No matter how many winters have turned to spring, age doesn’t matter. The weather isn’t transitioning the way we’ve come to expect, so coping with the variable temperature changes can be challenging. I hope that the following tips and outfit ideas will help you to really enjoy the transition to warm weather!
When Spring arrives, suddenly thick tweeds, bulky wool turtlenecks and dark-on-dark patterns look too wintry. Time to put those away until next year. Focus instead on light layers and a change in your color combinations. By layering, you can still be warm without thick materials.
Let’s take a look at how we can really enjoy the transition to warm weather with layers, colors, a spring outfit formula and outfit ideas!

A sleeveless blazer will help you keep your cool during spring and summer business events. But it can also be layered during cold weather, and it doesn’t have to be restricted to business. It is really quite versatile. There are so many ways to wear it that age doesn’t matter.
Treat this piece as you would your favorite jacket with sleeves. Look for one in a neutral hue, like khaki or black, that hits mid-hip. It should be tailored at the shoulders but cut away from the body. Then layer a fitted top underneath — a simple tank or blouse with a high neck works best. Finish with slim trousers to play up the menswear vibe, or opt for a sleek pencil skirt for a feminine contrast.
The sleeveless blazer is chic, refined and elongated. You can mix it with sweatshirts, sweaters, shirts, blouses, turtlenecks, etc.
The following outfit combinations are based on a black sleeveless blazer. As much as possible, I will refrain from calling it black so that it can be a formula you can easily translate. But if yours is not black, simply substitute the colors of your choice.
