When warmer weather hits, it’s always tricky for me to switch mindsets and realize that I can now wear more lightweight clothes. That’s probably because I love fall fashion and the pieces I have purchased these last few years. This year, I want to start ahead and prepare my wardrobe for Spring! And if you are anything like me, you are already searching online for the best winter sales deals and pieces you need. I’ve got you covered; we’re doing it together right in time for Spring 2024!

Of course, you can decide not to invest in all of these pieces. You can reflect on your style, outfit ideas, and items you already own and then decide what to purchase.

1. TRENCH COAT
If I had to choose one piece worth my investment this Spring, this is the one! The Trench Coat is an excellent piece you can wear daily and with every outfit. You want to get it right! Trench coats can create chic outfits with a sprinkle of French vibe. Style it with basic T-shirts, denim blue jeans, and white sneakers. Even with a simple outfit, the trench coat does its job!
I am all about camel in outerwear, but every other color, from black to dark green, is possible. (It always depends on the neutral color palette you go for). I love this Camel Trench Coat from Sezane or this one from Everlane.
2. DENIM JACKET
I would invest in a durable jean jacket. It could be such a staple for your Springs! It works with neutral and bright color palettes, and it’s timeless! It’s one of those versatile pieces you want to own when you don’t know what to put on on an early morning Sunday stroll.
You pair it with a floral dress and ballet flats, wear denim jeans and a basic white tee, or layer it on top of a white button-down and a pair of linen-tailored trousers; the possibilities are endless! This denim jacket from Reformation is so beautiful or this one from & Other Stories.

3. BLACK BLAZER
A classic black blazer is a must for a spring capsule wardrobe! I know what you are thinking (Black?!). It’s much easier to pair bright colors with black than with other bright colors (lol). A classic black blazer can serve you all year, from winter to spring. In spring, you can use it in different ways. Layer with a black tank top and biker shorts for a chic date night (I love this outfit). You can also use it as a jacket for your office days, with a floral dress (or whatever color dress). It’s one of those versatile pieces that you cannot miss!
Last week, I jumped into this simple yet elegant black blazer from Eileen Fisher, and I think it could be such a great addition to a capsule wardrobe or this one from Reformation.
4. LEATHER JACKET
When warm weather hits, but there is still that winter fresh air, it’s the perfect time for a leather jacket. A leather jacket is one of those versatile pieces you can easily dress up or down depending on the occasion. For a relaxed and slightly 90s look, wear it with your favorite pair of jeans and a button-down shirt or basic tee. You will be comfortable but stylish at the same time. Dress it up for a date night with a black mini dress, tights (if it’s still cold), and black high heels. A classic black outfit is always a good idea!
A leather jacket is one of those timeless pieces you want to invest in cause it will never pass. I love this ’90s Vibe leather jacket from Reformation or this biker model from COS.

5. PLAIN WHITE T-SHIRT, STRIPED T-SHIRT & WHITE TANK TOP
These are none negotiable; you need a couple of each this spring season (and for the summer season, too!). A basic tee and tank top go a long way in a small collection of clothes! You can wear it under every jacket, a lightweight sweater, a pair of jeans and pants. Regarding colors, white, black, and navy/white stripes are the most versatile to create different outfits.
Uniqlo is an excellent option for essential pieces such as T-shirts and socks. They offer 100% cotton clothing items at no extra cost. If you want to spend something more for good quality, COS has 100% organic cotton T-shirts and stylish yet simple tank tops.
6. WHITE BUTTON-DOWN & STRIPED SHIRT ( & DENIM SHIRT)
Button-downs and shirts are the easiest way to layer on a tank top or white T-shirt. They create that 90s vibe we all love so much and are so effortless yet stylish! I love jeans, a button-down shirt outfit, with a white sneaker or a loafer to make it more elegant.
This one from Reformation is so beautiful, but if you want to go for a plain white, this one is also great. I also love a light blue one. It’s very corporate! If you are all about denim, check out this denim shirt.
7. ELEGANT WHITE BLOUSE & FLORAL FLOWY TOP
A bit of floral print never killed anybody (in spring, even more!). You won’t go wrong by adding a couple of flowy tops (white or with prints) and a pop of bright colors to welcome spring. You can easily pair it with blue or white jeans and every type of shoe! Layer a denim jacket or black blazer on top, and you are good to go!
I think that keeping it neutral on one side is a great idea. A white, flowy, short-sleeved top can always be helpful! On the other hand, adding flowers or poise to your neutral colors is a great idea. Check out this one from Reformation or this one.
8. LIGHTWEIGHT SWEATER
Even if it’s spring season and the weather is warmer, we still need some layering. Lightweight sweaters are essential items that can serve you for different outfits and occasions (even in colder months). Add a lightweight sweater on top of a T-shirt or Tank top for those early mornings with your matcha latte. Pair it with a midi skirt and sneakers for a day in the office. You can add a denim jacket or a blazer to make it even warmer.
I would choose neutral colors such as light beige, grey, or navy blue to make it versatile. Sezane is my go-to option for lightweight cardigans. They have a ton in every neutral color.

9. DRESS
In spring, you can truly let your creativity flow regarding dresses. Short, midi, long dresses, neutral, floral, or other prints – the possibilities are endless! No matter the occasion, a flowy dress always does its job in Spring, and you can pair it with any shoes. White sneakers, flats, loafers, or low-to-high heels. A flowy, short floral dress can be perfect for a Sunday at the beach or running errands, while a not-too-short or midi dress can be great for work.
Shirt dresses can also be great options. Check out this one from COS. I love this dress from & Other Stories paired with a white sneaker and a denim jacket or something monotone like this midi dress from Reformation, which is fantastic! You can use your dresses as the pop of color of your outfit while adding more neutral to staples such as outerwear.

10. BLUE JEANS
A pair of well-fitted blue denim jeans is a must for every season. The versatility of a pair of jeans is unparalleled, and a staple piece worth the investment. You can also add black and white jeans to this category. These three colors are the most versatile for your spring outfits.
You can find a pair of jeans in every store, but this pair of blue jeans from Everlane stole my heart! If you are more of a skinny jeans type, this pair of Agolde Jeans is excellent!
12. TAILORED PANTS
Every capsule wardrobe needs a pair of elegant pants, and spring is no exception. Of course, you want a breathable and lightweight composition that you can use for the warmer season! You can quickly wear it for a date night or a day in the office. Pair it with a white sneaker or loafer to walk comfortably.
I would go for neutral tones such as beige or dark grey. Navy is also an option. Check out the linen & cotton section on Reformation.com (they have great options for warmer weather) or this fabulous pair of pants from Everlane. Of course, you can opt for a shorter version. Reformation has unique models like this one.
13. MIDI SKIRT (or Short Skirt)
A midi skirt is for those days you want to dress up without feeling overdressed. A midi skirt is one of those versatile staples that you can repurpose differently depending on the season. In Spring, you can wear it with a white T-shirt or a cute little top (the same color as the skirt) to create a mono-tone, elegant outfit like this one. It’s so chic.
You can also dress it down with a pair of sneakers or dress it up with a heel. I would go for a black or a light beige one. My favorites are this easy-to-wear skirt from Reformation or this black one from & Other Stories.

14. WHITE SNEAKERS
A pair of white sneakers is a non-negotiable! And one of those pieces to invest in. As for blue jeans, you don’t need me to list the various occasions where a white sneaker is the way to go, but in general, you can dress down any piece with it; no more overdressing!
You can also wear it when you know you will walk a lot but still want to feel cute. A morning stroll? White sneakers! Running errands? White sneakers! Shopping day? White sneakers, you got the point! I invested in a pair of white Veja Campo in Spring 2023, and they are the best! I can walk in them all day without hurting my feet, and they are worth the investment.
15. ANKLE BOOTS
I am a boots girly, and my capsule wardrobe has at least a pair of ankle boots. You are free to disagree, but for me, ankle boots are non-negotiable in spring when it comes to wearing dresses without tights; I want to pair my dress with something a little higher than sneakers or flats.
You can also wear them with jeans if you wish. I love this style of ankle boots from Sezane or this style from Reformation.
16. LOAFERS or BALLET FLATS
Loafers or ballet flats are a classic! They are cute but easy to wear and are great options if you want to wear something comfortable but more elevated than sneakers. When it comes to color, it depends on the style you are going for, if you wish to keep it 100% neutral or maybe go bolder with a pop of color like bright red or bold prints.
I like to pair loafers or flats with jeans and trousers. I found these beautiful yet particular ballet flats from Sezane that you can pair with jeans or an elegant pair of pants. If we want a more versatile style, this pair of loafers from & Other Stories is one of the most versatile. You can also opt for a dark brown, camel, or beige pair of loafers.
17. HEELS
Ok, which capsule wardrobe does not have at least one pair of heels? You can 100% decide to have a low to medium heel; we don’t need to choose what we cannot walk in. But owning at least one ensures we have something to wear for elegant date nights, work events, or whatever grand event you will join this spring.
Of course, black is THE option if you want something versatile to use all year. A cream color can also be great for spring. I love this low-heeled pair from Vivaia. I got this pair of heeled sandals from Alohas in 2023, and I think I will keep purchasing from them cause they are truly high-quality.
A small Recap
We have covered 21 spring capsule wardrobe essentials, from timeless staples such as a trench coat and blue jeans to great additions you can include depending on your style, such as a floral dress or bright-colored shoes.
If I had to choose where to invest, I would do it in a trench coat, blazer, blue jeans, a midi dress, white sneakers, and ankle boots. These are the staples I use the most based on my daily routine and life.
This said you don’t need to invest in every single piece. It would be best to purchase what you will wear the most based on your routine and work it out from there. Good luck!
