As April transitions into May, it’s that tricky time of year when the weather can’t quite make up its mind. On most spring days, you might still need a cozy layer in the morning, but by afternoon, the sun is shining brightly. Warmer days are certainly coming, but as much as I want to, I don’t think it’s time to put away my winter pieces yet. This calls for transitional outfits that seamlessly blend winter warmth with springtime style.

Here are a few winter-to-spring outfit ideas to make your spring transition seamless.

1. Pippa Short Dress

$150

A classic silhouette that is comfortable and flattering, this is a perfect dress for transitional weather. Pair it with a cozy cardigan or a tailored blazer to stay warm while embracing the new season. Add opaque tights and ankle boots to complete the ensemble on colder days.

Fit Notes: The dress runs true to size but may be slightly short for taller individuals. Consider sizing up for a more relaxed fit. I have a size S.

2. Emy Dress

$150

This is the dress you throw on when you want to wear PJs but still want to pull yourself together—which is where I often find myself. The gold buttons on the shoulder give the relaxed fit of the dress a bit of oomph. Pair it with sneakers and an oversized coat or wear it with knee-high boots and chunky earrings for an elevated twist.

Fit Notes: This dress fits true to size and offers a flattering silhouette for various body types. I have a size S.

3. Justine Basket

$285

Crafted from woven straw with leather accents, the Justine basket adds a touch of rustic charm to any outfit. I have been wearing this bag non-stop. It goes with my black outfits, complements spring dresses, and emanates the Jane Birkin casual chic vibe I love.

Fit Notes: This bag is roomy enough to hold all your essentials, but may be too large for those looking for a more compact bag.

4. Gustavo Trousers

$125

These pants are SO GOOD. I have been wanting a pair of pants that isn’t so oversized but still casual enough that it doesn’t look like I’m dressed in business casual attire. I love the fit of the Gustavo trousers—it makes them perfect for both casual and formal occasions. These are also ideal for layering during the transition from winter to spring. Pair them with a cozy, chunky sweater and ankle boots for a stylish cold-weather spring outfit, or dress them up with a silk blouse and heels for a more polished look.

Fit Notes: These trousers have a tailored fit and run true to size, but may be slightly long for shorter individuals. They hit me right at the ankles and I’m 5’ 6”. I have a size 4.

5. Betty Cardigan

$170

The classic design and versatile silhouette of the Betty cardigan make it perfect for layering over dresses, blouses, and tees. It has a lovely structured look. It looks great over a T-shirt with jeans or a dress for a casual outdoor event.

Fit Notes: This cardigan runs true to size and offers a relaxed fit that’s perfect for layering. I have a size XS.

6. Madelyn Skirt

$195

The Madelyn skirt is what I’ve been looking for!! The feminine silhouette and midi length make it a timeless addition to any wardrobe. I have worn it with the Edwin jumper and ballet flats for a more casual vibe and with a tight turtleneck and heels for a date night.

Fit Notes: This skirt runs true to size and offers a flattering silhouette for various body types. I’m in a size 4.

7. Edwin Jumper

$130

Another classic silhouette!! The lightweight knit fabric provides warmth without adding bulk, making the Edwin jumper an ideal layering piece for all seasons. Pair it with high-waisted jeans and ballet flats for a chic winter-to-spring look. It also styles beautifully with a little mini skirt and socks with loafers. I’ve gotten so many compliments on this simple closet staple, which is exactly what you want from those hard-working basics.

Fit Notes: This jumper runs true to size and offers a relaxed fit that’s perfect for layering. I’m in a size S.

Transitioning your outfits from winter to spring is all about embracing versatility and style. It illustrates how much versatility great staples and solid basics add to any wardrobe.
