Just a Whole Wad of Really Cool Styling Ideas to Inspire Your Next Outfit
I'm not sure about you, but even as a fashion editor, I find myself getting stuck in a fashion rut—especially during this weird transitional time when it's not freezing but definitely not warm. I'm altogether ready to be in a spring state of mind.
So today, I thought I'd share a whole bunch of really cool outfits and styling ideas that I've spotted lately to get the sartorial juices flowing and get inspired for the new season ahead. Many of these looks feature cool in-between-season layering tricks as well as easy and simple outfit formulas that always work. Keep scrolling below to inspire your next outfit.
Give your outfit interest and dimension by combining a knit miniskirt with a textured oversize blazer and heavy-duty moto boots (and let those calf socks show!). It's a seriously cool winter-to-spring look.

Spring is the perfect time to lean into the maxi-skirt trend. Pair a long linen one with a longline lightweight jacket and a crisp white tee. Pull the look together with a chic belt. Finish the ensemble with cool sneakers for a look that screams spring.
Shop the key pieces:
There's something about a striped knit sweater and ballet flats that instantly convey the arrival of spring. Go for a refreshingly cool pink-and-green color combo with relaxed jeans.
Shop the key pieces:
The most dominant color trend of 2023 is vibrant chili-pepper red. Wear the trending color with your baggy jeans and a neutral wool coat to uplift your whole look.

An easy way to get into the spring spirit is with colorful accessories. We love the idea of combining neutral tailored pieces with warm-weather accessories such as a bucket hat and beads.
Shop the key pieces:
Ivory hues combined with touches of chic black make every outfit look more expensive. Go for a long coat and a silky skirt to exude The Row vibes.

It's all about denim-on-denim looks this spring—putting a fresh spin on the Canadian tuxedo. Layer your denim for a modern spring look.

Metallics are having a major moment this spring. Silver pants, in particular, have been spotted all over the fashion set. Style them with neutrals to let the statement pants pop. A beige blazer and mules are the perfect combination.

For an easy spring look, opt for relaxed white jeans paired with black slingbacks, a classic belt, and a bomber. Effortlessly cool.
Shop the key pieces:
Add a lighter, brighter touch to your new-season look, and go for pale-pink tailored pieces. Add white sneakers and throw a pastel sweater over your shoulders to give the ensemble a casual touch.

Shop the matching Femi Tailored Trousers ($125).
You just can't go wrong with classic Parisian styling—a long trench, straight-leg jeans, a button-down, a woven bag, and chic mules embody effortlessly chic French-girl spring style.
