Having trouble finding spring outfit inspiration? If dressing for both April showers and sporadic sunshine is draining your passion for fashion, try getting creative with your wardrobe choices.
Come spring, it's time to stash away the fuzzy Uggs, Crocs and slippers that have been burying your toes since the sun hid behind the clouds and think about slightly warmer temperatures.
Of course, throughout Russia it is not much warmer than in the southern regions, especially in the notoriously drizzly month of April. And this means that the season of uncertainty is coming, when it is neither warm nor cold. This, in turn, leads to chaos every time we reach into our closets to get dressed.
The key to choosing clothes for this in-between, not-so-spring weather lies in the details.
Walking in a Sweater
The virtues of the humble sweater vest are widely praised, but it's during the transition between seasons that this knit truly shines.Throw it on over a crisp white shirt when it's drizzling outside and it's a shame to look at the sky, and if a miracle happens and the sun comes out, just take off the shirt and put on a vest to go outside lightly.
Stylish jacket
A plaid blazer should be a staple in every working woman's wardrobe, but if you don't have one in your wardrobe, the mid-spring weather is the perfect time to bring it to the forefront. This is a jacket that doesn't swaddle or add too much extra weight, and is stylistically perfect for warming up a shivering body from the spring wind without detracting from the outfit. This is a blazer that's as easy to drape over your shoulders in the sun as it is to layer over a jumper in the drizzle. A true transitional option.
Fashionable knitwear
Unfortunately, even though the daffodils are blooming, the promise of warm weather is still just a vague prospect looming in the future. To style for this uncertain weather, embrace fashionable knits that are the spring equivalent of winter's wool warmers. These are lightweight jumpers, cardigans and shirts made from the thinnest and most breathable fabrics in the knitwear kingdom: cashmere and cotton. Throw them over a T-shirt and under a blazer for a spring outfit that's ready for any occasion.
Multi-layering
It may not need to be said, but when the weather refuses to cooperate, so should your style. Instead of taking the risk of wearing a flimsy T-shirt, embrace layering, which is one of the best-kept secrets of Scandinavian style.Layering makes clothes for less-than-spring weather a dream: start with a white tank, add a classic tee, a layer of spring knit, throw on a vest just in case, and top it all off with a trench, a transitional must-have.
Light raincoat
Keep the April showers at bay with a classic and timeless trench coat whose beauty lies in its ability to keep the wind at bay. Add the camel trench coat, seen at every fashion week, to your wardrobe and watch it become the hardest working member of your wardrobe. Ideal for drizzly days, sunshine and spring coolness. A true all-rounder.
