It’s finally come time to pack away the beanies, thermals and those thick knits that were taking up precious space in your wardrobe and spruce up your style for arguably the best season, spring! Notoriously filled with fun, floaty and floral designs, we can assure you that dressing for springtime isn’t as daunting as you may think – and thankfully it doesn’t require a spontaneous clean-out or shopping spree!
Without further ado, welcome to the BB spring outfit guide where we’ll take you through how to dress for any occasion this season, highlight the key features of a seasonally appropriate ensemble and tell you exactly how to bloom out of the winter blues and into spring with ease.
But first, let’s cover the basics!
What should I wear in spring?
We often like to express ourselves through our clothing choices, and as the flowers start to blossom and the sun comes out to play, spring is no excuse to cramp your style. Whether you live in dresses, find joy in wearing bold accessories or have a wardrobe full of staple clothing, you can refine and incorporate quality seasonal pieces into your everyday wardrobe without having to sacrifice your most loved garments. However, we have a few pointers to keep you on track, feeling fabulous and fresh for the start of a new season.
Our golden rule: We recommend you take note of the fabric composition on your garments and select lightweight cotton and linen staples that will keep you feeling cool and covered as the weather begins to warm up. So steer clear of those thick wool garments you spent all winter rugged up in (they’ll be back before you know it!).
Spring Outfit Ideas
Casual Spring Outfits
Looking for seasonal comfort whilst running errands, casual lunching with friends or that go-to everyday outfit combo you don’t have to second-guess? Pair your favourite blouse with a skirt and some white sneakers or slides.
Spring Wedding Outfits
If you’ve received an invitation (or two!) to a wedding this season, you’re not alone! Trust us when we say you can’t go wrong with a beautiful silk garment. Available in a wide range of figure-flattering silhouettes, colours and prints, get ready to hear the wedding bells chime whilst dressed in a crowd-pleasing fabric. Forget rummaging through your wardrobe for a slip dress, our stunning silk range here at BB features super-stretchy linings for added coverage and comfort.
Dressy Spring Outfits
Perfect for date night dinners, birthday celebrations and even the office, populate your wardrobe with high-quality, versatile garments that you can enjoy not only in spring. With a hint of print and pop of colour, pair with a staple nude heel, clutch and statement blazer for a versatile and sophisticated season-round ensemble.

How to transition from winter to spring?
Still feel like you’re having a wardrobe malfunction every morning? Here are a few key pieces that you can add to your everyday wardrobe to make the transition seamless.
1. Add a lightweight scarf
Swap out your chunky knit scarf for a lightweight, silky-to-touch accessory. If you’re anything like us and have a collection of beautiful scarves that don’t get enough stage time, drape one over your neck, style as a headscarf or tie to your handbag for season-round versatility.
2. Be bold with colour
If you’re a lover of bright, bold colours, it’s your time to shine. A staple solid colour shirt is super versatile and can be styled a variety of ways. Pair with a statement earring and clutch for a chic monochrome moment or tie your favourite printed tee in with your new twilly scarf. If you prefer a more subtle approach to colour, choose an accessory (or two) that will brighten up your existing wardrobe. Earrings and clutches are a great way to do this.
3. Bust out the florals
Slide into a gorgeous floral printed garment for effortless seasonal style. Characterised by blossoming florals and beautiful colours, embrace the season by emphasising these feminine prints in your outfits.
4. Denim jackets
It’s safe to say you’ve probably got one of these floating around your wardrobe. Designed to accompany you through the season and shield you from the slightest breeze spring unexpectedly blows your way. Pop over your shoulders, tie around your waist or have on-the-ready for your picnic in the park. With an incredible array of colours available you can achieve the denim-on-denim look without looking like you’re rocking up to an 80’s themed birthday party.
