Blend in with the landscape in a nature-inspired tank top, like this butterfly piece on Aimee Lou Wood. The look is equal parts playful and sweet, without getting too kitschy. Slip into a pair of ‘70s-inspired boots for a delightfully on-trend spin on the quintessential jeans outfit.

Your impromptu afternoon picnic is laid-back, so your outfit should also emanate elevated nonchalance. Light wash jeans and a lightweight sweater are a go-to combo, but add a twist with a stunning, bold necklace and sheer knit layers. For practicality’s sake, keep your hair protected from the wind with a chic satin scarf.

You know the drill: Select a pop of blue-toned red to lighten up your spring neutrals. Here, Abisola Omole dons a tank and trousers in coordinating cream hues, then tops off the look with a cherry red cardigan. Match your sweater to your shoes for a perfectly “sandwiched” outfit formula.

Playful Pattern

Go the unexpected route with a bold patterned skirt and a soft sports cami—allow Toni Bravo to be your guide. Consider classic gingham or a less expected print, like the pink and red combo below. This effortless combination feels fashion-forward and, luckily, even more comfortable than our go-to denim shorts.

A tiny black skort is one of the most versatile pieces in our wardrobes, and it’s even better when paired with an oversized button-down (like this structured piece from Re Ona). Sling a worn-in black handbag over your shoulder to affirm your it-girl status.
