Spring is here, and that means it’s time to swap out the heavy layers for fresh, effortless outfits! But if the thought of putting together stylish looks every day makes you want to hide in your trusty leggings, don’t worry—I’ve got you covered.

I’m sharing five no-fail outfit formulas that will take the guesswork out of getting dressed this season. These looks are designed to make you feel put-together, comfortable, and most importantly—confident. The best part? You probably already have most of these pieces in your closet!

Let’s dive in and make getting dressed the easiest (and most fun) part of your day.

Meet Monochromatic! Your instant hack for looker longer and leaner

Let’s talk about an outfit formula that’s easy, flattering, and perfect for busy days when you just want to look put together without the stress.

Here’s the magic combo:

✨ Monochromatic base with neutral shoes and a light layer ✨

Why it works: Monochromatic outfits are incredibly flattering because they create a long, uninterrupted line, making you look taller and leaner.

Why I love it: I am not a tall person and I’ve had twins. Anything that makes me look taller and hides imperfections, I’m HERE for!

Unexpected Style Magic: Blazers, Tees & Bold Colors

Formula: ✨ Mixing Genres and Bold Colors ✨

Why it works: Mixing genres—like pairing a casual tee with a structured blazer—instantly adds contrast and interest to your outfit. It’s effortless, chic, and keeps your style from feeling one-dimensional. Now, take it up a notch by mixing bold colors, and you’ve got a look that’s fresh, modern, and full of personality! It’s all about balance—let the blazer add polish while the tee keeps it relaxed, and let the colors bring the fun. Fashion should be playful, and this combo is an easy way to shake up your wardrobe without overthinking it!

Why I love it:I think it’s fun to do things that are easy and yet a little unexpected! Most people are afraid of mixing red and hot pink because it seems like it doesn’t “go.” But in reality, they do and it packs a really big punch! I am also a big fan of mixing genres for an added kick like pairing a super casual T-shirt with a blazer. It gives cool vibes without looking like you’re trying too hard. Winning!

Legs for DAYS!!

Formula: Form fitted print up top + wide leg on the bottom

Why it works: Something I am always teaching about in Style School is adding volume. You want to do it strategically based on your body type and you want to pick one place to add it (your top half or your bottom half) not both! This formula is showing you how to do just that! Also, when you do a fun print like this that also has some ruching along the side, it is camouflaging like a boss! It’s going to give you an instant boost of confidence. Pro-tip: wear point shoes with your wide leg pants for further elongation!

Why I love it:✨ Makes my short legs look nice and long✨ It’s SUPER comfortable and flattering ✨ It’s sneakily another T-shirt with jeans ;)

This combo is practical, flattering, and gives off total Spring chic vibes! Who's ready to give it a try? Don't forget to tag me on social!

Athleisure with a Literal Twist

Formula: Print with a twist detail + Ankle length Athleisure Pant

Why it works: When a striped top with a built-in twist does the work of camouflaging the midsection and your pants secretly feel like joggers but pass as slacks—boom! Comfort meets chic. Dress it up with flats or go sporty with sneaks! 🚀

Why I love it:

I am kind of known for being sneaky with my athleisure wear and this outfit is RIGHT up my alley! It’s so dang comfortable, flattering, cute, and puts a literal Spring in my step! It’s basically the epitome of everything I am about when it comes to my functional fashion philosophy. Give me wash and wear, grab and go, throw on and run out the door without looking like it ANY day of the week!

The Ultimate Power Trio: Color, Shape, Texture

Formula: Texture + Color + Puff = Spring Outfit Dream

Why it works: A form fitted top with texture and a puffy sleeve is going to give your top half some great visual interest. And,when you pair it with a pop of color on the bottom with a neutral shoe it will elongate and draw the eye away from the things we don’t want to focus on! That’s what I like to call your outfit doing the MOST!

Why I love it:It’s the perfect balance of personality and polish—fun enough to turn heads but not so loud you feel out of place. Plus, it’s endlessly versatile and never goes out of style. Those are the pieces I want in my wardrobe for life!

✨ Pro Tip: make those neutral shoes some with height and you are going to be a Springy site for sore eyes!

With these five outfit formulas in your back pocket, you’ll never have to stare at your closet feeling stuck again. Getting dressed should be simple, stress-free, and make you feel amazing—and now, it can be!
