Clothing for welcoming spring
Short answer: Spring shifts between sunshine, wind and showers, and the mornings are often cool while the afternoons can turn warm. Choose light layers you can take off and put on, and fabrics that feel fresh but still hold a little warmth.
Moody weather needs flexible clothes
Spring weather can change from hour to hour. You can start the day with frost on the window and end it in shirtsleeves. That makes layers the best strategy. Think in three steps: a light layer closest to the body, a shirt or jumper on top and a jacket you can carry in your bag. That way you can adjust however the day develops, and you avoid carrying around clothes you do not use.
The shirt as the basic piece of spring
A soft shirt is an obvious choice for spring. It can be worn alone on warm days, over a T-shirt on cooler days and under a jacket when the wind picks up. See bamboo shirt for women if you want a shirt that feels light and soft. Choose light or fresh colours if you want to mark that winter is over, or stay with neutral tones if you want something that combines easily.
Trousers that are not too heavy
After the thick fabrics of winter it is nice to wear light trousers. A pair of soft, airy trousers suits both work and everyday life and is comfortable when sun and cold alternate. See bamboo trousers for women if you want a pair you can move freely in. Check that the trousers are not too short if the wind is still cold around the ankles.
Rain and showers
Spring showers often come without warning. A light rain jacket in your bag is cheap insurance. Clothes made of viscose from bamboo are not waterproof, and they are not meant to be. They do dry reasonably quickly, however, so a small shower does not ruin the day. Keep an umbrella in your bag and bring an extra pair of socks if your shoes are not waterproof. Then you are ready whatever the sky has in mind.
See the whole range
When winter loosens its grip, it is nice to look at what is available for a new season. Under bamboo clothing for women you will find different types of clothing gathered together. Go through your wardrobe and see what you need. A couple of new light layers that suit what you already have, and that can be combined in new ways, are often enough.
Care after winter
Before you pack the winter clothes away, wash them and let them dry completely. Air the spring clothes if they have been in the wardrobe for a long time. Wash viscose from bamboo at 30 to 40 degrees according to the label, and skip fabric softener. Let it dry flat or on a hanger. Then the clothes are ready when the first truly mild day arrives, and you can welcome spring without searching for something to wear.
