When it comes to spring looks that we wear over and over a white t-shirt and jeans look immediately comes to mind. Sometimes the combo can get a little stale so I'm always looking for ways to bring it to the next level. Enter this cool spring outfit idea from Brittany Xavier—It's elevated yet super easy to pull off. All you need is sleek cat-eye sunglasses, a structured black blazer, a white t-shirt, distressed jeans, and black ankle boots.

A Casual-Cool Take On a Cardigan and Jeans Look for Spring

One of my favorite combinations for a casual-cool spring outfit involves a cardigan and jeans. This season, I plan on wearing a neutral cardigan with rectangle sunglasses, a sleek chain necklace, my favorite Boyy bag of the moment, straight-leg jeans with a '90s feel, and fashion-forward fisherman sandals. I'll top off the ensemble with a barely-there beauty look featuring the new Merit lipstick (shade depends on my mood).
