Spring in Metro Detroit can be unpredictable—one day it’s chilly, and the next it’s warm and sunny. Dressing for this weather means layering strategically while still showcasing the light, vibrant styles that make spring fashion so exciting. Here are the must-have pieces to keep you looking chic and confident, no matter what Mother Nature throws your way.

1. Transitional Outerwear

Invest in a lightweight trench coat or an oversized denim jacket. These are perfect for those crisp mornings and cooler evenings. Opt for classic neutrals like beige or camel, or make a statement with a bold color like cobalt or sage.

2. Flowy Midi Dresses

A staple for spring, midi dresses are versatile and effortless. Pair them with ankle boots or sneakers during cooler days, and swap for strappy sandals when it warms up. Look for floral prints, soft pastels, and even subtle geometric patterns for a modern twist.

3. Tailored Blazers

Blazers aren’t just for the office anymore. Choose a well-fitted blazer in a pop of color—think fuchsia, lemon yellow, or lavender. Layer it over a graphic tee or a crisp button-down for a polished yet trendy look.

4. Wide-Leg Pants

Swap your skinnies for wide-leg trousers in light fabrics like linen or cotton. These give you structure while allowing for breathability and movement. Pair with fitted tops or cropped knits to balance the silhouette.

5. Chic Knitwear

Early spring can still be brisk, so lightweight knits are a must. Opt for fitted cardigans, ribbed tanks, or knit skirts that can be layered easily. Soft, muted tones like dusty pink, sage green, and oatmeal are always in style.
