Winter to Spring Outfits

Luxe Layering: Winter to Spring transitional outfits with cashmere and silks.

With spring around the corner and birds occasionally chirping, it’s time for transitional outfits that lift the mood and lean in to layering as we patiently wait for March to rain the winter away. New York City this time of year is moody but fair, and natural fabrics like cashmere and silk can help your wardrobe seamlessly transition from winter to spring. Here's how to incorporate these timeless materials into your winter to spring outfits, along with some trends to inspire that seasonal wardrobe refresh:

Cozy Cashmere

There’s nothing quite like the softness and warmth of cashmere against the skin (speaking as someone who hates sratchy knits). As the temperatures rise and fluctuate, opt for lightweight cashmere layers like this polo shirt or a casual knit hoodie for a warm walk to the subway without overheating on the train. Layer with cotton basics or a silk to transition from day to night.

Monochrome Silks

Elevate your winter to spring outfits with monochrome silks in simple silhouettes for a casual feminine touch without florals (because we’re saving those for cherry blossom season). Pair with cashmere in the same color family for an elegant ensemble. Accessorize with delicate gold jewelry and kitten heels for a night out.

Playing with Layers

Silk under cashmere, tights under minis. It’s that time of year where you can get away with pretty much anything, including your shortest leather skirt under your longest classic coat. Pair a skirt with sheer tights, loafers or knee-high boots and an oversized knit for a chance to get more wear out of your warm-weather bottoms for winter to spring. Layer up with a longline coat, beanie optional and accessorize with a cream bag for a lighter look.

Have fun experimenting with combining old and new pieces as you transition your outfits from winter to spring. Whether you're layering up for wet, chilly mornings or basking in the heat of the commuter train, the changing seasons are a great time to invest in quality materials and layering basics, and break some fashion rules to get creative and extend the wear on some of your favorite pieces.
