Spring Outfit Ideas with 10 Versatile Basics:
Spring Outfit Ideas #1: Neutral Stripe Button-Down Shirt
GAP FACTORY Khaki Stripe Shirt ($48)
We already know that a white button-down shirt is a staple.
But another great way to add some subtle striped pattern and color for spring is to opt for any neutral light-striped button-down shirt.
Think pink or beige stripes that are an ideal alternative to the traditional blue stripe shirt.
Try styling with white, blue, or black denim. Also styles easily with trousers, mini, and midi skirts.

Spring Outfit Ideas #2: Denim Shacket
FOREVER 21 Oversized Denim Shacket ($40)
There are so many variations of the new denim shacket trend.
Cropped, duster and regular-length styles are all over this year’s trend lists.
And any of them will work great in your capsule wardrobe.
Why? Simply because it’s denim, and denim never goes out of style.
The best part of this trend is that it can double as a shirt by buttoning it up or as an outer layer over any shirt.
All this makes it the perfect timeless and versatile basic to take into spring and summer.

Spring Outfit Ideas #3: White Jeans
BANANA REPUBLIC High Rise Skinny Jeans ($100)
Every woman should have a pair of classic white jeans in her capsule wardrobe.
Regardless of what you may have heard in the past, white jeans are easily styled year-round.
That’s right white jeans are just as versatile as your blue and black jeans.
Obviously, they are the perfect lighter shade for spring and summer.
But they’re just as amazing to style in the winter (think winter whites).
And if white is too stark try a sister shade like off-white or ecru-colored jeans.

Spring Outfit Ideas #4: Heather Gray Blazer
ASOS Gray Blazer ($56)
Gray is such a fun color to incorporate this time of year.
And many overlook the color gray when it comes to blazers.
You may think blazers are only suited for office attire or in cooler weather.
But that’s not the case.
A gray blazer offers an alternative to the more popular typical black and tan blazers.
You will find yourself reaching for it often because of its versatility and its effortless way of elevating the look of any outfit.

Spring Outfit Ideas #5: Cropped Jeans

Another big trend these days is the cropped jeans look.
Although it seems they have become a recent trend lately, the truth is that cropped jeans have been around for years.
Remember that denim is a classic staple to any capsule wardrobe which is why cropped jeans will not go out of style.
And like the white jeans, they are ideal in any season as well.
They’re a fashionable option to style with heels, tennis shoes, slides, boots, and basically any footwear you can think of.
So make sure to add a pair or two to your list.
I promise this is one trend you will be styling for many years!

Spring Outfit Ideas #6: Denim Midi Skirts
MANGO Midi Denim Skirt ($60)
So while we are on the topic of denim, let’s talk about another popular piece… the midi denim skirt.
It’s another great option that we’re seeing everywhere.
Funny how I can remember always having one on rotation in my closet for quite some time now.
It offers a great alternative to your go-to jeans and the typical denim mini skirt.
And what better to incorporate fashionable style into an otherwise typical boring outfit, than to opt for a denim midi skirt?
Another alternative option to a denim midi skirt would be a cargo midi skirt.
The cargo material is very similar to denim material and can still give you that trendy timeless style.

And the chunkier trend sneakers are no exception.
They can still create a very chic-looking outfit.
They provide the perfect comfy shoe option to style with just about anything in your wardrobe including jeans, trousers, skirts, loungewear, shorts, and athleisure!
Try picking up a couple of options that can take you seamlessly from outfit to outfit in all seasons.

The color nude + sandal + heel = a must-have for spring and summer!
We’re talking about a shoe with crazy versatility and style that you can wear with just about any outfit.
Seriously, a heel will instantly elevate the look of any outfit.
Which is why you will almost always find me in a pair.
But if heels aren’t for you then a flat nude sandal will provide just as much style.
Ivory or white tones are also great to start incorporating into your capsule shoe collection in preparation for spring and summer.
