Lightweight and airy ensembles are perfect for the spring season, but if you think they look too feminine for you, go for structured and streamlined ones. Like Vanessa, you may go for lavender off-shoulder top and breezy trousers but pay attention to the cut and drape of the fabric so you’ll keep everything minimal yet effortless. When wearing breezy tops and blouses, you may always go for a pair of culottes that looks boxy and structured regardless of the fabric it’s made of.

Add some unexpected edge to your spring looks.

Wearing leather ensembles may be the easiest trick to get that edgy look, but you can still experiment with structured pieces, funky tights, and urban accessories. If you wish to channel your edgy and grunge style, you may think of a pair of fishnet tights that will look great with your basic sweater and patent leather skirt like Vanessa did. Or, go for architectural shoes, studded shoes, rock-chic booties, peep-toe boots, and even grunge boots that will give you that tough-girl look.
