Seventy degrees in February? Looks like Spring is in the air already! It’s time to ditch your Canada Goose and bring out the waterproof coat. Check out these five tips to make your transition into Spring a little more fashionable:

 

1. Stylish Windbreakers

Nothing will help you brave March’s gusts or help keep your cute outfit dry from April’s showers better than a lightweight yet sturdy anorak or rain jacket. From functional to vintage, there’s a windbreaker out there for everyone.

2. Duster Jackets

Warmer weather calls for more outerwear, not less. From the deserts of the Old West to 5th Avenue, long dusters are a trendy way to turn any casual outfit into a killer fit for Spring.

3. Color Pop

The days are getting longer, the sun is finally out – get ready to put away all those neutral tones and trade them in for some pastels and neons. From bright accents to colorful ensembles, livening up your color palette will definitely get you into the Spring mood.

5. Show-Off Those Shoulders

Instead of reaching for typical sweaters or light long-sleeves, add some flair with open- or cold-shoulder tops.

It’s a subtle and chic way to show off some skin when the mercury levels get higher.
