Spring is here and there's love in the air. Well, we think it's love ... maybe it's just hay fever. In any case, the season provides an ideal backdrop for date nights and weekend outings, doesn't it? Don't pass up the opportunity—the warm (but not too hot) weather and blossoming foliage automatically sets an easygoing, romantic tone. Of course, this is a transitional season, so let your wardrobe do the same with a few adaptable essentials.

Layer up with some lightweight pieces and come prepared. That means a cool cotton jacket over a boxy tee and relaxed yet rugged pants offset by a pair of loafers that you can slip off when you curl up on the blanket you so cleverly packed in your tote. Whether you're sipping wine on a sidewalk or planning a secluded picnic, you'll want to look good but feel relaxed. These pieces help you do just that. And don't forget to finish things off with a nice fragrance with crisp, verdant notes.
