It's Official—These Spring Outfits Are the Only Ones Worth Copying

I’ve lost count of the number of times people have told me they have no idea what to wear recently. And it was only yesterday this conversation led to a friend and me admitting we have no idea how we used to wear a different outfit for work every day. If you're rotating the same four/five outfits on repeat at the moment, you’re not alone. With it still being super chilly and spring clothes appearing in the shops, it's bound to make anyone feel, well, confused.

I'm in the position right now where I'm ready to try out new spring/summer trends but also happy to stick to capsule wardrobe classics. So with this in mind, I headed to some of my favourite Instagram accounts I always go to when I need to feel excited about getting dressed again. And, of course, I instantly felt inspired to give my trousers, jumper and ankle boots a day off in favour of fresh spring outfit combinations. Here are nine simple (read: minimal-effort-needed) outfits that are bound to mix up your daily uniform.

1. Floral Shirt + Jacket + Jeans

Style Notes: You can go for any shirt and jacket/blazer, but Linne's styling tip of going for matching clashing prints totally works. Try it out with stripes, spots or checkerboard.

2. Knit + Miniskirt + Knee-High Boots

Style Notes: Don't pack your knits away as warmer weather approaches. Instead, wear them with a miniskirt and bare legs as soon as spring is in the air.

3. Camel Suit + Bold Accessories

Style Notes: Brights are always perfect for spring—add accents of colour to your classic neutrals for a whole new spin on casual suiting.

4. Knitted Midi Dress + Blazer

Style Notes: The knit dress should be part of any capsule wardrobe, no matter the season. Abisola styles a pastel iteration with an oversized boxy blazer, and I can't get enough of this simple but effective look.

5. Jacket + Wide-Leg Trousers + Chunky Sandals

Style Notes: Spring means we can ditch some layers, so why not wear a jacket as a top? Keep it minimal like Nisi did with wide-leg trousers, and dig those platform sandals back out.

6. Minidress + Mary Janes

Style Notes: Mary Janes are back with a bang this season, so we're coping Zeena and styling them with a puff-sleeve minidress. So dreamy.

7. Co-Ord + Coat

Style Notes: The weather is unpredictable, so a coat is never a bad idea. Emmanuelle layers a sharp tailored style over a cool co-ord, and no doubt this will be your outfit equation for every upcoming event. 

SHOP THE LOOK:

8. Jumper + Maxi Skirt + Converse

Style Notes: The knit of the season. Let your half-zip jumper get more air time this year by pairing it with a maxi skirt. Because, yes, they're also making a comeback. 

SHOP THE LOOK:

9. Midi Dress + High-Neck Top

Style Notes: Wear your favourite summer dresses already by layering a second-skin high neck top underneath. It's all about clever, fuss-free layers for spring.
