Being that spring is right around the corner and we are still currently in winter, I thought I would share my winter to spring wardrobe essentials. If you live in the south like me then you know that winter and spring are always wanky. Sometimes it’s really cold and other times it’s super hot. I’m not sure how the transition to spring will be this year, but I do know that me and my closet will be ready for whatever lol.

All the pieces I mention below are great transitional pieces and are extremely versatile. These are the items you want in your wardrobe for this winter to spring transition.

1. THIGH HIGH BOOTS

Thigh-high boots are great transitional pieces because you can wear them with jeans or a cute flowy dress. You can also wear them with mom shorts in the spring if you really want to pop out. Furthermore, I love that these boots are long enough to keep you warm but still have an edgy feel to them. The versatility is endless which is why I think it is essential to have in your wardrobe.

2. FEDORA HAT

One thing about me is I’m ALWAYS going to have a wide brim hat on lol. I love wearing fedoras because they easily spice up any boring outfit. They are also great for those bad hair days or for when you are waiting for your hair to dry in twists :). If you are looking for an affordable fedora hat check out Forever 21.

3. BLACK JEANS

Black jeans are a great winter to spring essential because you can wear them with anything, and they make you look skinny. I honestly think this is something you should have in your wardrobe all year round, so I recommend buying good-quality jeans that can stand the test of time. I personally like getting my jeans from Topshop at ASOS because their jeans cater to any body type. You can personalize your hip and length measurement which is great for women who have a different waist to hip ratio. I have a YOUTUBE video about my favorite jeans you can check out for more information.

4. WIDE LEG JEANS/TROUSERS

Wide-leg trousers and jeans are another great transitional piece to have in your wardrobe. Over the years I’ve realized that wide-leg pants look really good on me and fit my body type well. I think what makes these types of pants great is the effortlessness they give. Once you throw on some wide-leg pants you automatically look chic and well put together.

5. TRANSITIONAL COAT/CARDIGAN

Transitional coats are coats that are not too heavy but also not too light. Trench coats, long cardigans, leather jackets, and jeans jackets are great transitional pieces. I really like Hanifa’s Miya Knit Cardigan Dress. I purchased 2 of these cardigans during their Black Friday sale, and I’m thinking about getting the pink one they just released. I love their pieces because I can wear them in the winter, in the spring, and well into the summer as a cover-up piece or night-out piece.

6. SUNGLASSES

Sunglasses are another great wardrobe staple. They are also great pieces to finish off any outfit. Definitely make sure you stack up on your essential sun-wear before spring and definitely before summer.

7. WHITE EVERYTHING

Another item I think will be a great transition is white. I personally wear white all year round, but I think this color stands out more in the winter and spring. I recommend having at least 1 white top, 1 pair of white jeans/trousers, and 1 pair of white shoes. If you really want to stand out and be different though, get a white pair of boots. I bought some 2 years ago from Boohoo and when I say I feel powerful and confident when I am wearing them…I FEEL POWERFUL AND CONFIDENT WHEN I WEAR THEM.

Well, these are my winter to spring wardrobe-essentials. Let me know what items you plan to transition into the spring. I hope you have a blessed day!
