"It’s here: that transitional time of year when you’re ready for spring colors, lighter layers, and maybe just looking a little more put-together in general (since, if we’re being honest, we spent the entire winter in leggings and sweats). However, it’s most likely still cold outside, so you’ll need a few winter to spring outfits to get you through the transition.
The changing of seasons from winter to spring is an exciting one for a lot of reasons. Obviously, the #1 reason is that the weather is finally getting warmer and we can spend time outside, but I would argue that the change in how we dress is right up there in excitement level. But dressing for the progressing seasons is tricky because you never know what the weather might be like on any given day.
That’s why we took some of the guesswork out of it for you. These six looks are full of spring textures, some fun colors, essential layering pieces, and on-trend picks for the new season. Check out these mom-approved outfits to wear during the transition from winter to spring below.
Colorful Sneakers Winter to Spring Transition Outfit
What’s one of the biggest trends we’ll continue to see for all of 2025? Colorful sneakers. And there is truly no better time to wear them than during the winter-to-spring transition. They’ll keep your feet warm but provide that much-needed pop of spring color. Pair your faves with a layered white tee and short-sleeve cardigan, plus a pair of H&M’s new featherlight denim (read: jeans that feel like sweats).
Comfy Casual Winter to Spring Transition Outfit
If you’re looking to be the coolest mom at school pick-up, this is the outfit formula for you. These reader-favorite barrel pull-on pants from Abercrombie pair perfectly with their cult-favorite essential hoodie. Finish the look with sporty sneakers, oval sunglasses, and chunky mini gold hoops for an outfit that hits every time.
White Jeans Winter to Spring Transition Outfit
Madewell’s spring collection is to die for, and this look is made up entirely of pieces from it. The airy denim jeans and zip-up sweater are items you’ll have in your capsule wardrobe forever. But the true showstoppers here are the gorgeous denim mules and suede shoulder bag.

Athleisure Winter to Spring Transition Outfit
This look is comfortable, casual, and on-trend all rolled into one. Built around the khaki denim jacket that truly stopped me in my tracks on Gap’s website, the rest of the look is simple but flattering. A fun, spacious canvas leopard tote and denim baseball cap take it to the next level.

Midi Dress Winter to Spring Transition Outfit
You might’ve seen these stunning barre-inspired Aerie dresses on your TikTok For You page. They’re expected to be a spring and summer staple of 2025, so I’d get one while they’re still in stock! This style also comes in a few neutrals and spring-appropriate green and blue—it’s impossible to choose a favorite. Wear yours with an updated denim jacket, a slouchy tote, and silver sneakers.
Elevated Casual Winter to Spring Transition Outfit
Another store that’s really killing it with their spring collection? Everlane. All of these clothing pieces can be found on the editor-staple site. I’m especially obsessed with the new Mary Jane style of our long-time favorite ballet flats. Finish the look with a gorgeous leather belt bag from Quince (which is also a reader and editor fave!).
