Springtime is such a great time of the year, because we finally get to put away our chunky sweaters, and heavy jackets, and switch back to dresses, skirts, and flip flops. It can also be an awkward time in terms of fashion. If you live in New England, you’ll understand that in one week you can have a bright and sunny day, a cloudy cold day, and a day full of nonstop rain. So what outfits can you wear, when you’re dealing with three or more different types of weather changes in one week, plus days that have multiple weather changes in row? Well, to help answer that question , I took some inspiration from today’s hot Spring 2016 Ready to Wear fashion from top designers for outfit ideas perfect for New England spring weather!

1. Chloe Spring 2016

This look is effortlessly chic, made in a lightweight fabric so it’s perfect for a sunny day, but you can easily throw on a blazer when it gets chilly, or even leather ankle boots to update your look for a more evening feel.

Shirt dresses are a great solution for what to wear in a place where the weather can’t make up it’s mind. It covers you up on top, in case it gets chilly, but your legs are left bare since it could still be a pretty sunny day. If you want you can cheat a little and wear a skirt with a shirt in the same color.

3. Dolce and Gabbana Spring 2016 RTW

Graphic Tee + flared culottes in a bright pattern + sandals + messy bun = perfect lazy day outfit.

4. Badgley Mishka Spring 2016 RTW

Rejoice! The maxi dress is still in! I love the versatility of them because you can pair them with cardigans, blazers, vests, gladiators, flats, totes, cross body bags, I could go on for days. You still covered and cute when you wear a maxi dress! If you’re not into prints, then go for a solid colored one instead!

6. Vionnet Spring 2016 RTW

A dress and pants put together? Gasp! Call the fashion police, alert the media! Well, not so fast. This look changes everything. It works because it has all neutral colors. There is a mixture of fabrics in the “dress” that keeps the outfit interesting and chic.

So if you dare attempt a dress and pants, makes sure that a) it is a sleevless dress (this is spring not winter), and b) the dress is takes center stage in terms of a being statement piece, and is in a sheer fabric.

Well, these are just a few outfit ideas to get you started on surviving the New England spring weather. Just remember, always have fun with your spring outfits!
