Why winter to spring transition for your closet is important
The winter to spring transition is important for your closet because it allows you to take advantage of new trends, update your wardrobe with fresh pieces, and create a look that’s appropriate for the new season.
Winter apparel is typically heavier, and made up of thicker fabrics in darker colors.
As the weather gets warmer in springtime, it’s time to switch over to lighter textures and hues that will keep you feeling cool and stylish.
Introducing the lighter colors from your seasonal color palette and fabrics into your winter wardrobe can help you create an amazing look that looks great at any temperature.
Additionally, adding accessories such as scarves, hats, and jewelry can give an extra pop of color that will stand out no matter the weather.
Lastly, layering clothes gives you a versatile style that can easily be adjusted depending on how hot or cold the day may be!
3 easy style hacks to help you transition from winter into spring
As the weather begins to warm up and the leaves turn green again, it’s time to start thinking about transitioning your wardrobe from winter into spring. But where to start? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Here are three easy style hacks that will help you refresh your look this season.
1. Start With a Fresh Color Palette of Lighter Hues
Trade in your cold-weather neutrals and dark colors (chocolate, black, and burgundy) for some bright, cheerful colors that remind you of springtime blooms. Think pastel blues, pinks, purples, and yellows— check your seasonal color palette to see which looks great on your skin tone!

Also, consider introducing printed patterns like florals or stripes into your wardrobe this season. Not only do they look beautiful but they’re also incredibly versatile; you can wear them dressed down during the day or dress them up at night for a more sophisticated look.
2. Layer It Up This Spring
This is especially important if you live in an area where temperatures fluctuate wildly between day and night. Layering gives you flexibility without having to constantly change clothes throughout the day as temperatures rise or fall.
Tip! “Get cardigans of different warmth levels to suit the various stages of spring. Thick knit cardigans can be just enough on some chilly spring nights, while thin cotton cardigans can be exactly what you need when there is only a hint of chill left in the air before summer.” (source)
Start with a light base layer like an airy blouse or tank top, and add pieces like cardigans or cropped jackets over it for warmth when needed. You could even add a scarf or statement necklace for extra flair!
