Spring’s spirit of renewal makes itself known in many ways; an excitement mimicked in our wardrobes by the return of color, and relaxed, personality-packed separates. We all know dressing for the season has its own challenges—an unwelcome rain shower, a rogue summer heat wave— which is why we asked Vogue editors to reveal their tricks for outmaneuvering those tricky style moments, while making the most of the season’s sartorial possibilities. (You’ll hear the team talk a lot about texture and layers!) Whether your taste leans minimalist or maximalist, there are plenty of ways to embrace spring’s optimistic energy, which our editors unpack below.
Vogue Editors’ Spring Favorites:
For some, the recent runways offered subtle yet impactful styling cues. “I’ve been obsessed with all of the half-tucked collars,” notes fashion writer Christian Allaire, pointing to the kind of undone detail that shifts a look from polished to personal. Elsewhere, fashion editor Ciarra Lorren Zatorski relies on the power of accessories to elevate her spring looks, finding fresh inspiration in the various pendants seen at Bottega Veneta, Khaite, and Tory Burch.
Spring, of course, presents the perfect opportunity to mix and match seasonal staples: fall’s trench coat with summer’s raffia bag, or a lace-trimmed dress toughened up with a leather jacket you sported in the winter. There are no rules, just options. Our editors show you how, with their go-to spring styling tricks explained, below.

“Every spring, I resist the urge to jump straight into bare layers and instead lean into thin, multi-layer knits that let me adjust as the day warms up. I especially love to layer these thin knits from Zara and pair with a refined skirt from Toteme. It’s a simple formula that feels considered yet still effortless—perfect for unpredictable spring weather.”
