Spring is the season of transformation. The cold grey months transition to warmer mornings,
when we find ourselves throwing those puffer jackets back into storage and stripping layers off for daily walks through the quad. It’s a perfect time to embrace change – both in the weather and in our wardrobe.
If someone is anything like me, they can no longer bear the same old winter styles that have been exhausted this past season. While solid oversized sweaters and wide leg denim are a comfortable duo, I am thrilled to be entering a season of change. So, as we slowly tiptoe into the warmer months of the year, we can finally play around with new clothing trends entering the beginning of April. I insist you take full advantage of this thrilling chance to reinvent yourself
and transcend into a new fashion motive.
After endlessly scrolling through Pinterest boards and Vogue’s spring fashion predictions, I can
meticulously piece together my ideal outfits for this coming season. Below are a handful of outfit suggestions matched with the seasonal occasions I am eager to dive into. I am hoping to see these tasteful pieces as the weather transitions to 70 degrees and sunny.
Spring Day in the City:
The star of the show: peplum tops. One simply cannot neglect the chic peplum style, with a loose fit and a wide fluff to the sleeves. This top is truly angelic. Paired with micro, low-rise linen shorts for enchanted flair and mild comfort. Finished with short white socks and black sleek loafers. Perfection.
Your Casual Class Attire:
It starts with your favorite pair of wide-leg jeans. Take a trip to Suburban Square’s Brandy Melville or King of Prussia’s Zara to invest in a collared short-sleeve top; perfect for your daily class on campus. Lastly, it’s time to secure your first pair of ballet flats, if you have not already spoiled yourself with this purchase. Hair clipped back in a half-up-half down, and you’re set for the day.
Weekend Festivities:
The conventionally elegant maxi dress is a timeless piece that will never go out of style. It continues to evolve into an even more wondrous creation with each passing season. Specifically, the maxi poplin dress. It combines elements of classic style with modern fashion trends. This spring, we can anticipate styling with patterns; whether that is polka dots or
floral, to sleek boho and vintage-inspired designs. Pair with any wedge sandals and you are ready for a Saturday afternoon party or brunch with your friends in Bryn Mawr.
Spring Brunch:
You may come to understand my deep love for Pinterest. This find was on one of my recent scrolls. The Bohemian babydoll plaid blouse. They come in endless variations, combining the eccentric, relaxed style from Boho and the sweet feminine details of the babydoll ensemble. This
design is often paired with cute features, like soft pleats, ruffles or gathers, which give it a dreamy, airy feel. The plaid is just a fun pattern to spice up your wardrobe. Fix with any wide-leg, white pants that simply scream spring, and flats for a laid-back yet stylish look. It’s an effortless outfit choice that beautifully combines comfort and chic, making it ideal for sunny
days.
Dinner with Friends:
It’s always a bold choice to wear the same shade for both the top and bottom, but when done
right, it creates a sleek, monochromatic look that radiates confidence and style. A tailored, sleeveless top is suitable for any formal or casual occasions you may take on during the semester. It creates a sharp and flattering silhouette. Style with a blazer for a business casual look or Levi jeans for an effortless day around town. But for the monochromatic choice: high-waisted barrel jeans in a soft cream shade. Barrel jeans have a loose fit that tapers slightly at the ankle, creating a shape that’s wider at the top and gradually narrows down toward the bottom, adding volume. To finish, slip on a pair of black flats.
Sweet and Casual Date Night:
The gingham mini dress. I don’t have to do much convincing with this one. The gingham style is playful, feminine and versatile. The youthful silhouette is what I adore most, giving it a fun feel perfect for incoming spring and summer occasions. Match the blooming energy of spring with lively styles and fresh vibrancy – the Dolce Vita sneakers complement the effortlessly playful look. These shoes have the potential to resurface this spring, available in a range of vibrant color options.
