These Fun April Outfits Will Make You Look Forward To Dressing Up

Last April, perhaps you spent the majority of the month indoors trying to master the Renegade dance on TikTok (no judgment). This April, you’ll be able to get back outdoors again. The spring weather has finally decided to show up — and, what better way to ring in the new season than through your attire? Read: It’s time to start pulling out your floral dresses and linen shorts once again. But, if you're in need of some inspiration, consider relying on creative April outfits to help you look forward to dressing up.

If you’re one to keep your off-season clothing in storage, April is the perfect time to make the swap. Of course, you have to take into account those rainy, cold days that linger around during the month. So, you won’t want to pack away all your rain gear, jackets, and knits quite yet. But, this also allows for the opportunity to test out unexpected styling tricks. For instance, you can layer a sweater vest over a linen matching set for extra warmth. The new season also means new fashion trends to try out. Consider a few easy-to-recreate runway looks from Spring/Summer 2021, such as the dress-over-pants look shown at Jil Sander and Peter Do, or the revealing-your-bra styling trick displayed at Chanel and Victoria Beckham. Additionally, color-clashing was a trend shown on the catwalks at Stella McCartney and Tod’s, and now IRL by your favorite influencers.

No matter what the weather and your agenda entail, you can rely on playful looks to lift your spirits. Below, find a range of 30 creative ensembles to wear all throughout the month.
