Spring Transitional Outfits

Transitional outfits are clothing and accessory combinations that adapt to changing temperatures and conditions. In the springtime, the mornings and evenings are often cool, or even frigid, while the sun's stronger angle warms everything nicely midday. Throw in the unknowns of a typical office environment – will the heat or air conditioning blast today? – and planning your outfit for the day feels like a college calculus word problem.

Never fear! We have the answer to your struggles right here – effortless outfits for any weather. Let's begin with the basics:

• Start with a cozy outer layer for those chilly early spring mornings. A luxurious oversized cashmere sweater will keep you warm morning, evening, and in the cool office air conditioning. It pairs well with almost any bottoms and will make shedding that warm layer a breeze when you step outside for lunch or a walk to the coffee shop.
  Our Bouclé Shacket is another great option for the cooler parts of the day. Crafted from midweight merino wool bouclé yarn in a casual silhouette, it will be your go-to layer on weekend mornings.
  
  
• Lightweight base layers will keep your spring wardrobe on point all season. In early spring, a breathable bamboo stretch-knit, long-sleeve tee works well to ensure all-day comfort, while our brushed bamboo, square-neck tank will look great when it's time to soak in some sun in May.
  When you need something a little warmer than a t-shirt but not as thick as a cardigan, try a lightweight sweater, like the Rowan Sweater. It's the perfect top for spring weather!
  
  
• Breathable bottoms will keep you comfortable throughout the day. Cozy Earth is known for our ultra-comfortable bamboo clothing because we balance softness with temperature regulation. Whether you choose the new brushed bamboo midi skirt or our polished modal wide-leg pants, you'll be ready for whatever the day brings.
  
  Pro tip: Early in the season, pair the skirt with tights to provide a little extra coverage on chilly commutes.
  
  
• Comfy coord sets make dressing for changing weather a breeze. Try our new Chelsea Pullover and Cropped pant for an effortlessly pulled-together look. Made from French terry, this breathable, organic cotton set is stylish enough for weekend outings and cozy enough for a relaxing day inside.
  
  
• When it's no longer fur-lined boot weather, but not quite sandal season, a pair of close-toed mules or laid-back clogs bridge the seasons nicely on a sunny day. You might want to keep rain boots handy if spring is the rainy season in your region.
  
  
• Speaking of rain gear, grab a brightly colored umbrella on your way out the door, or play it safe and keep a light rain jacket in your car for those sudden April showers.
  
  
• For sunny days, a pair of polarized shades and our versatile vintage cap will protect your eyes and prevent flyaways when the March wind whips up. Don't forget your daily dose of sunscreen.

Step away from the dark colors of winter and choose lighter, softer hues. Pastels and creams are timeless colors for spring, but if you want to be a little bolder, add a single piece in a brilliant pink or bright blue.

Switch up your accessories. Trade the over-structured shoulder bag for a casual tote that's perfect for a trip to the newly opened farmers' market or an overnight stay at the beach.

Let your jewelry reflect your personality. Whether you prefer an understated pendant or funky layers of pearls, this year's trends are all about you. Don't grab your grandma's single strand of perfectly sized pearls, and stay away from that necklace everyone has. Go for personalized charms bracelets, wildly shaped sunglasses, or a statement belt to cinch your oversized sweater. Just don't wear them all at once. A single statement piece is enough to look chic without going overboard.

We hope this guide to transitional spring outfits helps you step into the season in style and comfort. By choosing smart layers, you'll be ready for changing weather and look great all season.
