9 Ways To Wear Spring's Hottest Colors For Women

Getting dressed has not been the same since Covid-19 swept in and turned everything upside down. Clothes have been the least serious of the pandemic’s consequences, but it’s still a joy that has been robbed from our daily regime. Knowing that you look good makes you feel good and that confidence boost always seems to make the day go a little better. Working from home in the sweats you slept in—which you also ate dinner in last night—doesn’t spark quite the same energetic cycle.

An easy way to freshen up your wardrobe—and mood—for the season is through color. This spring’s standouts are sky blue, lilac purple, and grass green. What these hues have in common is an optimism, bursting forth with life after a winter spent in grey and black. For each color trend we found five effortless pieces to integrate into your ensemble.

Live The Process ‘Ballet’ Top
 
 
 
Live The Process ‘Ballet’ Top

Live The Process is an elevated activewear brand whose pieces can as easily be worn for hanging out as working out. This elegant, ballet-inspired top in seasonal sky blue is made from a sumptuous four way stretch fabric that can be tied in the front or back. Wear with the matching leggings for socially distanced yoga in the park or juxtapose the feminine top with a pair of oversized, low slung jeans.

Koio ‘Capri’ Sneaker

Give your classic white sneakers a spring 2021 update with a shot of blue. The ‘Capri’ low top from Koio is the perfect way for minimalists to work in some color without committing to something like an all-over baby blue sneaker. Wear yours with straight leg, light wash denim and a clean white tee for a timeless look.

L*SPACE 'Seaview' Dress
 
 
 
L*SPACE 'Seaview' Dress

This effortless cotton dress by swimwear brand L*Space is easy to pull on and look put together, but still feel really comfortable. It has a twisted detail at the center that gives it more visual interest than your typical tank dress, and defines the waist. Layer up with a cropped cardigan now and wear on its own come summer.

Lisa Says Gah ‘Emma’ Sweater

Coming off a half decade of palatable millennial pink, there is something charmingly playful about lilac right now. That essence is perfectly captured in the trippy warp check of this mock neck sweater by the in-house brand at Lisa Says Gah, an online boutique that highlights independent female designers and sustainable fashion. Wear out with cropped jeans and ankle boots or at home with leggings and the remote.

John Elliott Asymmetrical Tank Top
 
 
 
John Elliott Asymmetrical Tank Top

Sexy but understated, this asymmetrical tank by John Elliott gives instant graphic punch to any outfit. Try with high-rise, cropped pants and a minimalist sandal for going out, or pair with oversized sweats and slides for an “I’m wearing this on purpose” lounge look.

Donni Half-Zip Pullover
 
 
 
Donni Half-Zip Pullover

This pullover by made-in-LA brand Donni is accented by an unexpected pearl at the zipper’s pull tab. It’s made from a cotton waffle knit fabric ideal for days where you want long sleeves but without the heat of of a fleece-y sweatshirt. This sporty style is great for evening strolls and weekend escapes.

Ciao Lucia ‘Renata’ Crop Top
 
 
 
Ciao Lucia ‘Renata’ Crop Top

Itty bitty and screaming for summer, the cropped ‘Renata’ top by Ciao Lucia is the antithesis of winter. The cropped bodice is balanced out by exaggerated sleeves for a statement top that would pair well with all things high-rise, especially its coordinating skirt.

Little Liffner Micro Bag
 
 
 
Little Liffner Micro Bag

Here’s another tiny hit of green that delivers a big punch. This small (as in 5” x 7”) crossbody is made from lizard-embossed calfskin and sized to fit the essentials—phone, wallet, keys, hand sani. It’s a low investment way to get in on the color trend, especially if you’re wary of wearing green with your skin tone.

Urban Outfitters 'Naya' Pant
 
 
 
Urban Outfitters 'Naya' Pant

These high rise flares are unapologetically retro. They fit slim through the waist and thigh, giving way at the knee to a wide leg opening. Wear with an oversized cropped knit now, and go all in on the throw-back look with a tube top come summer.
