Hit the roll up

Rolling up the cuffs of any pants is a great way to add some spring sweetness to your style. Simply flip the cuff over itself until your jeans hit about mid-calf or just below. You can do this with skinnies, straightlegs or bootcuts—just tuck in any excess fabric so it fits your leg. Pair your newly cuffed jeans with some festive flats or awesome sandals for a spring look that’s super trendy and easy to do.

Tuck in the tunic

Nope, we’re not talking uniform style—tucking in your shirt goes a long way! Tuck the front end of your oversized sweaters into your jeans for a sassy look, or pair your shorts with a tucked-in tank and a belt for a simple, everyday style. This spring you don’t need to have high-waisters to get that chic, tucked-in look you love.

Layer like cake

Pair your button down shirts and sweet sweaters with a fun patterned or graphic print tank or tee to make your outfit pop this spring. Color-block that look with a solid scarf and some jean cut-offs to walk out of your house cool and confident in your “brand new” spring outfit.

Scrunch your sweaters

Wear that winter collection of cardigans again and just roll up your sleeves to stay in fashion this spring. This look is perfect for those cool and breezy spring afternoons—especially when paired with some cute and flirty spring skirts or shorts. You’ll stay in season—and cozy!—this spring with a simple sleeve scrunch.

Flats over flip-flops

Flats will dress up any casual spring outfit and bring it from pool to school. Flip-flops are super comfy and adorbs, but for those days when you just want to add a little something extra to your look, try matching your sweater 'n’ shorts look with a pair of flats.
