Must-Have Looks for Spring

by Michelle Gifford on April 01, 2021

The days are getting longer and warmer, and I am so excited to share my 5 must-have spring trends to keep you looking fabulous this season! We have been getting to the park every day for the kids to play and explore, and I am on the hunt for great looks to stay comfortable and cute while enjoying the sunshine. 

Spring Trends You'll Love

I know we set goals and intentions for the new year in January, but spring is when I really start to feel things begin to turn around! After the crazy events of this last year, I am looking forward to this season with more anticipation than usual. Just last night my family and I got to spend the evening on the back patio soaking in the last rays of sunshine, listening to music and just enjoying the fresh air. Something we couldn’t even think of doing last week when it snowed! 

Puff Sleeves

The first trend I am loving for this season is a cute puff sleeve! Does anyone else think of Anne of Green Gables when you talk about puff sleeves? I feel like I’m a little girl again just dreaming of the day I can wear a puff sleeve dress to the dance. But maybe with a little less hoop skirt! I love seeing this cute spring trend to add a little puff to shirts and dresses and just offer a beautiful detail to any outfit. And a dress that has puff sleeves with smocking? Perfect!

Corduroy for Spring

The next perfect trend for spring is Corduroy! Soft and textured, this is such a great fabric to have in your closet. Corduroy is durable and soft to the touch. If you’re not a huge fan of the denim feel, swap it out for some corduroy. I talked about choosing pieces that will take you from winter to spring and something in corduroy will definitely do the trick. Pair a corduroy button down with jeans, sneakers, and a cute hat for the perfect outfit!

Give me all the Tees!

Another thing I love is a textured tee! Texture can take any look from 1 to 10 instantly. This ribbed tee is perfect to throw on with jeans, a skirt, or even shorts dare I say it?! A tee with texture will make the usual shirt & jeans combo feel a little more fab for those days chasing after your little ones. If you’re not finding many options for a textured tee, then opt for something with a stripe pattern to stay on trend for spring!

If you’re in the mood for something very casual, a baseball tee is a great American classic to have in your wardrobe. Without fail when the weekend rolls around I’m looking for my baseball tee to throw on and romp around with my kids.

Staying Flexible

While it’s easy to add some layers or throw on a jacket when the spring weather turns a little too chilly, it’s so hard to know what to wear on bottom! To channel spring, I make sure to have a great pair of jeans, then add skirts and joggers in colors that are light and ready to pair with my spring tops. Dresses are my favorite for any season, but I'll be sure to grab a jacket or sweater to pair with it.

Best Footwear for Spring

I am so excited about these cute Pons. They are a customer favorite and I totally understand why! Low heel sandals are so great for spring, and they have the cut detail that gives the slide on sandal feel. When the weather warms up I usually start to let me toes peep out a bit as well! Grab a fresh pedicure and slip on your favorite sandals to pair with any of the trendy looks we mentioned for spring.

Spring can be a tricky season to plan for, but you can’t go wrong with these tips! Also don’t forget to take care of your skin as you spend more time outside! I’ve blogged about my nightly skincare routine and I am determined to take better care of not only my skin but my family's as we spend more time outdoors.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed about which trends speak to your true style, I have a great blog post here to help you discover what kind of look is best for you!

Welcome Spring!!
