As we enter spring, and with a welcome change of weather in sight, wardrobes are ready for a seasonal switch up, with lighter and brighter pieces being thrown in the mix.
The warmer weather brings a fresh sense of energy and the opportunity to embrace airy fabrics, lighter tones and effortless layers. With the countless options a spring wardrobe has to offer, it’s all about style choices that make a statement and elevate your everyday outfits. TK Maxx’s latest Spring Fashion Style Guide provides inspiration and tips on how to build your wardrobe and spring into action!
Spring outfits for women
Springtime often means chilly mornings, warm afternoons and cold evenings, often making it tricky picking wardrobe staples that will keep you as warm as they do stylish. Breathable and lightweight layers are your best friend this time of the year, being adaptable to the unpredictable weather.
Colour palette
Spring colours mean bright and soft. Butter yellow, pistachio green and powder pink always fit the theme. Florals and stripes also suit that seasonal vibe, reflecting the vibrant flowers and pairing these tones with ethereal, flowy materials will ensure you are on trend yet sunshine ready.
Spring wardrobe staples
Dresses: Mini, midi and maxi all work this time of the year. Brunch? mini it is! Spring Christening? TK Maxx’s range of midi and maxi dresses offer the ultimate blend of chic and formal!
Tops: When curating your spring tops focus on a few key items that emphasise versatility. The goal should be appropriate for work, the weekends and formal occasions, bringing in elegance combined with value. White tees, oversized shirts, linens and pastel hues will work perfectly.
Shoes:
As for footwear, spring calls for a heel, so boot-out those trainers and explore our range of westerns, knee highs, Chelseas, whatever gives you that comfort and confidence. Pro tip: pairing boots with a tee and a flowy dress or jeans is a timeless, foolproof combination.
Work outfits
Work outfits in the spring also ‘follow-suit’ applying the same principles of breathable, lightweight materials to more formal styles. To ensure you’re as professional as you are comfortable, the foundation of the outfit could be trousers or chinos paired with an airy shirt or blouse. Top this off with a warm blazer or cardigan to account for the breezes and a trench coat if spring showers are also in the forecast. Shoes should be both be commute and meeting friendly, so picking up a pair of loafers, ankle boots or smarter trainers should get the ‘job’ done. Finally, apply neutral colours, bright accents and minimalist accessories as a finishing touch, mixing trendy with traditional.
Menswear
That’s right, adapting your wardrobe to the warmer temperatures in the coming months is just as important for men. With lightweight jackets, sharp shirts and crisp trousers, what’s not to love. Equally, when the weather takes a colder turn, blazers, denim jackets and soft cardigans can help to insulate while being easy to integrate, so that you can maintain a timeless look. For your bottom half, chinos, jeans and tailored shorts are all great picks that can be rotated for the day-to-day weather. If chinos are the choice, a Chelsea boot is a perfect pairing, jeans with a loafer are a modern classic and trainers fit the more relaxed look of tailored shorts.
