5 TRANSITIONAL WARDROBE MUST-HAVES

A transitional winter-to-spring wardrobe involves introducing color, prints, and lighter fabrics, while maintaining layer ability. To achieve this look, start by adding vibrant color such as shades of green to liven up your typical winter wardrobe. Prints and florals are also a great way to begin introducing spring style, while longer lengths and sleeves keep you warm.
To achieve a transitional winter-to-spring wardrobe, layer a cute cardigan or trench in a brighter shade of green over denim and simple 3/4” sleeve top, or floral wrap with long sleeves. Another great way to introduce green and florals is with a scarf or jacket. Boots or booties continue to work for winter, while introducing a transitional spring look.
No 1 - Florals & Prints
Deep florals in dramatic lengths and styles such as off-shoulder or ruffled sleeves, adds drama while introducing a new look to transition into the new season. Zara’s spring 19 floral and print collections take on fresh style with interesting color combinations and detail.
We like this long-sleeve tunic dress, by Zara, due to its style detailing, color combination and layer ability. This dress provides coverage with long sleeves, while introducing a spring look. The dress can be dressed up for special occasions and also looks great with a neutral handbag for date nights or brunch. Layer under a cute jacket on cooler days.
The off shoulder floral top, by Zara, is unique and equally adorable with small floral print in bright shades that welcomes spring in style. Long sleeves and fitted, ruched bodice is great for layering under jackets or worn alone on warmer days.
Black and white prints are always a fun combination. Classic lines create the perfect backdrop for artistic expression. Play up Zara's belted black and white coat style dress with elegant earrings, colorful pants and skirts, or dress down with sleek denim and a cute wedge.

No 2 - A Pretty Blouse
A pretty blouse compliments your wardrobe staples such as denim, pencil skirts, or pants, while creating a brand new look to welcome the new season. For a winter to spring look, opt for patterns or floral prints.

A bold, long-sleeve jersey dress in vibrant color combinations, such as navy and red, welcome spring in style. Bold color with feminine details, such as a wrap waistline and scooping neckline, creates drama with hints of romance. It's a perfect look for welcoming warmer weather.
No 4 - Green
Green adds life to any wardrobe. Playful yet sophisticated, green is the color to welcome warmer weather. It’s a color to transition seasons, while maintaining depth to look great when layered. During transition from cold to warmer seasons, we recommend avoiding pastel prints and lighter florals to save these soft combinations for spring and summer. Deep tones are appropriate to introduce the new season.
A cute romper, in forest green, is a great look that can be easily layered for cooler days. Pair with a cute bootie for a polished look.
A clean, streamlined silhouette such as a classic trench jacket looks great on women of all ages and body types. A tailored look sets the tone for the warmer season making it a great transitional piece. The Mac trench coat, by LOFT, in fresh willow green, is a great look for a transitional wardrobe and can easily be dressed up or down.
Introduce green in accessories such as a floral scarf in navy and greens, or a classic tote with green and gold accents. As the weather warms up, a basketweave tote welcomes spring in style.
A marled boyfriend cardigan is a layer to love in colder months. From work days to brunch, you can’t go wrong with a simple cardigan. We recommend wrapping yourself in comfort with a long sleeve, longer length option that is perfect for transitioning from winter to spring.
Pair a green cardigan with black under layers for added drama and depth on cooler days. Gold accessories play up the clean lines for a more dramatic look for spring.
Esme boots by TOMS
Esme’s versatility and ease make it a wardrobe staple and great option for a winter-to-spring wardrobe. The Chelsea boot design details are inspired by the handicrafts of the Andean Mountains and the signature elastic “V” from the iconic Alpargatas.
No 5 - A Tote
Dooney & Bourke's Florentine Amelie large shoulder bag is a perfectly neutral bag that sets off a spring wardrobe in polished perfection. The bag's structure lends to each outfit by offering timeless style with European craftsmanship for a quality piece to last season after season. Top handles and gold hardware exude ladylike polish and pops of green invite spring.
