From Paris to London: The Spring Outfit Combinations Fashion Enthusiasts Are Sporting at the Moment

      As someone who prefers a more minimalist wardrobe, I appreciate having outfit formulas that I can rely on. They eliminate the uncertainty of getting dressed, and I know I’ll feel good in whatever I choose, as I usually opt for combinations that are both comfortable and stylish. For spring, there are a few go-to looks that I repeatedly turn to. One of my favorites is pairing a trench coat with capris and either kitten heels or ballet flats. I also enjoy a pointelle ensemble, such as a coordinated knee-length skirt with a tank top or cardigan.

      Even though I have my favorite outfits, it’s always enjoyable to browse through photos for fresh styling ideas. Sometimes, I notice specific pieces appearing in various outfits, which helps me fine-tune my spring shopping list or discover new ways to wear items I already own. Below, I’ve compiled five outfits inspired by styles I’ve recently seen from people in Paris and London.

      Trench Coat + Cropped Flares + Kitten Heels

      Trench coats are an essential element of spring for me. I recently acquired the Provence Coat from Rue Sophie, and I’ve been exploring different ways to style it. I like the idea of pairing it with cropped flare pants and kitten heels, and I'm also considering the High Sport Kick Pant as a more relaxed yet stylish alternative.

      Oversize Sunglasses + Knee-Length Skirt + Pumps

      I’ve been wearing my Chimi Giada sunglasses daily since I purchased them, and I've developed a fondness for knee-length skirts. I enjoy seeing them styled alongside pointed-toe pumps.

      Button-Down + Tailored Midi Skirt + Loafers

      A button-down shirt paired with a tailored midi skirt and loafers feels effortless yet classic. I like the concept of incorporating a colorful button-down to add some flair, and I'm eyeing Mango’s Wool-Blend Midi Skirt for a similar style.

      Dress-Over-Pants

      I first encountered dress-over-pants looks a couple of springs ago in Brooklyn, and now it seems less of a trend and more of an everyday styling choice. This combination adds interest to any outfit, and since I predominantly wear skirts and dresses, it’s a convenient way to incorporate them during cooler weather when bare legs or tights aren’t ideal.

      Cardigan + Circle Skirt + T-Bar Pumps

      This outfit features a structured cardigan paired with a circle skirt and T-bar pumps. To recreate this look, I’m considering J.Crew’s Milano-Stitch Cinched-Waist Cardigan priced at $48, Reformation’s Gemma Skirt at $189, along with the same shoes shown in the picture: Aeyde’s $535 T-bar pumps.
