Nothing says spring like open-toed footwear and bright colors. Layering in the springtime is a great way to stay comfortable and keep your outfit ready for any weather changes. While you can layer different apparel to stay warm, you can also layer different textures, patterns and pieces. Your personal style plays a key role in every outfit, from your hairstyle to your nail color.
