Wondering What to Wear When It's 40 Degrees Out? We've Got You
Now that daylight savings time has passed, it’s safe to say that spring is well on its way. However, while the temperatures may be rising, they’re not rising that quickly, which means that 40-degree temps are here to stay for the foreseeable future. What does that even mean dressing-wise? Before you can swap out your tights and cozy sweaters for breezy sundresses, we're revisiting what makes sense as far as weather-appropriate dressing.
To help remind you exactly what 40 degrees feels like (buh-bye, below freezing), we’re taking cues from some of our favorite street style stars who have aced dressing for the brink of spring. From a light puffer jacket and leather pants to a dressing up in plaid layers, you’ll be able to stay warm during this transitional time all the way until the flowers are in full bloom.
Stay warm with a fur-trimmed coat and pair it with warm neutrals to bring in some extra color for spring.
A nice change from your standard black booties.Available in sizes 36 to 41.
A '70s-inspired look with a bomber and wide-leg pants are perfect for dressing in slightly above freezing weather.
Tap into that '70s look.Available in sizes UK 6 to UK 14.
A longline furry coat will keep you warm while also letting you wear some lighter pieces underneath.
