Transitioning to spring in some 2021 trends.
This post contains affiliate links.
New season, new wardrobe! Well, not really. These days it’s more about remixing old pieces– because hello, where are you really going?– and it’s always cool to stretch your closet. But winter is officially over and we’re celebrating with some spring trends in the March/April issue of KC Homes & Style.
Just because the calendar says spring, it doesn’t necessarily mean warm temps here in KC. We play a balancing game between winter and spring here until about mid-April. Sprinter, if you will. One day it’s 70 degrees, the next it’s 45. You want to work in spring trends, but you also need to stay warm.
Bright pastels are a 2021 trend– think Easter, but with a hint of neon. Rather than mint, go with tennis ball green. Rather than lavender, choose a more electric orchid. Speaking of tennis ball green, I built this outfit around this top. The color says spring, the turtleneck keeps you warm, and the lightweight knit means you can wear it well into summer.
I’m wearing another trend you’ve been seeing quite a bit around here recently: wide-leg jeans. They’re back today, this time with a houndstooth blazer over the top. Houndstooth was everywhere this winter, but for spring the print gets super small and very neutral. Choose a cotton blend over wool so you can still wear it when it warms up.
Remember what I said about that balance between winter and spring? I grabbed a pair of strappy sandals with a bright green strap. The sandal screams warmer weather and that heel helps lengthen the leg line (a must for us shorter girls trying out the wide-leg trend). A baby blue pedicure (that I gave myself!) helps celebrate spring, too.
Shop the look:
I’m definitely ready to remix this blazer with a pair of cutoffs come summer, and this turtleneck will be super cute layered under a slip dress. I need to dive back into my spring closet and see if I have some more bright pastels to work into the mix, too. I like the added punch they give a look– they’re just a bit edgier than your classic pastel palette. What other spring trends are you loving?

Thank you, Jess!
What a great jacket and a lovely green hue! This is spring personified and you look beautiful!
Thanks so much, babe friend! Hope you’re having a great week!
Haven’t pulled out my sandals yet! We have had some warm days but most mornings start in the 40s. I am bringing in spring with colors, sneaks and layers. But looking forward to more regular warmer days.

Thank you so much, Jill!
Spring has definitely arrived and I am not mad about it. With all the floral prints I am inundated lately, a houndstooth blazer and neon turtleneck is a beautiful change of look. Not too mention a classic one. Love how you paired your outfit with a pair of sandals. It absolutely is stunning.

I like that it wasn’t too FLORAL AND GIRLY, ya know? It turned out so fun!
The temps have been going up and down here too, but the next few days are going to be nice. I love this inbetween look. Great blazer and love the wide leg jeans!

Wide-legs are my jam lately! So glad you liked this look!
I’m always a fan of a little neon to add a little pop of color in the Spring! Neon yellow/green is my fave! You’ve nailed this outfit! Love the cute pop of color from your heels! I need to get on the wide pants wagon!!

I thought it was an interesting mix- the bright with the classic!
Looking fab in this chic jeans outfit.. especially with those sandals. 😍 Though probably not the best shoe wear for the more rainy spring days! 😛
But yeah, still not going anywhere really though I have good hopes for the summer! 😊

Ashley, this is a fabulous outfit for this transitional time of year! I love wide legged denim. I love blazers with jeans. And this shade of green is so fun. Those sandals are brilliant! We are having very temperamental weather in Northern NY as well. It is 64 today but will be in the 20’s with snow in about 36 hours! Thanks for linking with me.
