There’s something about warmer weather that makes us want to refresh our wardrobe. But, while we love to look trendy while out and on the go, fashion isn’t all about looks, as walking outfits for spring should also be comfortable (and practical). This is especially true if you’re planning on being outside for extended periods of time to enjoy the nice weather, take the kids to extracurricular activities and get your steps in while you wait for them, or work out outdoors.

It can be difficult to find walking outfits for spring that strike the right balance of beauty and comfort. After all, you want to feel good while also looking good! To help give you some fashion inspiration, here are some tips and outfit combinations that we know you’ll love this spring.

If you’re looking for a laid-back walking outfit, this combo is it. Having an oversized tee makes this a super chic and casual look (bonus points if you make the oversized shirt a cool graphic tee). But the biking shorts add structure (and they’re stretchy, so they’re comfortable for any type of walk). 

Ultra High Rise Leggings

A pair of leggings is a wardrobe staple for practically any type of occasion. For spring walks, they’re easy to wear with a variety of different types, from supportive sports bras to cozy, crewneck sweaters. To make the look a bit more up-to date, skip the ankle socks and wear them with high crew socks instead.

If you’re looking for an alternative to leggings, wide-leg pants are the new go-to option. It elevates the look, which is great if you want to hit up a cafe or restaurant while you’re out. But you still want to be comfortable on your walk, so look for materials made with stretchy and breathable fabrics. Wear it with your favorite ribbed tank, and you’re ready for whatever you have planned for the day!

There are so many options out there, from matching sweatpants and a tee to linen pants and a flowy tank. This is one of our top hacks for creating a clean, cohesive look that you can wear anywhere.

A fitted jumpsuit is an easy, all-in-one option that can easily be worn on your spring walks. It’s stretchy and flexible (which means it’s comfortable to wear), but still modern and stylish for running errands or grabbing coffee. And most importantly, you won’t have to fuss with putting together a whole outfit, as it’s already a trendy piece on its own!

Retro Shorts and Long Sleeve Tee

When it comes to walking outfits for spring, this combo is going to be huge this year. Retro shorts are making a huge comeback, especially the ones in bright and bold colors. To keep the look balanced, we recommend wearing them with a clean, white tee or a plain colored long sleeve. This way, your outfit will look sporty but still effortless and intentional!

Skort and Tank

Not all athletic wear has to be leggings or shorts. You can add a bit more femininity to your spring walk with a skort. It flows like a skirt but has the protection and comfort of built-in shorts! Pair it with a colorful tank top for a festive spring outfit that’s both practical and perfect for the season.

A Runsie

If you’ve never heard of a runsie before, then get ready for it to be your new go-to walking outfit. It’s essentially a one-piece outfit designed specifically for sports. It has the compression top of a sports bra and the airiness of running shorts. That means it’s super supportive and breathable for keeping you cool in warm weather. 

Cropped Sweatshirt and Capris

We’ve seen lots of capri-type sweatpants this season. They’re ideal for the transitional weather for spring, as they’re warmer than shorts but still breezier than long leggings. For the finishing touch, we recommend wearing the capris with a cropped sweatshirt for balance. Or you can swap it for a cropped zip-up hoodie and a cute tank or sports bra underneath!

  • Wear breathable fabrics: This is important for warm days or walking workouts where you’ll be building up a sweat. 
  • Add layers: Temperatures can change throughout the day, so having a light jacket, sweater, or other layers you can take on and off is key.
  • Invest in good shoes: You won’t go very far on your walk in bad shoes. Having comfortable footwear is one of the most important factors when choosing your walking outfits for spring.
  • Choose outfits you’ll actually wear: If you feel good in your clothes, you’re way more likely to get outside and go for a walk!
