4 Outfit Ideas That’ll Turn Heads This Spring

It feels like every winter, you hit a certain point where all you can do is daydream about packing away your bulky puffer coat and heavy boots. Goodbye sub-zero temperatures and slushy gray snow—it’s not you, it’s me.

While that much-needed sunshine is on the horizon, you likely also consider what you’re going to be sporting this spring season. But just what do you wear?

It can be tricky to flip the switch from thick wool sweaters and tights to floaty dresses and light jackets. So, if you’re looking for inspiration for your spring outfits, look no further—read on for four outfit ideas that you’ll be wearing all season long.

#1 Hop Into Spring with the Rita Jumpsuit

Blossoming flowers and budding trees aren’t the only things in bloom when winter turns to spring. As the weather warms up and the sun stops setting at 4 pm (which is the worst part of winter), your social life is probably warming up too. You need an outfit that can take you to both garden parties and beer gardens—something that can effortlessly go from office to out on the town.

Enter your new best friend: the Rita Jumpsuit.

With its silky feel and chic romper styling, all in easy to mix and match black, you’ll be turning to this one piece wonder all springtime long. The criss-cross V-neck top is effortlessly flattering and you’ll love the on-trend silhouette of the flowy bottoms.

You might find jumpsuits intimidating or difficult to style, but don’t break a sweat. Here are some of your new fave waves to style these do it all superstars:

Score some good coverage – When pairing your Rita Jumpsuit with an outer layer, look for a cropped denim jacket or leather moto jacket—the shorter shape works great with the long lines of the jumpsuit, while also still keeping you warm during those April showers. One of the best things about jumpsuits is how well they work for transition seasons like spring. You can wear it covered up in blustery March and April and shed those layers once the sunny days of May and June roll around.

Get a lift – Long, full-body pieces like jumpsuits can really benefit from a little added height. Wearing it with a heeled or platform shoe helps to create an elongated frame.¹ Pair your jumpsuit with a pair of chunky clogs or block-heeled ankle boots for a little extra boost. Once the weather gets warmer, try a platform sandal or a walkable wedge, like the Olivia Sandal in a trendy sage green.

Make it official – Looking for a way to wear your jumpsuit to the office? Adding a layer like a cardigan or a blazer is a great way to keep it professional without sacrificing style. Try a blazer with a chic oversized shape with a powerful pop of color like the Roberta Blazer in Pistachio.

Layer up – The first few weeks of spring can often feel like they’re still winter—gusty winds, damp cold rains, and so much mud. You don’t have to save your jumpsuits until June—get creative and stay cozy by adding a short-sleeved or long-sleeved t-shirt underneath for a ‘90s-inspired layered look.

Add some pizzazz – One of the best parts about the Rita Jumpsuit is its monochromatic elegance. Since it’s all black with a simple shape, you can make it truly your own by adding accessories. Pair it with edgy statement earrings or go bold with oversized gold hoops, or try adding some length with a gold chain pendant (which does double duty as a belt chain, perfect to layer over your jumpsuit) or a colorful coral necklace.

#2 Turn Heads in the Perla Detail Midi Dress

There are a few surefire signs of spring season—the birds chirping in the trees, crocuses poking their heads up through the ground, and a slew of wedding invites and save the dates landing in your mailbox. Spring marks the start of wedding season, which stretches all the way through summer and into early fall, coming to a peak during sunny, sweet June.² With so much planning, you'll need the perfect spring dress to get you through the array of events.

Add your favorite cropped leather jacket on top and pair it with a pair of wooden block heeled sandals for a style that’s casual-meets-vintage cool, or a pair of crisp white leather sneakers for a sporty look. No matter where you’re headed in the Perla Detail Midi Dress, you’re sure to be the best dressed.

#3 Layer Up in the Betty Coat

There’s a reason why they say March goes in like a lion and out like a lamb—while spring weather is a welcome break from freezing temps and snow, it’s also notorious for being temperamental and easily changeable. The golden rule of getting dressed for spring is never to leave home without a stylish, chic layer in case that sunny spring day suddenly turns into showers—especially during those early spring days.

A light-layered coat is the perfect staple to your spring wardrobe. If you’re on the hunt for a layering piece that looks effortlessly elegant and goes with just about everything, look no further than the Betty Coat.

This lightweight black linen blazer features 24 karat gold details and a stylish ruffled collar for an elevated look that’s also still easy to style. With its flowy design and simple, open front it makes for the perfect piece to mix and match all spring long.

What’re your favorite ways to style the Betty Coat this spring? Here are a few ideas:

Wear it with a silk shell underneath tucked into a pair of wide-legged pants for an officewear power dressing moment.

Get matchy matchy and pair it with the Bela Shorts and the Elli Short Top for a breezy linen separates look perfect for that first 75 degree day in June.

Go for casually chic by wearing it with your favorite classic white tee and a pair of vintage jeans. Style it with a red lip and a slouchy woven tote for that perfect “Jane Birkin goes to the farmers market” look.

Dress it up by pairing it with a sleek midi skirt and a satin camisole for a spring outfit idea that’s perfect for date night or grabbing drinks with the girls.

#4 Go For Easy Elegance in the Aida Midi Dress

When building a capsule wardrobe for early spring and warmer weather seasons, think of versatility and pieces that can do it all. And one thing about emerging 2023 fashion trends is that they’re all about versatility. Your spring weekend is probably packed full of events—everything from first dates to birthday parties to strolling around your city. Look for a dress that can take you everywhere you need to go.

You’ll love how the Aida Midi Dress combines easy versatility with understated elegance. This black midi dress is the perfect blend of sultry and structured, with its sweetheart neckline, figure-fitting shape, and flirty back opening.

Wondering how to style the Aida for every spring event on your social calendar? Try it with heels and a pair of statement gold earrings for a look that’s perfect for a romantic night out or a gallery opening.

Trying to keep it more casual? Add flat leather sandals and a floppy straw bucket hat made of natural raffia for an easy look perfect for grabbing brunch on a sunny patio with your besties. Add your favorite sunnies and an anklet for a fun pop of sparkle as you indulge in a mimosa or two.

The Aida Midi Dress is also a great option for those chilly spring nights. It looks effortlessly chic with a cardigan or blazer layered over it—try adding the Ter e sa Sweater in creamy off white on top for a polished mock-midi skirt and sweater outfit. For those nippier nights, swap the sandals out for a pair of block-heeled black leather boots for an elegant, monochromatic look.
