9 Spring Outfits to Try—Straight From the Runways

Planning an outfit when the weather has no say is not easy, to say the least. One minute you may feel that spring has completely arrived, and the next minute you find that you can’t see your fingers out of hand, but two Dress in layers before rushing out the door. Dressing during this brief window of the season requires more thought than you might think, choosing pieces that can adapt to changing temperatures throughout the day.

Going for sophistication and practicality requires you to craft a look with pieces that feel intentional rather than overdone. Lightweight outerwear, versatile separates and stylish accessories are essential during this time, making it easy to add or subtract layers without compromising the look.

For unexpected inspiration on how to master transitional dressing, we turned to the spring fashion shows for guidance. We love the way Fforme pairs Bermuda shorts with a maxi trench coat, and the way Celine pairs a leather jacket with a pussy-bow shirt, tapered trousers and a straw bag. Bottega Veneta and Polo Ralph Lauren have also broken through this boundary, injecting new experiences in color and texture.

Many of these looks can be built around items you already own; others incorporate some of the season’s key pieces, like sporty jackets, low-rise skirts and scarves, making the transition to spring a little more stylish and effortless.

Ahead, we’re taking a look at nine of our favorite spring runway looks and how to put them together.
