It’s time to start perfecting your spring outfits—because let’s be honest, transitional dressing is no easy feat. With temperatures swinging wildly and layers needing to do the absolute most, inspiration is essential. Luckily, the spring collections have started to trickle in (with even more to come as New York Fashion Week kicks off this Wednesday), and the looks seen both on and off the runway are proving especially ripe for the picking.
Vogue’s Early-Spring Outfit Staples:
Warm weather-friendly textures took center stage in Toteme’s spring show—a personal highlight of the season—with soft knits, lightweight leathers, and breezy poplins paired alongside sleeveless silhouettes and fresh takes on the brand’s signature khaki trench. The result? An instant case for building out a chic pre-spring capsule wardrobe, stat.
Because the window to wear these transitional staples is so fleeting, it pays to take advantage of the forecast when you can. Our edit of spring outfit ideas expertly bridge that tricky in-between moment—when temperatures hover around a brisk 40 degrees before suddenly spiking or dropping. Picture Liberowe’s ladylike jacket paired with Tolu Coker’s denim midi, Zara’s slouchy leather bomber layered over Jil Sander’s wear-with-everything checkered dress, or Mango’s richly textured top styled with sleek Cos trousers and Gucci’s red-hot thong sandals.
There are also plenty of chic ways to wear spring’s most buzzed-about hue: cobalt blue. Case in point? La Ligne’s straight-leg jeans styled with a butter-yellow long-sleeve from Lisa Yang and finished with Khaite’s zebra-toe ankle boots, or Fendi’s roomy tote with a pair of suede Miu Miu trainers.
Ahead, discover eight foolproof early spring outfit ideas to guide your best-dressed season yet.
All-Over Texture
Texture truly comes into its own during the warmer months, and Mango’s asymmetrical top is a standout statement piece. For right now, style it with Cos’s relaxed black trousers and Esse Studio’s collarless, croc-embellished jacket. Then, add a jolt of color with Gucci’s fiery red thong sandals. Finish the look with Toteme’s boxy tote—fresh off the brand’s SS26 runway—and Lemaire’s cool cord necklace for a refined, modern edge.
