If you’re anything like me, you’re still bundled up and dealing with cold wintery temperatures. But I’m also longing for the days of sunshine and nights with a nice breeze. You might be, too. That’s one of the reasons why Spring is my favorite season. Besides the beautiful weather, it’s the perfect time to show off your style and have fun in vibrant colors and prints.
While trends are great, every wardrobe needs a few basics. These are the timeless pieces that create the perfect foundation for your wardrobe. Because these items are such classics, you’ll be able to find them at your local Goodwill®. They’re high on fashion but low on price, which is always a great thing. The four classics below should be part of your capsule wardrobe. Add them to your thrift shopping wish list for Spring.
The Classic Trench Coat

If there’s only one lightweight piece of outerwear that you add to your wardrobe this season, let it be a trench coat. It seamlessly goes from work to weekend or casual to chic. Also, the varieties of cuts fit many styles. Wondering what my go-to style tip is for trench coats? Swap out the belt to create a new look whenever you want. You can do a thin belt or a large peplum one.
If the trench coat isn’t quite your style, there’s another piece of outerwear that always stays on the wardrobe classics list: the denim jacket. It’s that perfect piece to add a bit of warmth without too much bulk. Plus, it works well when layered over your favorite button-down shirt or chunky sweater.
Anything Floral

I know that there’s nothing groundbreaking about florals for Spring. Sorry, Miranda Priestly. There’s just no denying how perfect the print is for the season. Having a floral piece in your closet is just a must for Spring. It doesn’t have to be a brightly colored dress, but maybe a dark floral top or even just a belt. The print is simply timeless.
Silky Scarves

The last few months have been all about bundling up with large coats and chunky scarves. You don’t have to ditch the scarves fully during these warmer days; just opt for a silky one. One of my local Goodwill stores has a bin full of vintage silk scarves for just $1. I stock up on them to tie them in my hair, around the handle of my purse or even wear them as a beach cover-up. There are just so many ways to rock one!
Mules

Lastly, a good classic shoe for Spring has to be a mule. This style made a comeback a few years ago, but I’d say it’s an absolute keeper for many years to come. Instead of a completely open-toe, which doesn’t work for colder months, an open-back mule can take you through Spring, Summer and Fall.
