Spring is a push and pull of temperature and precipitation, a season measured between mood, tilting towards the brighter ones – your wardrobe should do the same.
Spring doesn’t just fall on the other side, but it’s still cool, but instead of bracing for the cold, we look forward to the heat. The mornings are crisp and the afternoons can be warm, and by the evening they dodge the rain and deal with humidity. Our clothing needs to reflect that transition. This means layers that change temperature, colors that feel bright and lively, and layers that work with fabrics that predict summer rather than holding winter.
“More importantly, people don’t seem to know what to do with their AC during this period. They should blow it up or turn it off completely – it’s important to prepare anything.” Primer Style Contributor Daniel Baraka He explains his clothes that embody the spring dressing that embodies everything – practical, adaptable, optimistic.
His approach is not only good looking in one outfit. Unlike autumn, spring style is to understand how to dress confidently. Here’s what you can learn from his clothes and how to build a sharp and affordable spring wardrobe that does the same:
Layer: Hold your spring mood
Daniel’s outfit is a masterclass in the transitional layer. In a variety of colors and fabrics, this will give you a fall look, but the details give you a functional spring.
“The outfit features a trench coat, sweater, t-shirt and light denim, all tied with a lightweight scarf that adds pattern and fun.”
The goal is flexibility. Each should work together, but you need to stand on your own when you need to delete layers.

How to make this work for you: Stick to three core layers of a lightweight jacket, breathable sweater, and a base that can be suitably chosen and acts on its own, like a striped tee. Fineer weight scarves like this wool-silk blend aren’t just for winter. We think of them as functional accessories that add texture and personality without overheating that gives you a thick, cold front battle winter scarf.
Color: Why isn’t spring a light autumn outfit?
One of the biggest mistakes you make in spring is to maintain a fall and winter colour palette. “What colors represent spring? They are very different from autumn and winter. Spring is a light palette time. The days are longer, flowers bloom, and I love leaning on pastels. Pink, yellow, orange. These colors add optimism that day and feel very different from the sweaters you wear in autumn,” says Daniel.
Spring colors don’t just exchange darker shades for pastels – it’s Adjusts the overall tone of the outfit. Daniel’s sweater uses bright but grounded contrast colors, indicating the transition to summer.
His striped t-shirt continues that theme, moving away from the calm tone of winter. “I love how your outfit feels like you’re anticipating summer. As the day lightens, your colour palette should reflect that rather than sticking to the globe’s tones of autumn and winter.” Instead of clutching browns, deep greens and burgundy, spring is the time to begin introducing lighter, fresher colors that feel more energetic and positive.
How to add spring colors without overdoing it: Start with one brightly tone piece, such as a salmon sweater, soft blue or dusty yellow, and balance it with neutrals. If you find pastels too bold, try the muted version instead. Stripes and color blocking allow you to introduce color in a way that feels natural rather than overwhelming.
Fabric choice: The right texture for the season
Beyond the colours, spring sweaters are also focused How do they feel?
“Spring sweaters are mostly cotton, in contrast to fall and winter wool and cashmers. You can also choose a lean silk sweater or linen blend, but it can be difficult to find. I’ve found a lot. eBay Silk Sweatersays Daniel, for example.
Cotton is breathable, adaptable and perfect for transitional weather. Silk takes out most of the milder days of the sweater weight, while linen blends handle the maximum temperature swing.
Small textures (ribs, contrast stitching, or slight weaving) make even basic sweaters feel intentionally. “Essentially, you need a fun colour or an interesting pattern. This sweater has a bit of texture and is inspired by an Army sweater, but the contrasting colours make it more dynamic,” explains Daniel.

In spring, throw away the heavy twill and choose lighter denim. During the season, it feels intense and dark jeans are too heavy.

Daniel’s outfit captures everything that clarifies the style of spring: adaptability, optimism, and preparation for upcoming warm days. “That makes spring clothes different from autumn clothes. Both are transitional due to extreme weather, but they feel very different and our clothes should reflect that,” he says.
Spring is about dressing for where you go, not where you went. Exchange winter layers for breathable fabrics, show off the colours with confidence, and build your wardrobe with an eye on warm days. With just a few smart swaps, you’re ready for the season.
