How to Style Statement Pieces This Spring

Spring is the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe and embrace vibrant colors and unique styles. One of the best ways to do this is by incorporating statement pieces into your outfits. Whether it's a bold print, an eye-catching accessory, or a striking silhouette, statement pieces can elevate your look and showcase your personality. Here are some tips on how to style them effortlessly this spring.

1. Choose One Statement Piece

The key to successfully styling statement pieces is to choose just one to focus on in your outfit. When you have a standout item, it’s important to let it shine without overwhelming it with too many competing elements. For example, if you have a bold printed dress, keep the rest of your outfit simple with neutral shoes and understated accessories. I paired our Daisy Dreams dress with some neutral beige Chelsea boots and a tan faux crocodile work bag. These neutral pieces made the fun, vibrant colors of the dress pop!

2. Pair with Light Layers

Spring weather can be unpredictable, so layering is essential. When wearing a statement piece, opt for light layers that complement rather than overpower your outfit. A well-tailored denim jacket or a lightweight trench coat can add structure while keeping the focus on your standout item. For instance, a bright floral midi dress can be paired with a crisp white denim jacket for a chic yet casual look. Or make your statement piece the layer! Our Sophia Shirt Jacket is the perfect statement to a staple top like our Revival Top or Sydney Essential Top.

3. Mix and Match Textures

To add depth to your outfit, play with different textures. Pair a soft cotton tee with a leather midi skirt, or team a chunky knit sweater with a sleek satin slip skirt. The contrast between textures can highlight your statement piece and create a visually interesting outfit. Spring is also a great time to experiment with materials; think airy cottons, flowy silks, and lightweight linens. Try pairing the light and airy Brianna Pant with our structured knit Sydney Top.

4. Accessorize Sparingly

When styling statement pieces, remember that less is often more. If you've chosen a bold necklace or oversized earrings, keep other accessories minimal. A simple pair of stud earrings can allow your statement jewelry to take center stage. Use monochrome bags or shoes to maintain a cohesive look. We love the look of pairing our cute and feminine Kristy Coquette Tee with a gold staple earring and hair clip.

5. Color Coordination

Statement pieces often come in vibrant colors, making it essential to coordinate your outfit harmoniously. If your statement piece has multiple colors, pick one or two to highlight in the rest of your outfit. For instance, if you've wearing our bold, floral Rose Quilted Puff Jacket with hues of pink and green, consider pairing it with our gorgeous, soft and muted Martini Set. These colors compliment each other beautifully without overwhelming your outfit.

6. Embrace Bold Footwear

What better way to make a statement than through your shoes? Spring is the perfect season to wear strappy sandals, colorful sneakers, or bold ankle boots. When styled correctly, these can serve as statement pieces themselves. For instance, a pair of bright yellow mules can add a pop of color to a neutral outfit, drawing attention to your footwear while keeping the look balanced.

7. Playful Prints and Patterns

Spring is synonymous with blooming flowers and sunshine, so don’t hold back on prints! Floral patterns, polka dots, and stripes can all serve as statement pieces. When styling printed items, consider pairing them with solid hues to create a polished look. A light, airy white tee can be paired with our tailored Weekend Wanderer Shorts for a chic yet playful outfit.

8. Confidence is Key

No matter what statement piece you choose, the most important accessory you can wear is confidence. Embrace your unique style and wear your outfit with pride. Experiment with different combinations and don’t be afraid to step outside your comfort zone. The right attitude can elevate any look, making it memorable and personal.

Styling statement pieces in the spring can be a fun challenge that allows you to express your creativity and individuality. By following these tips and focusing on complementary elements, you can create outfits that are not only eye-catching but also seasonally appropriate. So, go ahead and incorporate those bold items into your spring wardrobe, and let your style shine!
