Tube tops are great for layering, and I especially love this one from UNIQLO. It features a built-in padded bra, so you don't have to wear a bra with it! Black and white are great staples to have.

A crisp white button up is perfect for your year-round capsule wardrobe, and it's great for layering during the fall and winter. Wear it buttoned up with a cool pair of trousers or layer it over a cropped tank with jeans!

This cutie cardigan from UNIQLO is one of my favourites, and it comes in a bunch of colourways now! It looks great open or closed, but I personally love wearing it closed and layering it over other pieces.

Spring is still a lil' chilly, so you can still get away with wearing oversized sweaters. The Cocoon Crew from Everlane is one of my all-time favourites. Just be sure to dry clean or hand wash it very carefully – I shrunk my previous one in the laund...

Hoodies can actually be stylish if you dress them up properly. And even if you just pair them with matching sweatpants, they can still look cute! You can't go wrong with a grey hoodie, but black hoodies look chic with any outfit as well.

Spring may lean on the cooler side, but on warmer days, you can sport linen pants. They'll transition great into summer as well!

A good pair of blue jeans are a must in everyone's closet, and the Levi's 501 is one of my favourite denim styles. You can't go wrong with a high waist and straight leg style!

I'm obsessed with slip dresses because they're so versatile year-round. Layer it under a denim or leather jacket, or wear it over a basic tee. I actually own this slip dress in 3 colours because I love it so much!

Pleated midi skirts are another timeless staple to have, and they fit so well into a spring wardrobe. Pair it with an off-the-shoulder knit top or throw on a chunky oversized sweater!

Of course, if I'm obsessed with slip dresses, why would I not be obsessed with slip skirts as well? Aritzia makes this slip skirt in a mini, midi, and maxi, and I especially love the maxi version for a little variety from the midi slip dress. You can...

A stylish pair of sneakers is a must for your year-round wardrobe, especially for the spring months as the weather transitions into warmer weather. I love the look of the New Balance 990v5 sneakers with any outfit!
