Winter to Spring Clothing Transformations to FinishTheLook

As the seasons change, we all face an inevitable fashion challenge: How do we transition our beloved winter wardrobe to spring? This question about what makes a great transitional wardrobe leaves us staring blankly at the inside of an empty closet while all our clothes are strewn across the floor. We have no idea what to do with all the items we bought when temperatures dropped, and honestly, we don’t want to stop wearing these warm and cozy purchases. I mean, look at how cute all these Finish Line goodies are! Who would want to give them up just because the sun’s coming out more than usual? We certainly don’t, and we’re willing to do whatever it takes to make them last year-round.

Fortunately, there are plenty of fashion hacks out there that will help us upgrade our look. Using our favorites from Finish Line, and a few simple tools you probably have in your home, we were able to get our winter wardrobe ready for spring. With this in mind, an over-sized tee can easily become a dress (with pockets!), a holiday-red skirt can become an off-the-shoulder number, a pair of leggings can become a crop top, and your cozy hoodie can become a skirt. These transformations might sound like magic, but they’re actually super easy. And the best part? They’re super fashionable, too, and will easily go with a classic pair of sneaks like the Adidas Sleek.

Easily turn that over-sized T-Shirt into a stylish spring look. 

We love a good over-sized T-shirt. They’re the perfect cozy staple we always make sure to have in our closets! Need a cute (but also comfy) spring look to enjoy the warm weather in? Turn that over-sized tee into a cute dress!
