The key to subtle transition wear is to refrain from prints or colors that scream "Easter pastel" or "January oxblood." A good base of neutrals like grays, beiges, and even ivories can allow freedom in dress. Lately, my staple has been olive green- the great thing about green is that it can be a Fall, cozy color or a cheery, Spring color. Invest in pieces that you know may be worn different ways depending on the temperature. A great go-to option is a classic sweater or wrap dress- when snowy, pair with tights and a long coat. When warmer, pair with riding boots and a scarf. The key in your neutrals is versatility. A lightweight jacket is also a must-have staple. Depending on the forecast, layer with the jacket or let it stand alone and you are comfortable either way! I love military green jackets because I think they work well whether Spring, Winter, or Fall.
Although previously condemned, monochromatic looks can work!!! Try wearing a base of one shade of a color and then accessorizing with different shades- scarves, boots, hat, bag, etc. When done tastefully, monochromatic outfits look chic and effortless.
And if by chance one day the weather is swaying you either way: add a pop of color for a classic yet fun look. Snow day in March? Add deep reds and blues to your look. Ready for Spring Break? I love emerald and amethyst for a refreshing non-pastel look as the weather gets warmer. A classic cocktail ring can go a long way and will never go out of style.
Stay Chic!
