Spring has sprung! We are SO ready for longer days, spring blossoms, and our favorite layering pieces - made of cotton, of course. Dressing for chilly mornings and warmer afternoons can be difficult, but styling light layers like poplin button downs, corduroy shackets, and lightweight cardigans, makes heading outside a breeze. Cotton is breathable, which means means you can layer pieces on for cooler mornings but won’t overheat on sunny, midday walks.
Our favorite cotton fabrics for spring are quilted cotton, thermal knit, denim, chino, and gauze just to name a few.
From collectable classics to fashionable finds, check out our handpicked spring favorites in fabulous cotton fabrics below.
Remember to check the label for cotton when shopping for new and pre-loved items, and click here for more cotton fabrics great for spring.
