Fashion Tips For Styling Outfits This Spring

Look cool, feel confident and stay comfortable this spring with these four straightforward styling tips.

Embrace a seasonal palette

Celebrate the return of longer days and warmer temperatures by embracing spring colours and patterns in your outfits. Swap staid blacks and greys which matchy gloomy winter skies for pretty pastels and vibrant shades of seasonal colours like yellow and green. Dressing in cheerful colours reflects the idea that spring brings brightness and has been shown to instantly inspire joy, perfect if you’re trying to shake off the January blues. 

Lift your look further with floral fabrics which reinforce the theme of nature returning. You can go for cute ditsy prints that look like dots from a distance or larger patterns with obvious floral motifs in traditional or modern geometric designs.

Prepare for mixed weather

While better weather is on the horizon, spring itself can be a turbulent season with warms days and cool nights, sunshine and rain in equal measure and even the occasional bought of snow. Ensure you dress to prepare for mixed weather, so you’re never caught short when out and about.

The secret to being comfortable in all conditions is wearing layers. Instead of going out in a jumper with nothing underneath, opt for a t-shirt or blouse with a cardigan or blazer and carry a light jacket for the evenings. Use for waterproof jackets where possible so your clothes aren’t spoiled by the rain, and always carry an umbrella! 

Upgrade looks with accessories

Opting for multi-functional pieces that can be easily mixed and matched or worn on repeat without pulling focus is key to building a capsule wardrobe that will see you through the season. You can use accessories to upgrade plain looks and give a nod to seasonal trends.

Choose a statement handbag in a striking spring shade and add co-ordinating pops of colour with shoes. Echo the SS 25 runways by choosing shoes with bags of personality such as decorated high heels, jazzy trainers and clogs with contrasting-coloured panels. Jewellery can also transform an otherwise unremarkable outfit into a look that screams spring and style.

Match your hair and make-up

Honour a season of renewal with a head-to-toe makeover that encompasses your hair and make-up as well as your clothes. Getting everything bang on trend will make you the most stylish person on the street, and you’ll be strolling along as though walking on air. 

A shade somewhere between brown and blonde that’s come to be known as blended honey is one of the trending options for the season, or you can go bolder with coppery hues. Bespoke bobs with dramatic fringes and layering continue to be popular, so maybe 2025 is the year to get the chop! Complement your new do with warm, light make-up and electric eyeshadow for special events.
