There’s something about the arrival of spring that sparks such joy when it comes to getting dressed. It brings an optimistic shift in our wardrobes—not one that requires a whole overhaul, but rather one that rekindles our love for our clothes.

As the seasons shift, so does our perspective. Heavier layers give way to lighter fabrics, relaxed silhouettes and, of course, a softer colour palette. Where winter leans into deep, moody tones, spring opens the door to lighter shades and easy colour combinations that feel fresh and new.

Whether you naturally gravitate towards neutrals or love embracing colour, spring is the perfect time to experiment. Don't believe me? The five colour pairings below are proof that the chicest new-season outfits can be grounded in colour without being overwhelming. Scroll on to discover the spring colour combination outfits I've bookmarked.

Spring Outfits With Colour Combos to Copy Now:

1. Pastel Blue + Black

Style Notes: I have to say, pastel blue isn’t a colour that’s ever really considered adding to my wardrobe until I saw this look from Monikh, and I now cannot stop thinking about this top. I love the contrast between the pastel and the black and how well it works together, without the black feeling too overpowering.

2. Butter Yellow + White

Style Notes: Butter yellow was a huge trend last year, so it’s no surprise that we’re seeing it again this spring. Paired with white, it keeps the overall look soft and considered, and really brings out the impact of the butter yellow. Bring in texture like Nnenna and add a lace-trimmed cami to a strong suit, or pair a leather jacket with white linen trousers.

3. Red + Grey

Style Notes: As much as I love grey, I only ever tend to wear it with black or white, and never branch out to pairing it with colours. I already own red and grey pieces but had never thought to wear them together, so Mimi has given me an influx of inspiration that I’ll be implementing immediately. The good thing about grey and red is you don’t have to keep it to a light grey; play around and use the pieces you already have, no matter the shade.

4. Pastel Pink + Chocolate Brown

Style Notes: An all-time favourite colour combination of mine, there’s just something about pastel pink and chocolate brown that works so well together. It makes the brown feel deeper while still emphasising the pastel pink at the same time. I’ve got several brown pieces, so I can’t wait to invest in some pastel pinks to recreate this.

5. Green + White

Style Notes: Green can be quite an intimidating colour to wear; however, it all comes down to styling. Opting for a more muted green as opposed to anything too bright makes it feel more wearable, and when paired with a white, it gives a chic balance to the look.
