Spring 2023's fashion trendshave been beckoning us since last September when the fashion week presentationswere flooded with bold colours, dreamy dresses and low-key but luxurious separates. Though it may still be frosty outside, we can't help but get excited about spring on the horizon and start planning our outfits for the upcoming season.
We're determined to find a way to start incorporatingspring-readylooks into our wardrobes as early as possible—even if that means just adding a few bright colours to our outfits here and there. This year, everything is on the table from skirts to dresses, tailoring to jeans. We're particularly infatuated with easy-to-wear dresses (particularly the knitted variety) and maxi anything has also risen to the top of our shopping lists.
So if you're looking for some new styling ideas to freshen up your looks for 2023, keep scrolling for our guide for what to wear this spring, plus a shopping list to achieve each look. Since most of these outfits revolve around between one and three pieces, you'll also be able to re-create several of these spring outfitseasily.
1. STRIPED SHIRT + JEANS

Style Notes:Where better to start than with staples we stand by all year round? Through spring, many of our outfits will inevitably revolve around a great pair of jeans, so this striped-shirt-and-jeans pairing is not only easy, but seriously chic. Add trainers for a relaxed feel, or opt for mules for a polished dinner look.
