How to Warm Up Your Wardrobe for Spring
Learn how to make the transition from winter to spring
With winter well underway, and temperatures falling from cold to freezing, spring may seem a long way off. As the wind blows and the snow settles, it can’t hurt to think about the warmer weather ahead—and the fashion possibilities that come with it. Here are a few tips for the girl who wants to transition from cold to warm weather in style.
Embrace the Color of the Season
Tangerine has been named the color of the year by the Pantone Color Institute and the fashion industry at-large, and for good reason. Warm, lively, and incredibly energetic, tangerine reminds us all of warmth, the sun, and fun. All kinds of fashion staples—from clothing, to jewelry, to accessories—can be found in the brilliant shade. Channel your inner fashionista by incorporating splashes of this bright color into your daily wardrobe. The more color you add, the warmer your look will be.
Accessorize
Always a fun way to subtly change your look, accessorizing becomes especially important during transitional seasons, when the weather can be incredibly unpredictable. A bright accessory can work wonders to refresh your outfit—and your outlook. Embellish your outfit with a colorful new bag, or pastel scarf, or try adding a punchy, wide belt to your sweater and skinny jeans.
Try Different Textures
Winter is the season of thick, cozy knits, soft cashmeres, and rich corduroys. Enter the warmer weather and wardrobe textures change dramatically. Gone are the heavily textured pieces, and in their place is a new kind of material—one that is smoother, softer, and wispier. Pack the knits away, and opt instead for soft silks and cottons. Layer these lighter fabrics with cardigans and V-necks, for a look that is cozy and chic.
