Spring has sprung! Now, what to wear?
With pesky in-between temperatures prevalent throughout the season, it can be difficult to find the right outfit to adapt to the ever-changing elements.
To stay comfortable through rain or shine, we recommend stocking up on women’s light layers.
For spring outfits for women, stick to materials that offer moisture-wicking properties, balanced warmth, and wind or water resistance. Oh, and don’t forget bright colors to match the seasonal vibe.
Speaking of colors, for women’s spring fashion inspiration, we’re following advice from the go-to palette guru: PANTONE. This year, the seasonal must-haves include bright orange, pale purple, and classics like brilliant white and gray, thoughtfully named “Northern Droplet” which of course makes us think of our Seattle hometown’s cloudy days.
To get started, we curated a women’s spring fashion layering roadmap, complete with versatile options with PANTONE-approved colors and Cutter & Buck-approved comfort, durability, and overall material quality.
