Doesn’t it often seem that our mindsets travel faster than the seasons? Though spring is not officially upon us, we’re mentally (and sartorially) already there. Unfortunately, tank tops and mini skirts don’t agree with the lingering frigid temps. That said, there are ways to circumvent that issue by adding things like over-the-knee boots and extra layers to your ensemble. For a bit more inspiration, we’ve recreated three different looks that prove you can still dress for spring, in spite of the weather patterns, without sacrificing warmth.
Mini Hemline + Menswear Shirt + Vest
Light layers is the safest approach to dressing for spring, so even when you opt for a mini skirt, a sleeve and a vest are a safe bet for the top half. And as soon as weather permits, offset the formality of a suiting vest with your everyday sandals.
Cotton Shirt
Oversized Vest with Pockets
Belted Shorts
Square Sunglasses
Harvey Calfskin Flat Gladiator Sandals
Courtney Small Drawstring Leather Crossbody Bag
Tailored Separates + Crop Top + Wide-brim Hat
A flash of skin infuses workwear staples with a dose of youth. Opt for a knit crop top beneath your coordinating blazer and trousers then finish everything off with chunky boots and a statement-making hat.
Marquesa Blazer
Etienne Pants
Cable-knit Wool-cashmere Bralette
The Mirage
Penelope Leather Shoulder Bag
Zip-front Leather Ankle Boots
Shirt Dress + Sweater + OTK Boots
Over-the-knee boots are the perfect solution to mini hemlines' lack of defense against biting winds. We love the way Lauren Santo Domingo paired a classic shirt dress with black leather footwear then sealed in the heat with a chunky knit.
