Is the end of the hot chocolate and fuzzy sweater season getting you down, collegiettes? Winter may be close to its end this year, but with the end of the cold season comes the warmer one: spring! Packing away bulky sweaters and scarves means digging out those florals and pastels you’ve been dying to resurrect. The chilly and snow-packed days are lessening and the sun is inching out behind the clouds. While progressing into the spring season can be challenging if you’re not sure how to dress for the weather, Her Campus American decided to make it easier for you by suggesting these winter to spring transition pieces. You probably already own at least one of these items, so test them out and make your wardrobe transition from winter to spring an easy one!
Oxfords
Go classic with a warm brown pair or be bold with a metallic pair! Oxfords are a fall/winter staple that can easily be worn with ankle socks in the winter and a floral pattern dress in the spring.
Utility Jacket
The jacket’s array of colors and typically masculine fit make it an effortless combination when worn with a chunky sweater and jeans in the cold season. With light blouses and skirts, the masculine aspect of the jacket can be styled easily by adding a feminine touch in the warm season.
Scarves
Light, flowing scarves can keep you warm while winter transitions into spring. Pair a woven top with a light scarf, and you’re all set for those brisk spring mornings and warmer afternooons!
Cut-out Ankle Boots
A relatively recent trend, these boots are the perfect winter to spring transition piece because of their ability to adapt to the season. Wear cut-out ankle boots with thick socks and tights in the winter and a light top and skirt in the spring.
Denim Shirt
A must-have piece in every collegiette’s wardrobe; a denim shirt can be worn in any season. For transitioning from winter to spring, a denim shirt can be layered under a round-neck sweater for the cold season and worn with a pastel-colored dress in the spring.
