4 Outfit Ideas That’ll Turn Heads This Spring

It feels like every winter, you hit a certain point where all you can do is daydream about packing away your bulky puffer coat and heavy boots. Goodbye sub-zero temperatures and slushy gray snow—it’s not you, it’s me.

While that much-needed sunshine is on the horizon, you likely also consider what you’re going to be sporting this spring season. But just what do you wear?

It can be tricky to flip the switch from thick wool sweaters and tights to floaty dresses and light jackets. So, if you’re looking for inspiration for your spring outfits, look no further—read on for four outfit ideas that you’ll be wearing all season long.

#1 Hop Into Spring with the Rita Jumpsuit

Blossoming flowers and budding trees aren’t the only things in bloom when winter turns to spring. As the weather warms up and the sun stops setting at 4 pm (which is the worst part of winter), your social life is probably warming up too. You need an outfit that can take you to both garden parties and beer gardens—something that can effortlessly go from office to out on the town.

Enter your new best friend: the Rita Jumpsuit.

With its silky feel and chic romper styling, all in easy to mix and match black, you’ll be turning to this one piece wonder all springtime long. The criss-cross V-neck top is effortlessly flattering and you’ll love the on-trend silhouette of the flowy bottoms.

You might find jumpsuits intimidating or difficult to style, but don’t break a sweat. Here are some of your new fave waves to style these do it all superstars:

  • Score some good coverage – When pairing your Rita Jumpsuit with an outer layer, look for a cropped denim jacket or leather moto jacket—the shorter shape works great with the long lines of the jumpsuit, while also still keeping you warm during those April showers. One of the best things about jumpsuits is how well they work for transition seasons like spring. You can wear it covered up in blustery March and April and shed those layers once the sunny days of May and June roll around.
  • Get a lift – Long, full-body pieces like jumpsuits can really benefit from a little added height. Wearing it with a heeled or platform shoe helps to create an elongated frame.1 Pair your jumpsuit with a pair of chunky clogs or block-heeled ankle boots for a little extra boost. Once the weather gets warmer, try a platform sandal or a walkable wedge, like the Olivia Sandal in a trendy sage green.
  • Make it official – Looking for a way to wear your jumpsuit to the office? Adding a layer like a cardigan or a blazer is a great way to keep it professional without sacrificing style. Try a blazer with a chic oversized shape with a powerful pop of color like the Roberta Blazer in Pistachio.
  • Layer up – The first few weeks of spring can often feel like they’re still winter—gusty winds, damp cold rains, and so much mud. You don’t have to save your jumpsuits until June—get creative and stay cozy by adding a short-sleeved or long-sleeved t-shirt underneath for a ‘90s-inspired layered look.
  • Add some pizzazz – One of the best parts about the Rita Jumpsuit is its monochromatic elegance. Since it’s all black with a simple shape, you can make it truly your own by adding accessories. Pair it with edgy statement earrings or go bold with oversized gold hoops, or try adding some length with a gold chain pendant (which does double duty as a belt chain, perfect to layer over your jumpsuit) or a colorful coral necklace.
