TRANSITIONING
your wardrobe from winter to spring
This might be the hardest time of the year to dress for – is it spring or is it winter? The key to success for this unpredictable time of year is creative layering. It relies on combining pieces that will arm you for a day that can go from one season to the next in a matter of hours. Tatum & Olivia has made it their mission to take the stress out of dressing for that in-between period by curating a versatile collection of middle-weight layering pieces. We work in many natural fabrics and often look to merino wool to provide that perfect temperature regulation that is required for a west coast changing of the seasons. It is lightweight and is able to keep you cozy at the same time.
When it is not quite warm enough for just a blazer or lightweight jacket, an artful combination of sweaters and jackets is the key to surviving the next couple months. A Tatum & Olivia favourite is our merino wool button sweater under any of our jackets or blazers – particularly the Bella jacket!
Leggings are another great piece for elegantly transitioning through the seasons … a cute pair of ballet flats, worn with the T&O wool leggings and long camisole, paired with one of our signature shirt dresses and topped with a lightweight jacket, or alpaca poncho is an elegant and effortless way to run your errands in this quickly changing weather.
Colour is another great way to hint at the oncoming warmer season. Stepping away from all black can be an subtle way to refresh your wardrobe. Add a bright scarf, a fun pair of sunglasses, or a colourful pair of flats to your otherwise black outfit to add a splash of spring. T&O played with wine tones and blues in their current collection, making it easy to add that hint of colour.
Introducing lighter weight fabrics like silks and cottons back into rotation is another simple way to hint at the oncoming sunshine. Tatum & Olivia has a number of versatile silk tunics and blouses that would be the perfect transition pieces to fit any wardrobe.
