Winter dressing is all about staying cozy; which is all well and good, but it means that come springtime, we're definitely ready for an energy boost. This season is all about injecting moments of technicolor into our wardrobe. Think—non-cheesy pastels in the form of asymmetrical silhouettes and two-tone designs, ethereal dresses that double as a hit of serotonin, and actually wearable neon that won't have you feeling like you're going to an '80s theme party.
To stock up on some of these spring outfit staples, we turned to Target. The result? An array of breezy skirts, structured tops, and plenty of flouncy frocks that serve as instant mood-boosters and will get you ready for warmer weather in style. Keep scrolling to shop our edit:
Found: A spring dress you can wear to Easter brunch and pretty much any semi-fancy event you have coming up in your cal.
Pair this satiny midi skirt with a chunky knit to see you through tricky in-between-seasons weather, then wear it with a plain white tee for an easy summer outfit.
Maximalist proportions meet bold color in this highlighter-hued dress, which also features side cut-outs that'll keep you cool right through August.
This cropped tank + baggy, comfy jeans = your way in to the corset revival.
Sure, a button down is a year-round wardrobe staple. But a two-tone pastel one? That definitely screams spring.
For when it's still too chilly to fully give up long sleeves, this off-the-shoulder floral find covers all the bases.
If you need something office-appropriate to bring you out of your post-winter slump, you can't go wrong with a boxy blazer in splashy bubblegum pink.
Between the seersucker print and elastic waist, there's a lot to love about these comfy shorts. They're basically loungewear you can wear out of the house.
If you're a die-hard jeans and a t-shirt gal, upgrade your basics with a tee that has a little more to offer. We love everything about this cropped crewneck, including the patchwork palette and the 3D seam detailing.
Polished enough to wear to work, fun enough (see: side slit) to wear to after-work drinks. We're predicting this bright number is going to be a closet staple.
Complete with pattern-clashing gingham and a frilly hem, this may just be our new fave maxi skirt.
Consider this cotton-blend top the upscale version of a simple white t-shirt: It's just as easy to style, but makes anything you wear with it look dressier by default.
A boilersuit is the ultimate easy-wear piece. Throw on some sneakers or slides and you're good to go for a day of errands.
Even if you pair it with a crisp white button down or a basic tank top, this marbled pastel skirt is guaranteed to turn heads.
We're not saying this chartreuse bell-sleeved top is your sign to throw a Studio 54-inspired party to officially welcome the new season... but we don't see why it shouldn't be, either.
Give your jeans a rest and bring a pair of cargo pants into the mix for when you want to keep it casual.
You can really never have too many ethereal blouses come warmer weather. This pretty yellow one also comes in pink.
Every seasonal closet refresh should include one basic piece you can layer and dress up or down for a variety of dress codes—this slinky midi dress is exactly that.
Put it this way: Your friends will be able to spot you instantly in the line for your favorite brunch spot. Wear this plisse top over a pair of high-waisted jeans for an outfit that looks put-together in no time.
Yes, another mini to add to your collection. This one is made from a midweight fabric that also happens to use 50% recycled polyester.
