Lookbook

I’ve always been someone who likes to invest in a “coat wardrobe” because it’s one of the easiest ways to instantly look pulled together with minimal effort. Keep the base outfit simple with a tee and jeans so you can let your jacket be the focal point. There are some really gorgeous spring jackets out there right now so I thought I would round up my favorite styles in today’s post.

Spring Jackets I’m Loving

Farm Rio Sea Garden Scarf Soft Jacket

Farm Rio is one of my favorite brands to go to for unique and gorgeous prints. I love the mixing of prints on this one with the floral panels edged with the sharp diagonal stripes.

Sezane Dakoty Jacket

This patch jacket is very boho and whimsical which is perfect for someone who loves lightweight fabrics and dainty details.

Maeve Retro Floral Cropped Trench

Nothing screams spring more than a pink floral trench. If wearing something like this seems daunting, the easiest way to style it is with a simple base. Perhaps a white tee and jeans? Or even a silky cream blouse with black trousers which will create a nice contrast and tone down the overly feminine print.

Avec Les Filles Short Trench Coat

This is exactly the type of coat I would wear when I used to work on office job. I LOVE a belted jacket and a leather belt makes this even more chic. You could even wear this as a blazer with a crewneck cashmere sweater underneath, wide leg trousers and pointy toe pumps.

Boden Embroidered Utility Jacket

I love all the colorful details on such a utilitarian jacket.

RAILS Lucien Jacket

If a simple trench bores you to tears but you want something chic enough to wear to the office, this is the jacket to buy. The tie waist gives it shape while the plaid collar and cuffs gives the jacket some character.

SEA NY Karmen Jacket

Totally quirky but there is something about this SEA NY jacket that I LOVE! Even though it’s quite bold, this isn’t necessarily a very trendy piece. The shape of the jacket is classic while the print makes it unique and special. It is a jacket that you can pull out in 10 years and everyone will stop you about it.

Barbour Bleached Olive Icons Cropped Jacket

The overall look of this coat is quintessential Barbour but it’s the contrast of the pink collar that really make me stop scrolling. I’m not typically a pastel person but that pink combined with olive green is perfection.

Tuckernuck Reversible Quilted Townsend Jacket

Honestly, you need to see this jacket on the Tuckernuck site because it shows the interior of the jacket which really made me pick it for this roundup. The striped side is very simple but the other floral side is so gorgeous! I would personally cuff the sleeves each time to show the contrast of the other side.

Boden Lightweight Rain Coat

Years ago raincoats were so boring and tragic yet served a useful purpose. Thank goodness we have moved past the boring stage and brands are embracing creating rain coats that are more enjoyable to wear. While the color blocking makes this stand out from other raincoats, the neutral colors will allow for easily styling in your closet.

Apiece Apart Long Selva Jacket

The draping of this utility jacket is absolutely gorgeous. Often I gravitate towards a stiffer jacket shape but this fit looks so polished and chic in an effortless way. Imagine this worn with all white underneath and some fabulous statement earrings!

Farm Rio Dark Blue Embroidered Pockets Jacket

Another Farm Rio discovery that is a bit more a subtle pattern/print but still quite impactful. Because the base of the coat is dark, this would easily work throughout fall/winter as well as early spring.

Spring wedding season is in full swing and it can be hard to decide what to wear as a wedding guest. Should you choose something short, long, printed, solid, bright colors or neutral? There are so many options out there to choose from so I thought I would share some of my personal looks that would work for a spring wedding as well as other options that would suit a variety of venues and dress codes. When I think of spring wedding guest outfits, I immediately picture lightweight fabrics in soft colors.  Delicate details mixed with neutral accents perfectly embody a spring wedding guest look.

I like to err on the side of being a tad too fancy rather than not fancy enough when it comes to weddings. It’s one of the only times you can really get glam so take advantage of it and enjoy wearing something a bit more dressy. I like my dress to be the star of the look and often choose neutral and simple accessories to wear with my wedding guest dress. Here is a roundup of spring wedding guest outfit ideas at all price points.

What To Wear To a Spring Wedding

Sleeveless Sheath Dress

The cut of this dress is absolutely gorgeous and the color is perfect for spring. The neckline is a bit unique as there is a slight cutaway on one shoulder which is very flattering. I love the midi length of this dress and definitely think it would be a great choice for a cocktail attire dress code as well as something a bit more casual. And I could even see this worn to a beach wedding because of the light green color and mermaid style fit of the bottom portion. I like it worn without a belt but you could also add a delicate metallic or beaded belt to add some texture and color.

What To Wear To An Outdoor Spring Wedding

Floral Maxi Dress (similar)

This is the perfect dress to wear to almost any spring function (graduation, mother’s day, baby shower, wedding, etc). I would opt for a look like this for a garden wedding or something outside. It’s flowy and delicate which is great in the heat though you could always drape a wrap over your shoulders in the evening. It’s not dressy enough for black tie or even cocktail attire, so I would choose this for a slightly more casual wedding or an outdoor wedding.

Midi Floral Print Dress

I actually call this my “wedding guest dress” simply because for me it checks all the boxes of any wedding I could go to. The length makes it suitable for something requiring cocktail attire or for an outdoor garden venue. The embroidering on the dress is so much more beautiful in person and really elevates the entire look. Since it’s not a true pastel or even rich jewel tones, it’s a timeless floral print and color way that would work year round for nearly any season.

Floral Mini Dress

So many wedding guest dresses are typically midi length or ankle length but don’t be afraid of opting for a mini dress for a slightly  more casual dress code.

One Shoulder Ruched Dress

This is one of my most recommended wedding guest dresses. One of my friends purchased it for a spring wedding last year and told me it was one of the best dresses she has ever worn. It comes in a ton of colors but this sage dress would be perfect for a springtime wedding.

Floral Ruffle Maxi Dress

Florals will always be a great option for spring weddings. I really love the tiered skirt with the bold slit to really make a statement.

Slip Maxi Dress

A simple slip dress is a timeless silhouette. If pastels are  not your favorite, this rich blue is still suitable for spring especially with the large floral prints across the dress. And the price point is great!

Pink Gown with Floral Appliques

I’m not normally someone who loves an all pink look but the details of this dress really work with the vibrant shade.

Halter Neck Satin Gown

An absolute stunner for a more formal wedding dress code in a color that could easily be worn all year round. It’s not pastel but still soft enough to embrace spring’s color palette.

Floral Halter Neck Midi Dress

This fit and style reads a bit more casual so it’s a wonderful option for an outdoor spring wedding.

Strapless Floral Midi Dress

Florals done in the most minimal way possible – I absolutely LOVE this dress.

Baby Blue One Shoulder Gown

The draping on this gown is stunning and allows for a gorgeous statement earring!

Lilac Strapless Midi Dress

This dress is a bit more bold though not too trendy so it would still be a style that could be worn for years to come. The floral applique is so unique and would be perfect if you love a more whimsical and artistic type of look.

What Colors to Wear to a Wedding in Spring?

Pastels

This is an obvious choice but pastels will always work for a spring wedding.

Muted shades

Think sage dress instead of sea foam green. Muted shades of bolder colors are great options for spring weddings.

Florals

Not groundbreaking wedding attire but floral prints will forever embody a spring wedding.
