Spring at work is a small problem: the commute is cold, the office is warm, and the outfit has to be the same one. Lighten in the right order and it holds.
Lighten fabric before structure
Keep the tailored trouser and the shoe. Change the weight of the shirt, the knit and the jacket. That way the outfit still reads as work while feeling like spring.
Cleaner colour
Move from winter's charcoal and chocolate toward stone, navy, light grey and cream. A single clearer colour, a soft blue or green, keeps the whole thing from looking washed out.
One layer, one decision
Keep a light jacket or overshirt for the morning and take it off at the desk. That is the whole trick for the season, and it works all spring.
The takeaway · Change the fabric and the colour first, and keep the structure of winter.
