There’s that window of time in between winter and spring when you just can’t figure the weather out. One minute it’s starting to get warm and sunny outside and the next, the weather takes a step back and starts getting chilly.
Finding an outfit that works in fending off weather changes while looking spring-appropriate can be a real challenge. That said, we came up with this list on how to make your outfits look great for the new season while making sure you are ready for some slight drops in temperature.
It features one staple: your trusty boyfriend jeans.
1. Wear a shirt with boyfriend jeans and tie the hem to one side
This versatile look is great for unpredictable days. You can remove the knot of your shirt and tuck the hem in your boyfriend jeans if it gets cold out.
Like Kira from Ani for Style (blog no longer available online), finish off the look with a pastel-colored oversized blazer to inject a spring vibe to your outfit.
