Before we dive in, let's remember there's truly no such thing as a perfect outfit. Everyone has their own unique personal style, so your perfect casual or work-friendly spring outfit would be whatever makes you feel the most comfortable and confident. That said, we think a few key elements make up some of the most up-to-date looks. Essentially, when an ensemble causes us to do a double take or double tap on Instagram, it's because it features a culmination of specific forward components.
To explore this matter further, we're sharing our checklist of the principal details of the perfect easy spring outfit. Keep this list in the back of your mind, or save it to your phone for easy reference when styling. And to showcase the aspects in action, we've rounded up some of the chicest spring looks. So without further ado, keep scrolling for some shopping inspiration to stimulate and encourage your spring outfit game.
Outfits that fit the bill:
V-necked sweaters will never go out of style. They look elevated when paired with spring-ready linen shorts.
This incredibly soft sweater is such a great everyday piece.
Beach vacation, anyone?
This looks considerably more expensive than $70.
A slouchy trench looks incredibly modern when worn over a simple yet forward ensemble that features a knit, leather trousers, and chic accessories like a chunky chain necklace and mules.
Trench coats are so practical for rainy spring weather.
Hurry, these are selling fast.
Gold-chain jewelry is timeless.
These are so pretty.
Tucking a blazer into wide-leg trousers is particularly forward and of the moment. Bonus points if you push up the sleeves. The addition of an eye-catching clutch further ties together this sophisticated look together.
A fitted blazer is such a great staple to have in your closet.
Who needs boring black slacks when you have a cute printed pair?
This gorgeous bag is currently on sale at Nordstrom.
While this 'fit may seem simple at first glance with a short-sleeve tee and black trousers, it's actually quite forward because of the details. In fact, it seamlessly checks all the boxes on our list. The fuzzy texture and exaggerated sleeves on the top bring dimension to the look, while the skinny-but-not-too-skinny straight-leg pants add a modern touch. Square-toe strappy sandals and a white clutch complete this effortless outfit.
We can always rely on & Other Stories for great basics.
You can't go wrong with Levi's.
We love everything about these patent peep-toe shoes.
The vest could actually replace the blazer as a new wardrobe basic this spring. As a fresh tailoring piece, a gilet works well with straight-leg jeans. If you really want to go for it, follow this style setter and add flashy extras like a chain belt and bag.
It's time to try out a vest like this chic one.
Try this classy plus-size vest for a similar feel.
Gray jeans are so versatile.
Black ankle boots are always a good idea.
This ensemble of a shacket and leather pants is easy, comfortable, and very stylish.
This shacket is on sale for only $32.
Mango always has the best prices.
Nike has never let us down.
Integrate an architectural tank into your ensemble with a slouchy short-sleeve shirt to bring a laid-back element. Pair these pieces with bootcut jeans that bunch slightly around square-toe booties for an A+ fit.
This cute tank top is a top seller.
This looks so cute when worn unbuttoned over a tank top. Shop the plus-size version here.
