The spring runway shows this year were full of ruffles, pastels and lace. These shows are often a good indicator of what styles the wider population will be excited about in the coming year, and so it makes sense that all of these pieces fall into a feminine aesthetic! And just in time for warmer weather, too. Spring is the perfect opportunity to lean into soft shades, flowy skirts and dresses, and fun accents like lace trim and ruffled skirts. Keep reading for spring outfit inspiration you can recreate this season with 19 feminine spring outfits.
1. crewneck sweater + white jeans + neck scarf + earrings + flats

Spring is a great time to break out your colorful pieces! If you’ve been sticking to neutrals all winter long, it can be fun to start mixing in some soft shades to liven up your wardrobe for the new season. Pastel greens, pinks, yellows, purples, etc. are all a perfect place to start. And the great thing about these soft tones is that they’re easy to mix and match in one look.
Start this first outfit idea with a sage green sweater and a pair of white jeans. White or light-wash jeans are the perfect complement to spring colors. Next, introduce your next color with a pale pink neck scarf for a Parisian touch. Cream ballet flats, a salmon color bag and timeless hoop earrings complete the ensemble.
2. pink sweater + polka dot skirt + ballet flats + basket bag + necklace

Another trend that we saw walking down the runway for this season? Polka dots! This playful yet classic pattern is ideal for your spring outfits. The feminine look has been popularized by some of the most well-known fashionistas in history. Try it out with a polka dot mini skirt and a pink sweater for a 1950s-inspired look.
Next, add a pair of red ballet flats for an extra pop of color. The bows on this pair give another feminine touch! Finish the look with a heart pendant necklace and a basket bag.
3. pink top coat + white tee + light wash jeans + leopard accessories

For many of us, spring can still be quite chilly. If you’re not out of the woods when it comes to needing a coat, try finding one in a spring color. Your coat serves as your first impression when you’re wearing outerwear, so it will help you stand out in the best way!
The light pink coat is the star of the show, so keep your layers underneath simple. Pair a white t-shirt with wide-leg or straight-leg jeans in a light or medium wash. Then, accessorize with a leopard print pair of loafers and a coordinating bag.
4. pink sweater + white jeans + neck scarf + flats + earrings
sweater | jeans | scarf | earrings | shoes
Light pink is having a moment, and it’s perfect for feminine spring outfits! Start this look with a crewneck sweater in the trending shade. A thin sweater will give you coverage without being too warm as the weather starts to shift.
Next, add a pair of white jeans. White jeans are one of our favorite staples at MCO for your spring capsule wardrobe – they go with almost everything. Then, have some fun with patterns. Accessorize with leopard print ballet flats, a floral neck scarf and a pair of gold hoop earrings to add depth to your look.
5. pink t-shirt + floral skirt + earrings + tote bag + slingback heels
shirt | skirt | shoes | bag | earrings
Speaking of bright pink, when the weather does warm up, you can swap out your long-sleeved sweaters for short-sleeved versions to get the same soft look without the unnecessary warmth. Then, switch out your jeans for a floral midi skirt. This particular style is great because you could pair it with so many different tops – florals give you a lot of different colors to work with when it comes to styling.
A raffia or woven tote gives this look texture, and those summer picnic vibes. The florals on the style above are the perfect feminine details! Add a complementary pair of woven heels, and you’re ready for a lunch date somewhere outside in the sun.
6. white midi dress + scarf + basket bag + hoop earrings + sandals

A white midi dress is another one of our favorite capsule wardrobe pieces for spring and summer. The midi length is perfect for a flattering look that won’t have you worrying about a wardrobe malfunction as you’re out and about. Plus, the puff sleeves on the choice above are a great statement detail to set this dress apart! The ruched bodice is another flattering detail that will highlight the smallest part of your waist.
Stroll your local gardens in style by accessorizing with a matching scarf to wear in your hair, a pair of leather sandals, a woven basket tote and a pair of classic gold hoop earrings.

When in doubt, try a tonal look in your favorite spring shade to make getting dressed in the morning a breeze. Light pink is perfect if you’re going for a feminine style. Layer your bright pink topcoat over a pink tee, with pink sneakers (I’m in love with this pair of Gazelles, they might be going on my own wishlist!).
Add interest to your look with leopard print accessories. At MCO, we treat leopard print as a timeless neutral! Finish the look with a wide-leg pair of jeans. The cuff on the bottom is a fun touch, and allows you to show off your colorful shoes.
8. polka dot dress + headband + ballet heels + red lipstick
Looking for feminine outfits for date night? You’ve come to the right place! A polka dot mini dress gives you the perfect flirty, retro vibes. Black and white is one of those sophisticated color combos that will never go out of style, and is perfect for a timeless aesthetic.

Pink and green are complementary colors on the color wheel, which makes them the perfect pairing for your spring outfits. You’ll also find these colors abundant in spring nature scenes – think fresh florals and gardens! It makes sense why these colors are so pleasing to our eyes, especially as the weather warms.
Start your look with a bright white pair of jeans and a pink sweater. Hint: make sure your jeans have no holes or rips if you’re going for a softer, feminine vibe. Next, add a khaki green trench coat. This shade is nearly a neutral, and will also pair well with navy, light purple, brown, light yellow, etc.
Use the sandwich method to select your shoes. The sandwich method is essentially matching your top to your footwear for a balanced look. Then, reincorporate the earthy shade of green into your look with your work tote. This is the perfect outfit to wear for casual Friday this spring.
