5 Spring Wardrobe Essentials You Need in Your Closet!

It’s finally feeling like spring in NYC and I’m SO here for it! Though we didn’t really have a rough winter nor a ton of snow, when it was cold it was COLD! So I’m excited to see the sunshine and mild temps coming our way.

Here are a few spring wardrobe essentials that I can’t wait to break out for the season.

White Sneakers

A pair of white kicks has been a spring/summer staple for me every year. White nicely complements the lighter colors and fabrics we start wearing in the spring and, of naturally, they go with everything! Here are a few that I own and a few on my wish list…

White Tee

I always say you can never have enough white tees! Whether short sleeved, long sleeved or sleeveless, the white tee is THE essential for any wardrobe in pretty much any season, any occasion. It can be the star of the show with a pair of perfectly-fitting jeans or as a layering piece under a linen suit or denim ensemble.

Denim Jacket

If you don’t own at least one denim jacket… “baby, what is you doin’?!” LOL! It’s one of those pieces that you can keep casual with jeans or add to a normally dressy piece to kinda “casualize” it, much like I did with this shimmery pleated skirt. You can literally throw a denim jacket over anything to give it an instant touch of style. If you’re feeling fancy, a white denim jacket is also a nice addition to your spring wardrobe. 

Cute Midi Skirts

I own a TON of skirts! While I have no problem wearing many of them in the wintertime – with some clever layering – I LOVE bringing them out in the spring when they can blow in the cool breeze of the season. I love pleated skirts the most but I don’t discriminate. Come spring, the florals and bright solids make their appearance. These are some faves I’ve been eyeing.

Head Wraps

No doubt, I rock these all year round. But I feel like I can really break out all of my bright and funky patterns come warmer weather! This black and white one – worn two ways here – is from a brand called Wrapper Delights (and is sold out) but you can grab any type of scarf in a pattern you like and tie it into a nice style. In this photo, I simply tied the wrap into a bow and adjusted to my liking. Here’s a tutorial for the head wrap style in the opening photo. 

So how about you? What are some pieces you absolutely need to complete your spring wardrobe?
