Spring is a time for relaxing and taking in the beauty of nature. The appropriate wardrobe can help you make the most of your spring days. With a little thought to style and color, you can choose the perfect casual skirt for wear throughout the spring and summer seasons.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

    Shop For Casual Skirts

  1. Step 1

    Select a silhouette that will allow you to move in order to make the most of your sportswear ensemble for spring. It is best to avoid skirts that are overly long or tight when making selections for your casualwear wardrobe.

  2. Step 2

    Choose a fabric that looks and feels good. Casualwear is not the place for stiff taffetas or stuffy woolens--choose linens, cotton twills and gauzes instead.

  3. Step 3

    Pick a style that is playful, such as the skort or a miniskirt, for casualwear this spring. Events where casual dress is appropriate provide you with the perfect opportunity to show a little skin while you enjoy the atmosphere of spring.

  4. Step 4

    Shop for skirts in colors that are indicative of the season. Lighter shades such as pastels and candy colors are the perfect choices for the spring months, leaving the dark colors of winter behind and leaving room for the full blossoming of vibrant color in the coming summer.

  5. Step 5

    Pick out coordinated separates to create a put-together spring casual look. Though you should not attempt to match each item, skirts, blouses and sweaters in complementary colors will help you look polished for even the most casual of events.

  6. Accessorize Your Look

  7. Step 1

    Keep accessories such as jewelry low-key. Leave the bracelets and layers of necklaces for more formal occasions.

  8. Step 2

    Wear shoes that will be both comfortable and stylish with your casual spring skirt ensemble. Ballet flats and strappy low sandals will help you look at ease and fashionable at the same time.

  9. Step 3

    Choose legwear to match your skirt for spring, especially if you live in a cooler climate. Patterned stockings or leggings will allow you to wear lighter skirts even when the spring weather turns cold.

  10. Step 4

    Invest in at least one trendy spring accessory to keep your casual look current each year. This could be something as simple as a scarf, a purse or a belt.

Tips & Warnings
  • A casual appearance does not necessarily mean ease of care in all garments. Care for your fine linens and cottons properly by hand-washing and line-drying these more delicate materials.
