jacket + matching accessories.

Another stylish way to wear a leather jacket in spring is to mix and match it with other leather accessories.

Here, I started with a simple base of my favorite white tee shirt and classic blue jeans. From there, I added preppy Mary Jane flats and this Khaite studded leather belt (here’s a more affordable alternative).

This slouchy leather hobo bag from Anine Bing adds to the outfit’s effortless aesthetic and is so easy to grab when I’m heading out the door.

Denim on denim.

It’s official: Double denim makes for the perfect spring outfit. There are endless ways to style a “Canadian tuxedo” for spring (check out this article for denim-on-denim styling tips), but I always come back to this simple formula. 

Start with straight-leg jeans in a medium wash and a black or white tee shirt. Grab a dark denim jacket (ideally in an oversized fit) to add contrast and give your outfit an instant cool factor. These kitten heels elevate the look and make it a great option for casual evening events. 

Barrel jeans, denim jacket + slingbacks.

get the look:

This spring outfit will have you feeling cute and stylish in no time! Just throw on a trendy pair of denim (I love these affordable off-white barrel-leg jeans from H&M) with a simple top. Next, add a stylish layer like a denim jacket.

Kitten heels add a flirty element to the look, which is perfect for dinner dates or catching up with friends over drinks.   

Ecru jeans, woven flats + an oversized jacket.

Here’s another spring outfit that’s chic yet simple to recreate. 

Consider incorporating white, ecru, and beige jeans into your rotation this season to brighten up your spring outfits – and instantly elevate your look. I especially love how white denim looks contrasted against bolder pieces, like a dark blue jacket. Matching your top (like this black tee) to your accessories will help pull everything together. 

Side note – these black woven leather flats are one of my favorite spring wardrobe purchases from Quince! 

Leather bomber, jeans + Mary Janes.

get the look:

 

If you still don’t have a leather bomber jacket in your wardrobe, now is the time to get one – this one from Quince is my fave, I have both the black and distressed brown!

This cold-weather staple transitions surprisingly easily into spring, especially if the weather where you live hasn’t totally warmed up yet. I’d style mine with white denim and Mary Jane flats for a chic everyday look.

Adding a woven tote bag brings a “spring break” vibe that adds contrast to the leather jacket too. 

Striped knit, black trousers + a trench.

Christal wearing black pants, a white and black sweater and a trench coat.

get the look:

Dressing for spring when it’s still chilly outside can be tricky! Luckily, there are ways to find a middle ground.

On those days, I’ll reach for this chunky striped cotton knit as a warm layer. Stripes are a timeless pattern that screams “spring” to me, so it’s a perfect balance. Black pleated trousers, suede loafers, and a trench coat add a Parisian chic touch. 

White tee, trousers + leather flats.

get the look:

A basic white tee shirt is a must-have for any season, but I especially love styling it in spring with different jackets. Having a jacket (or several) you can keep on rotation will make creating effortless spring outfits, well, effortless. In my opinion, you can’t go wrong with a denim jacket in a versatile wash—it truly will go with everything.  

Recreate my OOTD with a white shirt, black trousers, and black ballet flats. Throw on your favorite jacket and everyday bag, and you’re ready to go!

Style tip: On days when it’s a bit too chilly for your favorite white tee, swap it for a long-sleeve or cashmere version.

All-cream outfit.

get the look:

 

I naturally start wearing more whites and creams in spring to give my outfits an airy, breezy vibe.

Make your outfits brighter this season with these off-white Levi’s jeans paired with a cream sweater, like this structured cashmere cardigan from Quince. I love to ground all-white outfits with dark accessories, but you could also go for a head-to-toe monochrome look with white sandals and a cream mini bag.

Sweater, jeans + trench coat.

get the look:

Take the guesswork out of getting dressed by reaching for spring staples. White jeans and a striped sweater have a classic, preppy aesthetic that pairs perfectly with ballet flats and a chic shoulder bag. A trench coat adds a warm, practical layer while also making your outfit much more interesting. 

The best part about this outfit? It never goes out of style. You can recycle these capsule wardrobe staples season after season. 

Off-white + dark denim.

get the look:

When in doubt, stick to the basics. A base of off-white jeans and a light top is a staple in my book; it has such a light springtime vibe compared to an all-black outfit.

Style this timeless combo with trendy sneakers or flats, an oversized tote bag (this Anine Bing one is a warm weather staple), and a dark denim jacket for an effortless everyday look.  

Pullover sweater, poplin skirt, + flats.

The sun is finally peeking through the clouds! So why not add a sunny touch of yellow to your spring outfits?  

I’m obsessed with how Erika styled a butter yellow pullover sweater with a white poplin skirt (a spring essential!). Accessorizing with a raffia bag and woven flats adds a beachy vibe you can rock from spring into summer. She wore this outfit to a wine tasting, but you could totally wear it to brunch, the farmers market, or a cute coffee date.

Vest top, jeans + kitten heels.

A vest top is another spring staple you’ll get endless wear out of this season! It looks just as good with jeans and sandals as it does with tailored trousers for the office. For spring 2025, I’m taking inspo from Olivia, who styled hers with light wash denim, a trench coat, cat-eye sunnies, and luxe kitten heels.

Mini skirt, button-up shirt + loafers.

get the look:

Shake off the winter blues with a cute mini skirt (or skort). Style it for spring with a baby blue button-down, a shoulder bag, and the ultimate cool-girl combo of loafers and socks.

Olive on olive.

Spring greens are trending this season! Whether you love muted pastels, bright hues, or earthy shades, incorporating green into your outfits is one way to look stylish stepping into spring. Take notes from Anouk’s head-to-toe olive outfit featuring cropped trousers and a khaki knit.

An oversized tote bag, minimalist silver jewelry, and pointed-toe flats will elevate any spring outfit.  

Cropped jeans, knit jacket + flats.

Add this next chic spring outfit to your Pinterest board ASAP. 

A knitted jacket is a fashionable addition to your collection, especially if you love the look of a button-up cardigan but want a more polished version. Camille is giving major Parisian it-girl vibes by styling hers with coordinating cropped jeans, black ballet flats, and a Celine Belt Bag.

Cropped trench coat + leopard flats.

For all the stylish women who want to update their spring wardrobe in 2025, this next look is for you.

Swapping in trendier takes on wardrobe staples—like a trench coat and ballet flats—will instantly freshen up your ensemble. For example, I love how Romane wore a cropped trench coat with dark wash jeans and a white button-up shirt. The look is still classic but with a modern touch, especially when paired with leopard print flats.

Wide-leg trousers, lightweight knit + flats.

get the look:

Everyone needs a lightweight spring knit in their closet. This piece is a must-have for transitional hot and cold weather; plus, it goes with everything. Recreate Anouk’s spring outfit by pairing a lightweight knit with roomy wide-leg trousers and pointed-toe flats. Make this look trendier by styling it with chunky silver jewelry and a suede jacket.
