Preparing for transitional spring weather is tricky. It’s hard to know what to wear, especially when it comes to coats and shoes. Style expert Natalie Sexton is here to help us navigate this awkward weather and step out in style with ease. From waterproof booties to oversized letterman jackets and bright crossbody bags, there’s a transitional outfit no matter your style.
Statement raincoat
Similar to the popular shacket, the mid-length boxy style cut makes it easy to layer during the winter-spring transition. We love a good raincoat for its functionality and fashion. Bold saturated hues and neon shades are super on-trend right now, and a statement raincoat pairs perfectly with all your neutrals. We love it paired with an oversized blouse, classic black pants and a bright bag to elevate your outfit of the day!

Waterproof parka
If you’re looking for a transition piece for any kind of weather, we love the longline waterproof parka from Geox. With its minimalist design and detachable reversible hood, it pairs perfectly with pastel hues and neutrals. Add in a pair of trendy jeans and a floral embroidered sweater to complete this elevated basics look.

Leather blazer
A leather blazer is the perfect transitional weather piece to elevate all your basics this season. It’s a great addition to tanks, tees and jeans, but works really well with casual athleisure pieces as well. Go for a classic black to add a bit of edge to more feminine spring pieces, plus you can wear it with everything. Tomato red is a hot colour for 2022 and it’s a chic alternative to the usual pastels we usually see in spring. We love this bright fleecy jogger stretchy midi skirt for its comfort and style. Round out the whole look with some colour blocking with these yellow sneakers and bag.

Varsity jacket
Go for a sporty vibe with a varsity lettermen-style jacket for spring. We love the oversized fit of this one from Pretty Little Thing. Keep on the relaxed fit vibe going with a matching set and a chunky waterproof bootie to tie it all together.
