Spring is here, and with the change in weather, high street stores have launched their take on the latest spring trends from designer runways. But how do you take those trends and craft your own spring capsule wardrobe? Let’s dive in.
Why Create a Spring Capsule Wardrobe
Creating a capsule wardrobe each season helps you make the most of what’s already in your closet and decide if you need to add a few essential pieces. It can also help you organize your closet by putting away winter clothes and focusing on spring attire. Plus, once you’ve figured out how everything fits together, dressing stylishly each day will be a breeze.
What to Consider When Assembling Your Spring Capsule Wardrobe
Spring Trends
Look at the spring trends for 2023 and see what you already have that fits this season. If you want to treat yourself to some new items, consider shopping at stores known for their fashion collections for women over 40.
Transitional Weather
Spring weather can be unpredictable, so you’ll want layers you can easily add or remove. Choose natural materials like cotton, linen, silk, and wool to keep you comfortable.
Specific Items for Your Spring Capsule Wardrobe
Tops
Bright colors, especially red, are on-trend this spring and will give your outfits longevity. Graphic prints and tops with twist details or ruching can also refresh your wardrobe.
Jackets & Coats
A lightweight jacket is essential for spring. You might opt for a trench coat, a long open jacket, or a shorter moto style or blazer.
Jeans & Pants
Dark blue jeans and white pants are staples as they go with just about everything. Add a pair of wide-leg jeans and some print pants for variety. If it’s warm enough, consider shorts that can be dressed up or down.
Dresses & Skirts
Spring and summer are perfect for adding dresses and skirts to your lineup. Look for vibrant colors, graphic prints, and materials like silk and satin. A denim-look dress is also a trendy option this season.
Shoes & Boots
For transitional weather, peep-toe booties combine the look of boots and sandals. Also, have a pair of classic white sneakers, some heels, and flats to cover all bases.
Accessories
Accessories can quickly update your look. Depending on your needs, a tote bag or crossbody bag is essential. Statement necklaces and earrings can also add a trendy touch.
Now that you have an idea of what pieces to focus on, you can mix and match to create numerous outfits from your spring capsule wardrobe.
What are you excited to wear this spring? Adjusting your capsule wardrobe with some or all of these pieces will keep you stylish and ready for the new season.
