At long last, the dreary days of winter are behind us, and spring is in the air. Now that the weather is warming up, it’s time to pack away your bulky layers and winter boots and start thinking about your spring wardrobe. Finally, you can reunite with your old warm-weather favorites and pick up some stylish additions for your closet as well. But keep the following in mind as you do your spring shopping: While trends come and go, you can’t ever go wrong with a few key pieces that look great and make you feel your very best. So be true to yourself and stick with styles, colors, and textures that you truly love. These six tips will help you look fashion-forward while feeling great this spring.

Wear a vibrant pair of jeans.

A great-fitting pair of jeans in a shade other than blue or black is the perfect way to add some vibrancy to your closet. Some shades to consider include olive green, pale pink, or—if you’re feeling bold—bright tangerine. Pairing your colorful jeans with a simple top and toned-down accessories makes this look a winner. Jeans available from Nordstrom.

Wear head-to-toe white.

Everyone loves wearing bright spring colors, but sometimes there’s nothing better than wearing all white from head to toe. The secret to pulling off this look is finding the shade that’s appropriate for your coloring. If bright white doesn’t work for you, try dressing in a creamier shade of white.  Check out this look at Worth New York.

Choose a skirt.

As we transition to warmer temperatures, it’s the perfect time for wearing skirts. A maxi skirt is a great option because it has the feel of springtime, but still offers warmth and coverage during not-quite-hot-yet weather. For a different look that’s great for the office, pair your shorter skirts with a lightweight sweater, tights, and a nice pair of flats. And if you’re blessed with a hot and sunny day, enjoy wearing any skirt you please with bare legs and your favorite sandals. Midi skirt from Nordstrom.

Top your outfit with a spring scarf.

Scarves aren’t just for winter weather anymore. A scarf in a lightweight fabric is the perfect fashion accessory for any season. During the warmer months, they’re a great way to add a “pop” to your outfit or try out a bold color or pattern. Plus, a scarf or shawl made from linen, silk, or pashmina can double as a wrap to keep you warm when it gets cooler in the evenings. Scarf from Nordstrom.

Bring on the sandals.

The weather is finally warm enough for you to free your feet. So choose a great pair of sandals and embrace open-toe season. There are plenty of great slides you can wear with any outfit while you’re running errands, or you can choose heeled or strappy options for dressier occasions. And since you’ll be showing off your toes a lot in the coming months, treat yourself to a pedicure and select a polish shade that makes you feel pretty and reminds you that it is spring!  Sandals available at Nordstrom.

Try a new ’do.

If you’ve been looking for a pick-me-up after winter, why not try out a new hairstyle? It’s the perfect way to bring your hair back to life after months of static and dryness. Consider cutting some layers to give movement to longer locks, or adding bangs to frame your face, or going a shade lighter than your current color. Even a quick trim from your stylist can make you look and feel more refreshed and polished. Then add a great pair of sunglasses.  Sunglasses Nordstrom.

No matter how you choose to celebrate spring fashion this year, remember that the most important factor is how your clothing makes you feel. If you love what you’re wearing every day, you will feel renewed and walk with a spring in your step…and the very best part is, you’ll look great doing it!
