Spring Layers & Burgundy Statements – A Transitional Style Moment

16 April

Spring is in the air, but if you’re anything like me, you’re not ready to let go of rich textures and bold colour palettes just yet. This look was all about merging spring freshness with the structure and drama of transitional styling—and I’m lowkey obsessed with how it came together.

Let’s talk about the coat. Yes, it’s giving autumn—but hear me out. Spring isn’t all florals and floaty dresses. It’s also about unexpected layers, mixing moods, and creating contrast. This burgundy leather and shearling beauty instantly elevates the entire fit. It’s that one statement piece that pulls everything together and gives main character energy even on a casual day.

Underneath, I kept things light and playful with a soft grey turtleneck and matching pleated mini skirt. It’s giving schoolgirl with a grown twist, and the monochrome base lets the outer layers and accessories shine. The grey tones also bring a soft contrast that feels perfectly fresh for the season.

Now, let’s talk about those tights. Burgundy in spring? Absolutely. It’s all about playing with unexpected pops of colour, and these tights added warmth and depth without feeling heavy. Paired with knee-high black leather boots, the look balances sleekness with edge—ideal for those crisp spring mornings that still carry a bit of chill.

I topped it all off with a black beret (because a beret is never out of season), and a chic quilted crossbody for that final layer of polish.

I nearly forgot the very cute Chanel purse bag which added to the classic and signature look.

This look is a reminder that spring style doesn’t have to mean ditching your favorite cold-weather pieces. With a little imagination, you can remix your wardrobe and carry your winter staples into the new season with confidence.

Style Notes for Spring Slays:

Don’t pack away your bold coats just yet—use them as contrast pieces for lighter spring outfits.
Monochrome bases are your best friend when layering statement colors.
Try a deep-toned tight for a twist on spring pastels.
Mix soft textures (like knitwear) with structure (like leather) to create interesting visual layers.
