Spring is here. This is the non-negotiable part. Everything else about spring changes, like, well, the weather. So, how do you transition from winter to spring and look stylish when it rains one day and the sun shines the next?

What is a successful wardrobe and what is not

First, let’s discuss what a successful wardrobe is. It’s not filled with clothes that feel tired, bland, and mediocre. It’s not a closet where you reach for clothes and come back empty-handed.

A successful wardrobe should be filled with clothes that you’re excited to wear, feel great about, and give you an instant sense of confidence. You’ll get it and know you have a stylish “go-to” outfit for any occasion. This is a wardrobe for you!

So how do you create a spring wardrobe that works for you?

Chunk! Just like you break big tasks into small chunks, you need to do the same with your wardrobe. Find the clothes you need in 6 to 8 weeks. If you also take into account weekly activities and events, you can’t go wrong.

By breaking down your wardrobe this way, you’ll clearly see what you must wear (or don’t have to wear) and can note any gaps to ensure you’re shopping with purpose.

put it into practice

As part of this week’s wardrobe styling and updates with clients, the focus for the next 6-8 weeks will be on lightweight knitwear, jeans and dark trousers (for rain), maxi dresses and skirts, jackets and coats. We put away most of our heavy knitwear and stocked up on lightweight styles (t-shirts and shirts) to change into when the weather changes.

She knew exactly what she had to wear in the coming weeks, but also had clothes ready for the warmer weather. We have dedicated a shopping list of the additional styles we need and will be shopping for these next week.

You can do your entire spring wardrobe in one go like I did, or if it seems overwhelming, just focus on the next six weeks.

Try chunking. It will make your life easier.
