Intermediate weather is challenging to dress for, but it doesn't have to be. When it comes to spring, the sometimes fickle mix of warm sunlight and nippy breezes makes it necessary to still wear layers but in a different way than in winter. Where in the colder weather, we wear layers to keep on for warmth, in the spring, it's wise to prepare outfits with thin layers that you can shed or pull on as necessary depending on the time of the day. Bona fide fashionistas and big spenders might have a luxurious wardrobe from which to pull different types of colours and cuts, but for the most part, all you need is a small collection of essentials that complement each other. Here's a short checklist for easy, effortless spring looks:
In the current fashion climate, peekaboo clothing has become not only trendy but also fairly serviceable. Layering loud prints or solid colours under black mesh or sheer shirts might seem too fussy, but as the fashion cycle wheels away from athleisure and more towards expressing individuality and style through combining different types of prints and textures in one look, crop tops, see-through blouses and sleeves with slits in them are rapidly becoming the norm. In many cases, it’s the sheer elements of these looks themselves that become the statement pieces your friends will be talking about, especially if they’re shimmery like this Silence + Noise Iridescent Shimmer Mesh Tee ($34).
