Your Spring Style FAQs

What shoes are best for spring outfits?

Time to put all the boots away. We’re big fans of ballet flats and loafers for spring.

How do I dress for unpredictable spring weather?

Layers are your friend in the spring when we have three seasons in one day. Start with a tee shirt and add a sweater or sweatshirt. Our recent midi skirt post has lots of tips for layering for spring, too.

How can I look modern in spring without feeling too trendy?

Choose one current element and pair it with classics you already love. For example, try a wide-leg jean with a simple tee, a midi skirt with sneakers, or a modern sneaker with a timeless blazer. Staying current after 50 isn’t about chasing trends, it’s about subtle updates that still feel like you.
