The best part about transitioning to spring is being able to lose that bulky winter jacket, and bringing out those adorable floral prints that you’ve been hoarding at the back of your closet. However, spring in Canada means fluctuating temperatures of freezing cold mornings and intensely hot afternoons, leaving us collegiettes in a state of clothing confusion. Here are a few wardrobe essentials that will keep you both warm and cool!
Knit Sweaters
Whether oversized or cropped, knit sweaters are super easy to layer over a printed dress or simply pair with jeans. This spring essential will keep you comfy and cozy all through the day!
Trench Coat
Splurging on a trench coat is well worth the investment because it will spruce up any outfit. A trench coat can effortlessly make a casual outfit look sophisticated without being over the top. You can purchase these ones at American Apparel.

Maxi Skirt
The exciting thing about spring is finally being able to wear skirts. You can look incredibly stylish, while also being incredibly comfortable in a flowy maxi.
Denim Jacket
