Do you have any fun plans coming up? I’m currently prepping for our neighborhood Easter egg hunt and I have two kids birthdays to plan soon. I’m happy to see that the weather is warming up and flowers are blooming. It’s the start of a busy season full of brunches, weddings, garden parties, graduations, and everything in between. But let’s be honest: figuring out what to wear for all these events can be overwhelming. That’s why I’ve put together a go-to guide for looking stylish, polished, and perfectly in-season—no matter what your social calendar throws your way.
1. Spring Wedding (Outdoor or Indoor)
What to Wear:
Go for a flowy midi or maxi dress in a soft floral or pastel tone. Think chiffon, satin, or crepe fabrics that move with you. If it’s an outdoor wedding, block heels or dressy sandals are your best friend.
Chic Tip: Bring a lightweight wrap or cropped blazer for cool evenings or breezy venues.
2. Easter or Spring Brunch
What to Wear:
A shirtdress, tailored jumpsuit, or a feminine blouse paired with a midi skirt. Keep it soft and airy—think blush, lavender, sky blue, or crisp white.
Chic Tip: Accessorize with gold hoops, a straw bag, and espadrilles or slingback flats for that easy Sunday polish.
3. Garden Party or Outdoor Soirée
What to Wear:
Go romantic with a puff-sleeve mini dress or a linen set. Embrace botanical prints, ruffles, or eyelet details. Comfort is key, so opt for flats or wedge sandals if you’ll be walking on grass.
Chic Tip: A wide-brim hat not only makes a statement, but it also protects your skin. Win-win.
4. Graduation Ceremony
What to Wear:
For grads or guests, a knee-length sheath dress or an elevated jumpsuit works beautifully. Choose breathable fabrics since you’ll likely be outside for a bit.
Chic Tip: Avoid sky-high heels if you’ll be walking across a stage or stadium—opt for sleek block heels or stylish loafers instead.
5. Casual Spring Date or Girls’ Day Out
What to Wear:
Denim with a twist—like high-waisted wide-leg jeans with a puff-sleeve blouse or a denim dress with statement sneakers. Add pops of color with accessories.
Chic Tip: Lightweight layers (like a cropped cardigan or a trench) let you roll with unpredictable spring weather in style.
6. Baby Showers & Bridal Showers
What to Wear:
Opt for something soft, elegant, and pretty—a pastel wrap dress or shirtdress, a pleated midi skirt with a tucked-in blouse, or a dress with a subtle floral pattern.
Chic Tip: Keep it fresh and clean—showers are typically daytime events, so go easy on the glam and heavy prints.
Spring is the season of renewal, and your wardrobe should reflect that same lightness and joy. Stick to breathable fabrics, soft colors, and polished details. When in doubt, dress one step above casual—you’ll never regret looking a little more put-together.
