Outfit Renewal: Embrace Spring in your Wardrobe
Is Winter Over, Yet?
For a lot of people, it takes almost all of January to recoup from the end-of-year madness: You are no longer furiously shopping for loved ones, rushing to finish up work before the winter break, and those holiday parties have finally come and gone. While there is so much to look forward to during the winter season, sometimes it feels good just to relax and decompress for all the excitement. Isn't that was the whole month of January is for?
The misconception about having a capsule wardrobe is that you can't get anything new and have to stick to just one or two sweaters or pants until forever. However, you can still own and cultivate a capsule wardrobe, but change out seasonal items. If you live somewhere that has drastic weather changes between season, you're not going to be keeping around your down-feather parka when it is hot and sunny outside.
Take a look at some outfit ideas you can refresh and add in some springtime essentials into your outfits:
Wool and Workout
Athleisurewear is not going anywhere, and neither are wool cardigans! Our Blakely Light Wool Cardigan doesn't have to go back with the rest of your winter capsule pieces. You can easily pair this with your favorite athleisure set like our Dara V Top and Aura Slit Knit Skirt. A perfect outfit for adding a little classic modesty, but just enough skin to soak up those shy sun rays.
Top of Many Trades
Everyone has that top that goes with everything and can be worn to anything. You probably reach for it at least once a week. Well now we have a new one for you. Our Kate Cotton Knit Top is so versatile and easy to match with everything from our Dani leggings to a high waisted denim straight leg like our Valerie Classic Jeans. Just because it's cotton doesn't mean it's too casual. The luxurious feel will make you think you're wearing light-weight cashmere. If you're going to have an "everything" top, it better be comfortable, too!
Button Up and Down
Gone are the days when button down shirts were the business casual essential. Looking for a light cover up or something to add more shape and dimension to your outfits without weighing you down? A long and loose button down like our Sheila Button Down shirt is a great way to elongate your figure without having to stick to just long pants or tights. This light fabric makes this shirt easy to tuck in to show off your waist. You can pair it easily with our Laurent Linen Shorts in the same relaxed fabric, or our chic Chloe Wide Leg Trousers for a more sophisticated lens.
Awaken your Wardrobe
But now that spring is just around the corner, there is so much to draw inspiration from. Spring time is synonymous with rebirth, awakening, and rejuvenation. We see this in the flowers that are blooming, the weather that is warming up, and fauna that are waking up from hibernation.
