The chill is still felt, but milder days are starting to appear on the horizon. And as we await the change of season, street style already offers clues about which garments and accessories will take center stage.
The key isn’t to rush out to shop. Many of these items are already part of the closet and only need a fresh look: familiar pieces that get updated by pairing them with some of the season’s trends.
Minimalist dress: less is more
When it comes to choosing a dress for this phase, minimalism stands out as one of the keys. Gone are the impossible fits and volumes that are overly complex: the proposal favors simpler lines that are easy to incorporate into daily life.
One of the combinations already seen in street style pairs ballet flats with a short-handled bag. The result preserves a simple aesthetic, but with that careful touch that elevates a basic piece into a current look.
White derby shoes, the new favorite
Ballet flats and loafers have a new competitor. It’s the white derby shoes, which this spring emerge as one of the strong bets among fashion experts.
White is the color chosen to take them to their full potential. They work with different garments and situations, in a logic similar to that of ballet flats, but they bring a trend-forward detail that completely changes a basic outfit.
Joggers: the sporty trouser becomes more sophisticated
Joggers also find a new way to enter the everyday wardrobe. The proposal puts a side stripe along the leg and pairs them with more sober, refined pieces, such as a blazer.
The contrast is exactly what works: a sports-inspired trouser paired with more formal pieces. To complete the look, the key is to keep it simple with a white T-shirt or a fine-knit sweater.
And there’s one detail that changes the result: instead of sneakers, the bet is to wear them with more formal shoes, such as loafers.
Oversize shirts: the masculine touch that stays current
Masculine style remains present and finds in shirts one of its main exemplars. Like blazers and pants, they are worn with an oversize silhouette that adds breadth and a relaxed aesthetic.
It’s one of those garments that can work as closet investment due to its versatility. They can be worn with jeans that are also oversized and loafers, reinforcing that masculine aesthetic.
To add a counterpoint, another option is to pair them with a knee-length straight skirt. The mix of a roomy item with one that has more defined lines creates an interesting contrast without needing to add too many elements.
Barrel jeans: the new everyday staple
Among denim models, barrel jeans stand out as a silhouette to keep in mind. Their curved shape moves them away from the classic jean and gives them a different presence, especially when chosen in colors beyond black.
One of the advantages of this model is that you can pair it with anything for any time of day. For a daytime look, add a polo shirt and loafers.
When night falls, the same jeans can change their tone with a slip top and metallic sandals. A further demonstration of how a piece that’s already in the closet can gain a new read thanks to its accessories.
In this season’s transition, fashion invites us to look again at what we already have. The difference may lie less in adding more garments and more in finding new combinations for those basics that return, once again, to occupy the center stage.
