It’s Spring 2024 and even though lately style has been spreading out into different aesthetics, there are always a few staples every season. Even thought it is getting warmer out, Florida is still having random cold fronts which will probably continue til April. So, what to wear? Here are five easy pieces you can keep in your wardrobe.
1) Maxi Skirts
Maxi skirts are coming back in and they’re super cute for this spring season. A long, flowy, floral skirt paired with a more form-fitting tank top is a perfect go-to to have in your closet. Hyper-femineity and “ballet-core” have been in for some time now, so if you want you could also pair this cute outfit with ballet flats or slingback heels. Maxi skirts are perfect for spring because in Florida, by the time summer comes, it gets too hot to sport a full-length skirt.
2) Linen Pants
Linen pants are perfect for a European aesthetic spring. My personal favorites are from Brandy Melville. They are long, but you can hem them however short you may need. These striped linen pants paired with a white cropped tee or even to wear over your swimsuit as a cover-up are a must-have and you can continue to wear them into summer. I would pair this outfit with a pair of sandals or sambas. The only issue would be wrinkles, which are an easy iron away.
3) Lace Tops
Lace is in every season, but especially in spring. Plain-colored lace-trimmed tank tops are a staple and can be paired with every item on this list. You can find them in every color and they can be easily dressed up or down. Another option is entirely lace sheer tops, paired with a nude-colored undershirt. Vogue explains the comfort factor of this.
“As if to combat the heat, designers built a sort of air-con functionality into their garments, opting for mesh, eyelet, lace, and other openwork techniques to offer ventilation,” Vogue said.
4) Sambas
Sambas come in all sorts of colors and you can wear them with both long and short bottoms. I love Sambas because they come in so many different colors and the thin almost ballet-style look is a dainty yet retro look. These are perfect for a sweet, vintage look and are also very comfortable on your feet.
5) Cardigans
We all know cardigans are perfect layers for Winter, but you can actually wear them for spring as well. Wearing cropped cardigans with your outfits this season will add a little warmth for those colder days and a pop of color to any mediocre outfit. Cardigans are super easy to find at any thrift and they are not too expensive. As it transitions into getting a little hotter, you can swap it out for a breezy button-up shirt to wear unbuttoned over your more neutral tops.
Spring is for pastels, flowy clothes and staying cozy while preparing for the Florida heat.
