Now that the weather is finally getting warmer, and flowers are starting to bloom again, it’s time to finally let go of sweaters and winter boots, and move on to flowy dresses and sunglasses. Sometimes, wearing the same dress or graphic T-shirt or denim shorts can get really repetitive and boring. But, don’t worry, because I am here to help you amp up your spring style!
Here are six ways you can add a little oomph to a basic spring look:
1. Oversized Shirts
Oversized T-shirts are pretty easy to simply throw on with a pair of denim shorts, but it can be a little tricky to style an oversized shirt. The key is to make sure the shirt drapes well on your body, but is also a little crisp and structured.
The way you tuck the shirt into your bottoms can give it a completely different look and feel. You can do a French tuck in the front, or do a half tuck for a laidback look. You can even simply knot one side of the shirt to add interest.
If you want to wear the shirt as a dress, then all you have to do is slap on a statement belt over it, along with some thigh high boots and voilà! You’ve got yourself a super trendy and “street style” look.
Pairing a white oversized shirt with a light washed denim skirt is the quintessential spring outfit and is a way cooler take on the classic T-shirt and denim skirt combo. Pair this look with some killer heels, dainty gold jewelry and a red lip for a more “boss babe” look or some classic white sneakers and tinted sunglasses for a fun and casual vibe.
2. Co-ord Sets
Co-ord sets are all the rage this spring season, and you should also jump on board with this trend because it’s actually a pretty genius one. You can achieve three distinct looks with just one co-ord set by only wearing the top with your choice of bottoms, or the bottoms with another top, or both pieces together. Plus, a matching set is an easy thing to just throw on when you can’t decide what to wear because it is so effortless and makes you look stylish and well put together.
This orange set is bright, colorful, and a fun one to wear to the beach. The ruffled detailing adds a flirty feel to it and pairing it with a hat and a straw bag can make for a super cute look.
This baby blue set is super comfortable and flattering and can be dressed up or down. Plus, the vertical white stripes help elongate your body and make you appear taller!
3. DIY Jeans
Unarguably, jeans are a classic piece that will never go out of style. This spring season, you can stand out by DIY’ing an old pair of jeans that you might be bored of. There are so many different ways to distress, paint, embellish or embroider a pair of jeans and here are some examples of what you could do.

3. Denim Jackets
Denim jackets are a wardrobe staple, no matter your style. They are such a versatile piece and can enhance any simple outfit. Even though the basic denim jacket is a great piece, putting on an off-beat jacket can really make a statement.
This two tone jacket is a pretty cool piece that incorporates some color blocking. And the best part is that you could pair it with a pair of dark or light wash jeans for a denim on denim look.
This oversized black denim jacket with white contrast stitching is definitely a unique piece. Additionally, the silver metal ring detailing adds an edgy vibe to the overall look.
This bold red denim jacket is perfect if you want to make a statement. Pair it with a white graphic tee and denim shorts for an easygoing look, or with a white crop top, black jeans, and a bold lip for a night out.
4. Maxi Skirts
No doubt, maxi skirts are super comfy and also stylish. They can be worn casual or dressed up which make them a really versatile piece. They’re perfect for the beach, brunch, or going shopping.
Pair a white crop top with a flowy maxi skirt like this mustard yellow one with some heeled boots for a colorful and chic look.

5. Statement Bags
Accessories can completely elevate an outfit, which is why it’s important to pay attention to the styling of an outfit. The easiest way to transform a basic look is by adding a statement bag.
This teal glitter cylindrical bag is both cute and sassy, and definitely makes quite the statement! Wear it with a pink romper and black strappy sandals or with a basic tee and distressed denim shorts.

6. Quirky Sunglasses
Once the sun comes out, so do the sunglasses. Honestly speaking, wearing the same pair of sunglasses with every outfit can be kind of boring which is why wearing a quirky pair can add a unique flair.
Recently, the “tiny sunglasses” trend has rolled around, with models and influencers alike jumping on this train. And even though their size kind of defeats the entire purpose of sunglasses, they can totally be worn as an accessory. This pair of cat eye tortoise shell sunglasses can be paired with literally any look!
This oversized chunky pair may be hard to pull off, but very stylish and chic. Besides, it’s perfect for those no makeup days when you want to hide those eye bags!

I hope you enjoy trying a few of them out, and perhaps even step out of your comfort zone as you continue to experiment with new trends and develop your own individual style!
