Spring Wardrobe Essentials I’m Reaching For In 2022
About this time of year, I want a wardrobe refresh. Iām not the same woman I was last spring and I want my wardrobe to reflect that. Today, Iām updating this post from last year with some fresh ideas with new links and rejoining my friend Susan ofĀ une femme dāun certain Ć¢geĀ to share some of our spring wardrobe essentials.
Every womanās essentials will vary with her personal style aesthetic, but they should create the backbone of her wardrobe so itās easier to put cohesive outfits together. Here are the spring essentials I find most helpful:
A Third Layer
Twill and canvas jackets are a great spring option. I donāt own one but Iām thinking theyād be perfect for my climate. Here are 2 great classics from Talbots I tried on a few weeks ago.
A denim jacket is often my jacket of choice this time of year in either blue, white, or gray. This one was a new find from Blair which fits fabulously.
Long and short cardigans are a popular layer for me year-round and on constant repeat in the spring. This time of year I opt for thinner weights that seldom button. Under these, I prefer sleeveless tanks because short sleeves leave a lump under the thin cardigan.
This time of year, my tee shirts also get a thorough going over to see which needs to be replaced. Whites seldom last longer than one season for me because my sunscreen and deodorant, yellow the fabric. I donāt tend to invest much in t-shirts for this reason and many of mine come from Target, etc.
Modern Jean
Jean styles get dated, so I like to keep up to date with whatās new. Iām leaning toward straight and fuller leg jeans this spring, which helps add balance to my wide shoulders. I love deep wash in the cooler months, but as the spring rolls around, I reach for lighter washes and white jeans. Luckily, high-rise options are still abundant but Iām seeing lots of mid and lower rise making their way back.
Comfy Shoes
Comfy feet top everything for me these days because Iām desperately trying to stave off bunion surgery on my left foot. The level of formality of my outfits has changed to meet my shoe needs but I still wonāt wear āgnome shoesā. That has me reaching for modern sports sneakers and shoes with arch support. I have an upcoming post on my current favorites so stay tuned for that.
A FEW FAVORITES
SUNSCREEN
Not a garment but sunscreen is a very important item for me year-round.
I am very persnickety about my sunscreen because I am a melanoma survivor. Plus, photoaging is really adding up and no amount of beauty sleep will fix that. I prefer a physical block and I want cruelty-free options so I am thrilled to add MDSolarSciences to my repertoire this spring.
