Spring in Victoria can be unpredictable – crisp mornings, warm afternoons, and cool evenings, often all in one day. While we’re excited to step out of heavy winter coats, it’s not quite warm enough for true summer dressing. The solution? Layering with intention.

Here’s how to build stylish, flexible spring outfits that adapt as the weather changes, while keeping comfort and elegance front of mind.

Your foundation should feel light against the skin. Fine alpaca knits and cotton tees are perfect for balancing warmth and breathability.

💡 Tip: Choose neutral tones like ivory, oat, or charcoal – they make mixing and matching effortless.

Swap heavy jumpers for cropped knits, cardigans, or vests. These give shape without bulk and can be added or removed as the day warms.

💡 Tip: Transition your colour palette – softer tones like blush, stone, and sky blue bring instant spring freshness.

A trench coat, lightweight wrap, or soft tailored jacket is perfect for cool mornings and evenings. Look for pieces that can be styled open or belted.

💡 Tip: Keep one versatile coat or wrap by the door – it’s the hero piece you’ll reach for most.

A scarf in a lighter weave still adds warmth when the wind picks up, while sunglasses and a straw tote prepare you for sunny spells.

💡 Tip: Accessories are the fastest way to shift your look from “wintery” to “spring fresh.”

Alpaca socks are the hidden heroes of transitional dressing: warm for chilly mornings, breathable enough for afternoons on the go. Pair with ankle boots, loafers, or sneakers for easy seasonal style.

💡 Tip: Keep your footwear flexible – it’s the final layer that can change the feel of your outfit.
