March is well and truly a breath of fresh air. We’ve turned the corner from winter, and that means our wardrobes are no longer weighed down by inclement weather, and in turn, heavy-duty garments. Though the cold still rears its head, it can’t dampen the joy that comes from March outfits. They’re lighter, more considered. They aren’t merely a stack of fabrics to get us from one building to the next without freezing. They still consist of layers, yes, but they’re nuanced. We’ve traded in our long wool coats for a more delicate leather versions perhaps. Puffers have been exchanged for cropped trench coats, nylon jackets and bombers. Knitwear can be worn on its own. We can finally play with open-toe shoes once more and break out our favourite trainers.
There is so much to love about the month that brings us spring, which is why we’re celebrating with some of the best March outfit ideas. I know, for one, that you have to approach these longer days with tenderness and caution. It’s not fully time to put away boots and jackets with cold snaps and rain storms lurking, however, it’s the season of the trench and the lightweight cardigan. It’s the moment when white jeans can shine again, and the time for embracing lighter layers. The following outfits show that it’s more than possible to merge your seasonal wardrobes into a transitional blend that’ll support you all month.
In these looks, skirts get paired with cropped trenches, trainers and baseball caps make the perfect laidback duo and leather coats get styled with white trousers for just the right amount of contrast. Scroll on and discover the careful balance that March outfits know how to do best.
Chic Outfits You’ll Want to Wear All Throughout March:
1. Suede Coat + White Jeans + Mary-Janes
Style Notes: Whilst white denim season is upon us, I’m also not ready to retire my leather jackets and dark-toned coats. Annabel’s look is the best of both. Combining a soft suede trench with the brightness of white jeans creates a look that’s flawlessly balanced. This is one I’ll be wearing long into spring.

2. Cropped Trench Jacket + Skirt + Loafers
Style Notes: Trench coats will forever have a place in my wardrobe, but perhaps you’re like me and sometimes crave a twist on the classics. That’s exactly what Grace has curated here. The springtime icon is certainly present, but its cropped cut and funnel neck make it feel renewed. The poplin skirt and loafers (plus tights) are ideal for cooler days, but it’s an easy outfit to adjust based on temperature.

YSL
Le Loafer Supple in Matte Leather
These loafers are one of the best investments our team think you can make. Don’t believe me? Read why here.
3. Leather Jacket + Barrel Jeans + Pointed-Toe Heels
Style Notes: Barrel is one of those silhouettes that completely shook up the jean sphere, and I’m so here for it. The cut is eye-catching in the best way and is a perfect tool for experimenting with different shapes and proportions. The cinched-waist leather jacket on Hannah also feels seasonally relevant, as it looks a little less like our thick, bulky layering pieces from the season earlier.

4. Blazer + Satin Skirt + Kitten Heels
Style Notes: When you’re at a loss for ideas staring into your wardrobe, look to Ingrid’s elegant outfit. A blazer and slip skirt will forever be a reliable pairing. You can elevate it, as she’s done, with kitten heels, or add loafers or trainers for a slightly more casual option. The black-and-white colour scheme is also inspired and eternally classic.

5. Baseball Cap + Polo Knit + White Jeans + Trainers
Style Notes: When it comes to fun weekends and spring outings, I’ll be pulling up this look, courtesy of Dawn. A polo knit, white jeans and a baseball cap all feel emblematic of this season to me. It’s laidback, yes, but still feels sophisticated, toeing into the territory of subtle luxury.

6. Statement Trench Coat + Black Jeans + Cinch Bag
Style Notes: When we’re still wearing a few layers, I often find that leaning on a statement coat, as well as shoes and bags that stand out against your outerwear, is useful for showing your style. A trench with a scarf, a statement belt over top of a coat or a bag in an interesting shape all bring your personality to the forefront, as Debora shows here.
