With spring quickly approaching and winter in the rearview mirror, it’s time to slowly transition out those bulky coats and boots for lightweight outerwear and ballet flats. With a change of seasons, it doesn’t mean you have to completely rewire the way you get dressed in the morning. Because the temperatures from winter to spring aren’t as drastic as say, winter to summer, you can take these 5 easy swaps to elevate your wardrobe this season!

#1 | Heavy Coat to Trench Coat

A trench coat is a classic staple for spring thanks to its lightweight, water-resistant fabric and long length. Easily elevate any outfit by adding a chic trench on top. Keep it open for a relaxed vibe, or tie it at the waist for a more polished look.

#2 | Black/Dark Denim to White/Light Denim

While I think black and dark denim are wardrobe essentials, there’s something about incorporating light/white denim into your spring wardrobe that just makes sense. Lighter washes take the “edge” off and give your outfit a lighter, happier feel.

#3 | Riding Boot to Rain Boot

Rain boots have stood the test of time and when styled correctly, can be a chic addition to your spring wardrobe. In addition to practicality, rain boots are easy to slip on and go!

#4 | Sneakers to Flats

Obviously sneakers are “in” year-round, but once the temperatures start to rise, it’s always fun to break out your flats or loafers that you couldn’t wear in the midst of winter.

#5 | Wool to Cotton

Wool is what we look for in winter clothing to keep warm, whereas cotton pieces provide a little more breathability as the temperatures rise. So, swap your wool sweaters for cotton sweaters as an easy alternative when getting dresses this spring.
