7 Spring and Summer Wardrobe Tips

Are you looking for a little help when it comes to what to wear this summer? There are a number of fun ways to stay — and look — cool during the warmer months. Here are seven spring and summer wardrobe tips to keep in mind.

1. Invest In Some Nice Button Down Shirts

The nice thing about these shirts is that they can be dressed up or down. Consider adding some fun button down shirts in colorful or floral patterns that you can wear for any casual occasion. Dressy button down shirts can also be worn to work or for semi-formal occasions.

2. Build a Capsule Wardrobe

This tip will make your life easier when it comes to choosing your clothes on a regular basis. First, choose a few staple pieces that look good with your body type. These pieces should be able to be worn interchangeably to mix and match outfits. This is what is known as a capsule wardrobe.

It can help to incorporate a certain color palette into your capsule. For example, clothes in similar shades or in neutral tones are easier to mix and match. Some basics to include in your capsule wardrobe include a plain white t-shirt or tank top, jeans, a denim jacket, and a black leather jacket for women. You can create multiple outfits from these basic items, and they can also be worn during other seasons as well.

3. Buy Some Blazers

Whether you’re planning to wear sweatpants or leggings and a t-shirt, a spring dress or jeans and a floral blouse, a blazer will complement every look, These jackets are lightweight, which makes them perfect for spring and summer, and they’re also great for dressing up or down.

4. Try Mixing Patterns

Spring can be a great time to experiment with different color schemes and patterns. For example, consider mixing bright florals with black and white stripes or animal prints. This can be a great way to add an extra pop of color to your wardrobe and create a more texturized look.

5. Play Around With Different Shades (And No, We Don’t Mean Colors)

Many people tend to reach for their sunglasses more during the spring and summer months. This can be a fun time to experiment with different types of shades. From brightly colored frames to animal print and oversized black frames, you can really change up your entire wardrobe with the right pair of sunglasses.

6. Try Out Different Types of Shoes

Spring and summer are great times to break out the heels, wedges, flip-flops, and sandals. It can also be a good time to try out new sneakers or running shoes. Whether you choose neutral-colored shoes or opt for a fun color or animal print, it can really make a huge difference to your whole outfit.

7. Switch Up Your Accessories

The warmer months bring about the opportunity to experiment with accessories. For example, you can try out bracelets, anklets, and toe rings. You might also try pairing long necklaces with V-neck tops or shirts with plunging necklines.

You can also get creative when it comes to purses, backpacks, messenger bags, and camera bags. It’s a great time to try out bright colors and floral prints when it comes to these accessories.  Summer is also a great time to try out hair accessories.
