Your Ultimate Spring Style Guide
Spring is often known as the season that brings vibrant colours and refreshing floral scents. It’s the season that celebrates growth, newness and rejuvenation.
For many individuals, this extends far beyond the stunning blooming flora. This season encourages us to reflect upon our lives, declutter, and turn over a new leaf.
In this blog, we bring to you the ultimate spring style guide - one that entails letting go of the old to make room for the new. Fashion with a purpose, if you will.
1. Declutter Your Space
Before any significant wardrobe changes can occur, it is always best to assess what has served you well, and what can be given away for someone else to enjoy.
In this world focused on mass consumption, it is often so easy to fall prey to the over accumulation of goods. This means holding on to clothing that you know you will never wear, or trinkets that you often forget about until you stumble across it again.
However, this spring season, we challenge you to break the cycle of mild hoarding, and purge yourself of items that no longer add value to your life. In the same vein, donating clothes that you no longer wear, means that someone else can get a chance to give them a second life, without it merely ending up in a landfill somewhere.
2. Assess Your Style
Shopping for a whole new wardrobe when you have no idea how to define your style and colour palette, is the equivalent of shopping for groceries when you are hungry - this is dangerous for your wallet!
Take some time to consider your favourite, everyday clothing items. Reflect on the articles of clothing you find flattering for your physique, as well as the colour combinations that suit your skin tone.
Once you have clearly defined that, set out to shop for a wardrobe that complements this overall style, because this will ensure that you have ample items to mix and match throughout the season.
3. Combine Function & Fashion
Thanks to an ever changing fashion industry, we are finally seeing trends surrounding fashion that is functional and most importantly, comfortable. NO more celebrating footwear that pinch your feet, or jeans that are far too skinny, now, we are prioritising comfort all the way!
That’s where our footwear and apparel come in. For ages, Caterpillar has dedicated itself to producing the proper tools for our earthmovers. Following the success of this, our brand extended these efforts to apparel and footwear, ensuring that our earthmovers of today are able to break new ground, and even move the earth if they wish to.
Our Top Picks for Spring
1. For a pop of colour, our Raider Sport Supercharged designs never disappoint. This range is unisex, and available in the colours BRIGHT WHITE/SCARLET IBIS and BLACK/COCKATOO. The cushioned foam footbed and the durable outsoles make this style both comfortable and fashionable - our signature trademark.
2. Alternatively, known for our bright pop of yellow, you know our apparel range made sure to incorporate this! From our Foundation PO Hooded Sweatshirt to our Original Fit Caterpillar Logo Tee you can rock the signature ‘yellow’ our brand is known so well for, this season.
3. During spring, we experience warmer weather, yet the breeze can still often be a little chilly. For this, we recommend light layers such as our Foundation Denim Jacket. The great thing about denim is that it’s not too warm, making it perfect for elevating any outfit.
4. Accessories are a must, and we are loving unisex bags - because everyone needs stylish storage for their personal items! Our mini crossbody bags are perfect for this. Whether you are heading to a fun festival or a walk on the promenade.
