24 Chic Early Spring Outfit Ideas to Refresh Your Wardrobe
1. Lightweight Wool Jacket
Do you have a lightweight wool jacket with a round neckline? If you get one in an oatmeal color, it’s super easy to mix and match with different bottoms.
Even though it’s wool, it’s thin and light-colored, making it perfect for that tricky in-between season. Plus, the oversized fit is a nice bonus!
For the inner layer, just wear whatever feels comfy.
If the neckline feels a bit too open, throw on a scarf as a little accent—it’ll instantly make your outfit look more polished!
2. Striped Long Coat
Another great piece for early spring is a lightweight striped long coat.
It’s one of those coats that don’t really work in winter, but when there’s still a bit of chill in the air, it looks super stylish and just right for the season.
To make the outfit feel a little more casual, throw a cardigan over your shoulders in a matching color—it adds a nice touch without trying too hard!
3. Black Half-Coat
Black lovers can’t let go of black, no matter the season, right?
If you have a not-too-thick black half-coat and a matching scarf, you’re set.
It’s super versatile—you can mix and match it with different tops and bottoms to create all kinds of vibes!
4. Cropped Suede Jacket
Early spring is still the perfect time to wear ankle boots, right?
Pair them with a cropped suede jacket and light-wash jeans, and you’ll get that feeling of shedding heavy winter layers and stepping into spring.
This combo actually works great in the fall too!
5. Mélange Blue Jacket
If you’re a fan of pastel colors or floral patterns, here’s an idea you’ll love!
Try a mélange blue jacket paired with a pastel blue and multi-colored floral sweater, a sky-blue mini bag, ivory pants, and burgundy belt and ankle boots.
It’s a perfect early spring look that’s stylish and fresh!
6. Denim Jacket
When you think of spring fashion, a denim jacket definitely comes to mind, right?
A light-colored, loose-fitting denim jacket paired with a big shopper bag gives off that cool early spring vibe.
It looks great with skirts and also pairs perfectly with light-colored straight-leg jeans!
7. Dark Brown Suede Coat
I absolutely love the vibe of this suede coat! It’s a dark brown long suede coat, and the material itself is such a statement piece.
Depending on the color, you can create all kinds of different moods.
I’ve also added a lighter-colored suede coat to the list below, but pairing this chic dark brown coat with black flats definitely gives off a casual feel.
Brown isn’t just a color for fall, right?
8. Soft Khaki Trench Coat
Light-colored jeans and bag, a soft khaki trench coat, and a dark blue ribbon hairpin all come together so nicely.
Pairing them with black flats with a punching design gives off a fresh spring trench coat look!
9. Long Jacket
A long jacket is definitely a must-have for the transitional season, right?
In early spring, pairing a long jacket with a white t-shirt, jeans, sneakers, and a square tote bag looks super stylish.
It’s one of those jackets you can’t wear in winter or summer, but it’s just perfect for those early spring days!
10. Corduroy Jacket
Corduroy jackets are another great pick for early spring! You can rock a full denim look with it, or just throw it on over anything for a stylish touch.
The color of the corduroy jacket can create all sorts of vibes, so I highly recommend getting one!
11. Striped Brown Jacket
If you have a striped brown jacket like this, it’s super versatile and can give you both formal and casual looks.
I really love this sleek brown striped jacket too. Pairing it with a darker brown knit as an inner layer and light jeans creates such a polished vibe.
And like I mentioned earlier, the mélange blue bag really works well with fall outfits, don’t you think?
12. Bright Blue Knit
A bright blue knit and ivory corduroy pants can make a great early spring outfit.
This kind of knit is thick and loose-fitting, so you’d typically wear it with a puffer or oversized coat.
But if you wear a t-shirt underneath and layer this big-sized, light-colored knit over it, you can stay warm while still giving off a spring feel!
13. Knit Long Coat
Another great early spring outfit is a knit long coat.
Just throwing on a light-colored long knit coat that’s perfect for spring completes the look without much effort.
A simple t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers are all you need. For a more casual vibe, you can add a cardigan over your shoulders!
14. Fleece Jacket
Do you have a fleece jacket? If you choose a thinner fleece jacket design that’s more suitable for going out, it’s super easy to throw on over different outfits.
It’ll go well not only with jeans but also with slacks.
In winter, you can layer it under a coat, and in early spring, you can just wear it on its own!
15. Angora Wool Knit
A stylish angora wool knit pairs perfectly with very light jeans.
It’s better to go for baggy-fit jeans instead of slim-fit for this look.
Pair the knit with a light gray color and match it with brown accessories like a bag and shoes to create a sophisticated early spring outfit.
16. Handmade Coat
Handmade coats can be way too cold for winter, but they’re perfect to wear when spring is just starting.
However, since the sun can get hot quickly, you’ll want to wear it soon.
You’ll probably only get about a month of wear out of it, so if you have a handmade coat tucked away in your closet, take it out, pair it with the right colors, and try it on with slacks or jeans!
17. Long Suede Jacket
A long suede jacket is a fantastic spring outfit piece. Just throwing it over a white t-shirt and jeans creates a stylish vibe.
Add a classic bag, pair it with sunglasses, and bold earrings to complete the look!
18. Oversized Jacket
An oversized jacket is also a must-have spring fashion item.
Pairing it with a romantic long lace dress gives it such a chic vibe. It might be a bit chilly, but if you wear a warm inner layer under the dress, no one will know.
Add ankle boots, and you’ll have that perfect mix of casual yet dressed-up style!
19. Red Knit with Pants
Do you like red? During winter, black or gray is often seen around.
So as soon as spring starts, pairing a red knit with pants and black shoes and a bag will create a stunning early spring outfit!
20. Lighter-colored Suede Coat
Here’s a lighter-colored suede long coat I mentioned earlier.
Since I love suede, I brought this color in as well. It gives off a different, more sophisticated vibe compared to the previous one.
Pairing it with dark suede loafers, gray jeans, and a caramel-colored bag will easily complete today’s outfit!
21. Tweed Jacket
If you’re a fashionista, you should definitely have a tweed jacket in your wardrobe.
There are various colors like ivory, black, beige, and pink, and they’re easy to match with different kinds of bottoms.
Whether it has pockets on both sides or is pocketless, the design works well.
Tweed jackets pair perfectly with formal slacks, skirts, or casual pants, making them highly versatile. If you don’t have a tweed jacket yet, I highly recommend getting one!
22. Long Trench Coat
It would be a shame to skip over styling a long trench coat that reaches the ankle when talking about early spring fashion, right?
Some trench coats are made with thicker materials.
Typically, trench coats come in various lengths and colors, so you probably have more than one in your wardrobe.
This particular one, with its long length and thick fabric in a khaki-beige blend, is a perfect item to match as soon as spring begins!
23. Black Jacket
For all the black enthusiasts out there, I’ve got another black jacket item ready!
Black lovers will be excited to match a loose-fitting black jacket as soon as spring hits, right? Honestly, I’m a black lover too, so this list has a bit of personal preference involved.
You can pair it with light-colored jeans, or add a fun twist with a leopard print skirt to make a statement.
It’s a versatile piece that brings out the chic side of spring fashion!
24. Leather Jacket
You can’t skip a leather jacket or leather bomber jacket, right?
Leather jackets are incredibly versatile, so they’re a must-have item in your wardrobe. If you’ve been hesitating to buy one every year, now’s the perfect time to add one to your collection.
A style with zippers like this one is especially practical and easy to pair with various outfits.
It’s a timeless piece that will always elevate your look!
