A great way to add more comfort and more style to your outfits is to make use of layers. Wearing an undershirt – shirt – vest – blazer combination is a great way to go in the early spring, as you can take them off or put them on, depending on the weather conditions or indoor climate in which you will find yourself.

Layering is a great way to add some spunk to your outfits, as they are flexible systems that look sharp, keep you just as warm as you want and let you breathe well. Moreover, adding layers to your outfits will give them more dimension and therefore, you will be more interesting-looking.

Layering will ensure you that you are ready for unexpected weather and is a great way to slowly transition the clothes in your wardrobe from winter to spring.

For great results, it is recommended to wear more lightweight pieces, such as vests, bomber jackets, thin scarves, etc.

Change materials progressively

Some materials are better to be worn in the winter rather than in the warm season, and, while you will eventually replace your winter wardrobe with your summer one, it is recommended to do it gradually. Replacing your wardrobe abruptly will make you feel as if you are standing in your summer clothes in the middle of the winter.

Start by replacing your sweaters with lighter clothes, after that, proceed to replacing your winter coat with a great leather jacket or bomber jacket (or, why not with a leather bomber jacket?) and your winter socks with your spring socks one pair at a time.

If you want a smooth transition, you can opt for materials such as denim, which is appropriate for most seasons and which is suited for most settings (especially dark denim). A pair of jeans can work better this time of year than a pair of chinos, for two reasons: one, you can wear them in any weather and two, you can wear them with almost anything.

Furthermore, if you are wearing jeans, you can pair them with any color, as they are neutral. There’s no going wrong with such a safe bet. A good pair of jeans can be dressed up with any texture, color and pattern and you will be sure that it goes with anything else you are wearing.

Watch your shoes

A very important aspect when it comes to transitioning your wardrobe from winter to the warm season is to make sure you have the proper shoes to do it. The best way to go is to have a great pair of leather shoes. Leather is an incredible material that is strong, durable, flexible, it can withstand heat, coldness and rain and the more you wear it, the stronger it becomes. When it comes to styles of shoes, wingtip shoes, oxfords and brogues are the most versatile styles. They can be worn with dress pants, jeans and other casual pants alike.

Invest in a good pair of shoes and you will not regret it!

Another option when it comes to shoes is wearing chukka boots. These come in many styles and there are many light chukka boots out there, which are perfect for the early spring time. Even though chukka boots are more appropriate in the fall, a good pair can be worn in the spring as well.

Spring is a great time of re-growth and your wardrobe should reflect that. Light fabrics, interesting details, softer styling and pairing a pair of dress pants with a pastel shirt are all great ways to express the springtime through your clothes.

Playing with your style is always a very important tip for managing your wardrobe. This is something that is really true for transitioning into the spring, when you can breathe new life into your outfits, with more interesting, more colorful and sharper clothes.

At the end of the day, the clothes you wear should be a reflection of who you are and the best style is a style that is creative, effortless and individual.

The key to pulling anything off is to be confident in your own taste and not to think too much of what you wear. Wear the things you like, make sure that they fit, that they go together, that they reflect who you are, and that they are appropriate for the setting in which you will wear them and you will feel comfortable and stylish.

A great wardrobe is a wardrobe that induces confidence and positivity in its wearer. If you don’t feel comfortable and very confident in your clothes, you have some shopping to do. This time of year is a great opportunity to develop your style, play with clothes and make yourself part of the spring!
