Winter to Spring
Spring is here and with it comes the rain, which means it’s time to break out something that will keep you warm and dry. As the weather changes from winter to spring, it can be difficult to find something that makes you happy, and our clothes can actually have an impact on our mood (granted, so does being caught in a rainstorm without the right shoes!) The key to dressing for the rain filled spring season especially is to have a balance of practicality and style. With the right clothing choices, you can stay dry while also looking fashionable. In this article, we will explore some practical and stylish fashion choices that will help refresh your wardrobe for the wet spring.
Jacket
First, let’s talk about outerwear. During the spring, a waterproof jacket is a must-have. Look for a jacket made with waterproof and breathable material such as Gore-Tex or a coated nylon. These types of materials will keep you dry, but also allow for air to circulate and prevent overheating. A raincoat or trench coat is also a great option for the spring. These styles are classic, timeless, and can easily be dressed up or down. Look for one in a neutral color like beige or black, so it will match with any outfit.
Pants
When it comes to pants during the rainy season, look for options that are waterproof and breathable. Again you’ll want something breathable but waterproof so they will keep you dry while also allowing air to circulate and prevent overheating. If you want to keep it more stylish, look for pants that have a sleek, regular pants-like design or clear rain pants that can be worn over your regular pants. Also, consider light-colored or neutral-colored pants, it’s easier to mix and match with other clothes and avoid looking too dark and gloomy.
Shoes
When looking for shoes during the spring season, it’s important to find options that are waterproof and have good traction. Look for shoes made with a rubber or synthetic material, as they will provide the best protection from the rain. Rain boots are a great choice, they are perfect for splashing in puddles or running errands on a rainy day. If you’re looking for a more stylish fit, closed-toe shoes with a waterproof material or coated leather upper can also work well. Avoid shoes that are made of fabric or have open-toe as they can easily get wet, and your foot will be exposed to the water. Another tip, try to go for shoes that are easy to clean, so you can maintain them properly after a rainy day.
Accessories
During the spring, accessories are an important part of staying stylish and practical. The first must-have accessory is an umbrella. Look for one that is sturdy and made with a waterproof material to ensure it will protect you from the rain. Clear umbrellas for rain or those with a fun pattern can also add a pop of color to your outfit. A rain hat or a baseball cap can also be useful for keeping the rain off your face and head. A rain scarf or poncho can also be a good option to have on hand, they can be used to protect clothing and hair from getting wet. A waterproof and durable bag or tote can also be useful for carrying items without worrying about them getting wet. And lastly, do not forget a waterproof phone case or cover, to protect your device from the rain.
Sweater
In terms of the actual clothes, you can wear a versatile layering is key, so you can easily adjust to the changing weather. Opt for lightweight layers that can be easily removed or added as needed. A sweater or a light cardigan can be worn under a jacket, or on its own when the weather warms up. A long-sleeved shirt or blouse is also a good choice for layering. Try to stay away from heavy fabrics like wool, which can be uncomfortably warm in the spring.
Tip: Don’t Forget About Colors
When it comes to colors during the spring season, it’s a good idea to incorporate bright and pastel shades into your wardrobe. Light blue, pink, yellow, and green are all great choices for the spring. These colors can evoke feelings of freshness, and new beginnings. Light colors are also perfect to reflect sunlight, and can keep you feeling cool and fresh, as the temperatures rise. Wearing colors that are in season also helps to give your wardrobe a current and refreshed look. In addition, neutral colors like beige, gray and white can provide a good balance for your outfit, giving you more choices to mix and match your clothes.
