Here are some of the coolest, most inspiring spring outfit ideas and 2020 fashion trends perfect for warmer weather. Trust me, you’ll want to screenshot these and copy them later.
It’s time to crawl out from beneath that pile of chunky knits and puffer jackets you call a winter wardrobe and embrace springtime fashion. Now that the air outside doesn’t actively hurt your face, you can officially bring your beloved skirt suits, cardigans, and mini dresses out of hibernation and into that fresh spring light where they belong.
Muted Pastels
Yeah, yeah, yeah, pastels are trending for spring – we all know the drill. Make the typical springtime pinks, yellows, and purples feel runway-chic by wearing muted versions, instead. This dusty canary blazer still feels fresh, even when layered with darker staples.
Pink and Crimson Colorblock
If you tuned in for even five minutes of the 2019 Emmys, you probably saw about 10 different variations of this trend. Pink and crimson aren’t only for red carpets, though. Pair a simple red top with a pair of pink cargos for a chill recreation of the celeb favorite.
Mini Dress and Blazer
Name a more iconic duo, I’ll wait. The slip dress and blazer are a classic springtime pair-up. Reimagine the look by pulling a Millie and wearing the same hue from head to toe.
Blazers and Bike Shorts
Even if you lived in cool-girl suits all winter long, this easy styling trick will make your blazer feel brand new. Layer it over a pair of long-line bike shorts for straight-up influencer vibes.
Matchy-Matchy Pastel
After four solid months of nothing but blazers and turtlenecks, you’re probably sick of your most trusted dressy pieces. Keep that same professional energy for spring with a pastel blouse-trouser set that mimics a sleek suit. Wear with sneakers for a shot of chillness.
Pretty Statement Sleeves
Along with basically every other ’80s trend, puff sleeves are in the middle of a massive resurgence (as you’ve probably already surmised from your Insta feed). Aimee Song made the detail feel brand new by wearing just one sleeve off-the-shoulder – a style secret you should definitely steal.
Punk Rock Layers
There’s nothing in the fashion world I stan harder than femmes unashamedly showing off their bras. If you don’t feel comfortable walking around in a bustier a la Khloe Kardashian, give Hayley Kiyoko’s styling trick a try. She layered a structured strapless dress over a little lingerie top, over a graphic.
White Denim (With a Little Tie Dye)
Tis the season of bright-white denim! Throw on some sunnies to protect your eyes from the glare off of your pants, jacket, shoes, socks. Then finish with a splash of tie dye, just for that necessary dose of spring color.
Not everything in the ’90s was Posh Spice and grunge. Selena’s button-up midi/oversized knitwear serves up sweet-girl vibes that still feel authentically 1999.
Cool-Girl Suit
A bright springtime color will make your profesh set pop. Pair it with neutral details to bring the outfit down a notch or add on even more color to truly embrace the spring aesthetic.
Vibrant Primaries
Skip the played-out pastels, instead try a mix of electric primary hues. Cobalt blues, crimson reds, and canary yellows will go perfectly with those white sneakers you missed so dearly during the winter months.
Shrunken Ruffles
For some reason warm weather brings out the girly girl in all of us. Suddenly you find yourself buying ruffled crop tops and mirrored heels. Add white pants and you’ve got a whole look.
A Girly Floral Dress (Because, Duh)
If you didn’t wear a floral dress and cardigan, did spring even happen? (Answer: no.) Copy this Betty-inspired look with sneakers for a toned-down fit you can wear to class.
Far Too Much Neon
If you’ve learned anything from the Kardashian/Jenners Instagram accounts, it’s that neon is IT, hunny. A full suit in highlighter hues would be a major overkill, but a cropped short suit is just the right amount of extra.
Spring-y Reds
You don’t have to trade in your reds for watercolor hues just because the weather is no longer sub-zero. Just add light wash denim and ample amounts of white to balance out the rich saturation.
Modern All-White
Ari is a whole mood for spring. As soon as that warm weather hits, you’ll be living in oversized sweatshirts, over-the-knee boots, and PVC accessories.
Sporty Graphics
Athleisure is appropriate for every season, but the colorful geometric print makes this co-ord set feel so spring. Jordyn added punky combat boots and a cross-body fanny pack for a little edge.
Elevated Vintage
If you don’t style it the right way, a buttoned midi dress can look borderline grandma. Whatever you do, do not add a cardigan. Instead, keep those shoulders bare and stack on trending accessories. Square toe boots (or those ’90s strappy sandals) and a micro bag transform the matronly silhouette into a full-on lewk.
Sleek Khakis
You wore these khaki pants basically all winter long. If you’re not over the utilitarian look yet, pair them up with a simple white crop and matching shoes for warm weather.
Mismatched Neutrals
Not into vibrant colors? Take your all-neutral wardrobe into warmer weather by piling on taupes, whites, grays, and browns.
