Need outfits that transition from professional to personal life? Read on to find out how we take each one of these kits and change it from work-life to date night attire.

Prepping for Everyday Wear: How to Transition Spring Looks from Day to Night

First things first - spring is all about the layers, but not on winter’s level of layers. Think lighter knits or cardigans, swapping out your puffy coat for something more suitable for a slight breeze.

With that in mind, some of our favourite day-to-day outfits for the sunnier season include:

1. Dress, tights, and ankle boots combo: If it’s not quite warm enough to let the sun kiss your bare skin, embroidered tights can give a fun look to a go-to shift while ankle boots make it warm-weather friendly.
2. The t-shirt, jeans, and boyfriend blazer kit: Can’t wear denim to the office? Never fear - the same combo works great with a knee-length skirt. Just remember to tuck in the shirt!
3. Maxi dress and jacket combo: A great go-to if you need to keep shoulders covered at work, this style lets you break out your floor-length favourites when it’s not quite summer.
4. Brogues, denim, t-shirt, and a thigh-length coat: Want to say luxe-casual? If you’re bumping around on the weekend, jeans and flats are a great way to stay styled on the go, while the coat brings it up just a notch.
5. Wide-legged pants and blouse combo: Office-friendly and ready to transition after hours, see if you can find wide-legged trousers in linen or denim. Both make a great investment-worthy staple.
6. Boyfriend-cardigan and sundress combo: A boyfriend-cardigan should reach mid-thigh length and is a great option for keeping cold arms and bottoms warm. Layered over an otherwise casual dress, you’ll be both warm and workplace-friendly.
7. Leather skirt and white shirt look: Skirts say fun while the classic with shirt says business. Best of all, this combo is perfect year-round and can be paired with stockings during cooler periods.

With any of the above options, swapping out ankle boots for heels, slicking on a strong lipstick, and ditching the denim for a great skirt can take these looks from day-to-night. Still want to wear jeans? A strappy pair of heels softens the denim look and can have you ready for a night on the town.
