Oh, the arrival of spring. For many, it's a breath of fresh air and a long-awaited moment to start losing all the layers and reach for stylish lightweight options instead. The transition can often lead to some confusion about what exactly to wear thanks to the unstable weather that the season is known for. (One moment it's warm; the next it's chilly.) Thankfully, there is an endless stream of spring outfit inspiration that we can draw from when we are in a transitional style rut.
My usual source for stylish outfit ideas is Instagram since it is a convenient direct line to the most stylish people you can think of, all sharing their latest looks in real time. From effortless everyday looks with basic tops and jeans to elevated moments with elegant tops, trousers, and more, I rounded up some standout ensembles that are worth trying over the next couple of months. Now, I know that spring will mean something quite different for those around the globe, so I made sure to include looks that appeal to not only a range of personal styles but a variety of climates as well.
