This is how I make a fall-leaning outfit work in spring. This look started with a light blue Fair Isle–style sweater. Fair Isle usually reads very winter or holiday, but the lighter color shifts it immediately — it feels fresher and much more wearable as the seasons change. To keep it from feeling too heavy, I layered a longer pink tank underneath. That extra length adds coverage, but more importantly, it breaks up the outfit visually. You could get a similar effect with a belt, but I liked how the softer layer lightens the overall look and keeps it from feeling too structured. On bottom, I went with light green khaki cargo barrel pants. The slightly oversized, cropped fit paired with the wider barrel leg creates a really good shape with a sweater like this. On me (6’3”), these hit right at the ankle — which I actually like. It feels intentional, especially when styled correctly. Because of that ankle length, I finished the outfit with a taller Chelsea boot. The lug sole adds structure, but the suede keeps it from feeling heavy or overly rugged. They’re waterproof, comfortable, and quickly becoming a go-to pair. I was a little cautious about the cargo barrels and tan boots leaning too military, so that’s where the lighter, Scandinavian-inspired sweater and soft pink layer come in. They balance the outfit and make it feel more spring-appropriate without losing the structure. For reference: I’m 6’3”, wearing a size medium ] on top and size 6] on bottom. This is one of those outfits that works because the colors and proportions are doing the heavy lifting. When transitioning seasons, do you swap colors first or silhouettes?
