Ideas to reinvent your winter wear for spring

Spring is here. Finally!!!  At least the calendar says its April. But does it feel like spring? My answer is a big no. It is still cold where I stay. It may even  be winter like weather  in some parts of the world. So don't put away your winter wardrobe entirely yet. Just incorporate some transitional pieces into your current outfits to stay warm. Here are some ideas from my end to stay warm as we gradually head to some really hot days into summer.

1. Cardigan

A light cardigan instantly transforms your outfit. Not only it takes it a notch up but also is cozy and comfortable. You can pair a cardigan with a nice silk blouse with floral prints to incorporate some spring vibe into your outfit. On the other hand if you choose to wear a dress you can also layer the cardigan over a dress. Be sure to try polka dot print, a very popular trend now. 


2. Blazer

Blazer is such a fantastic way to add character to your outfit. Use blazers with prints and keep the basic pieces in neutrals. Just as cropped blazers were seen everywhere earlier now it's time to try on longline blazers. Longline blazers are appropriate for any body type, petite to tall. Longline blazers with a button front and with or without pocket detail will look great for Easter outfit. Pair one with a short skirt or skinny ankle length or may be even cropped tailored pants and up your glam quotient instantly.

3. Denim Jacket

Denim jacket has been a wardrobe staple for a long time. It not only keeps one warm but also adds the cool factor to an outfit. It sort of helps complete the look. One trend to try on is to wear a denim jacket with denim pants. Yes you heard it right...denim on denim. Just play with different shades of the same color or may be two different colors. Try jacket in one shade and the denim pants in lighter or darker  shade of the same hue. You can also pair a denim jacket with a leather skirt for a chic look. However you decide to keep it simple just try on a denim jacket when you wear a maxi dress next time.

So what are your ideas to stay warm this spring ?
