5 Spring Outfits to Wear on Repeat

From ELLE

When your regular winter rotation of sweaters, boots, and coats start to feel out of sync with the warmer weather, it's time for a pre-spring recharge. For every occasion, keep the style math simple: seasonless basic plus statement piece plus easy shoes. Think of these five outfit formulas as your fashion flashcards.

Dress + Moto Jacket + Booties = Date Night

Top a playful dress with a blazer or leather jacket to add a bit of coverage for still-brisk spring Friday nights. Ankle boots or ballet pumps with a chunky heel make everything feel after-hours ready.

Pullover + Jeans + Jacket + Flats = Casual Saturday

For the most laid-back of days, stick to a pullover and straight-leg cropped jeans. Whether a Breton stripe or cashmere sweater, choose an easy throw-on-and-go without thinking; top it off with a textured jacket for a bold pop. Stick to a pair of timeless ballet flats for a go-with-anything look.

Cami + Bright Skirt + Heels = Cocktails

Instead of re-wearing the same dress on multiple Saturday nights, play with separates that are easily interchangeable. Wear a bright skirt with a delicate camisole and finish it off with neutral heels that will work with any combo.

Structured Top + Jeans + Carryall + Flats = Friends' Brunch

Just because you're hanging with those who may have seen you at your worst doesn't mean you should show up wearing sweats. Pair an interesting top with your favorite denim, add understated flats, and finish it off with a chic carryall.

Blazer + Trousers + Block Heels = Typical Monday

Amp up a work outfit with detailed classics, like a tuxedo jacket and trousers with piping. Mix in a top with dramatic details and opt for a bag that's shaped differently than a traditional tote, but still carries everything you need.
