On snowy days like these, it’s hard to believe spring is less than a month away! If you’re over the big coats and thick layers, just hand in there — you’ll be shedding those soon. Plus, a new season means fresh trends and a revamped colour palette.
In honor of Black History Month and to get us excited for the upcoming season, we’re turning to five Black fashion for some serious fashion inspiration. Let their unique looks, spring layering tips and sharp eye for design set the tone for your spring wardrobe.
5 Black Creators We Love for Fashion Inspiration
1. Karen Blanchard
Of course, this OG street style blogger is the perfect source for spring fashion inspiration. Karen Blanchard, aka Karen Britchick of the blog Where Did U Get That, has timeless style but isn’t afraid to make a bold statement — like this voluminous skirt in a refreshing green hue. The colour is as invigorating as sorbet on a spring day, and paired with a cropped black top – something you probably already have in your closet. If you decide to recreate this look, consider wearing a base layer under the skirt in the morning to avoid any chilly breezes. You’ll love wearing a buttery pair of our Staple shorties to stay warm and, even better, chafe-free on that first spring day perfect for skirts.
2. Clarke Peoples
Clarke Peoples is a TikTok star and style trendsetter who effortlessly rocks both colourful ensembles and monochromatic looks. This all-black outfit is perfect for spring — the off-the-shoulder-top is a classic, yet feels so refreshing after a winter of bulky sweaters. A subtle sliver of midriff hints that warmer days are on the way. Pair this look with a longer cardigan or leather jacket once the sun sets. For extra coverage and comfort, you might want to add a thin pair of leggings under your skirt. Our sheer Cooling leggings are lightweight with a comfortable waistband and help prevent chafing — perfect for wearing with a maxi skirt.
3. Marie Zoumanigui
Whether posting from her home base New York City or a tropical destination, Zoumanigui always does it with impeccable style. Take a cue from her and add a pop of red-hot colour to your spring wardrobe with a fun trench coat. Pair it with classic pieces like blue jeans and a black top, but let the coat add that extra flair. Red is still on trend this season and a great way to stand out in style. After months of dark colours, something fiery feels like the perfect breath of fresh air.
4. Dev Walker
A travel influencer with a great sense of style, Dev Walker’s account is a must-follow for anyone who loves colourful ensembles and vacation-ready outfits. From the sunny shores of Antigua to the snow-covered plains of Finnish Lapland, Walker is always traveling in style. Her feed is also a great place to discover Black designers like Kai Collective, Andrea Iyamah, Bruce Glen and more. Whether you’re looking for fresh resort wear ideas or just want to add a burst of colour to your spring wardrobe, this is the place to be.
5. Peigy Styles
Rocking a signature pixie hairstyle in every hue imaginable, Peigy Styles is a stylist and fashion maven you’ll want to follow this spring. Her account is full of skirt inspiration for the warmer months, plus bold colour combinations like oxblood and powder blue, as seen in her reel above. New York City serves as the backdrop for many of her stylish outfits, you’ll also find her in Italy, Colombia and Bali, with a vacation wardrobe to match every destination. Follow her for accessory inspiration — especially sunglasses, stylish looks with plenty of leg, and to see what colour her hair will be next.
