SXSW/Spring Break Outfit Ideas!

As March approaches we’re starting to get excited about both the South by Southwest music festival, here in Austin and spring break! These two occasions call for fun, free spirited clothing that is stylish and without being too heavy or fussy. Luckily, we’ve picked some looks for you to save you some time!

Here at Longhorn Fashions, we can’t get enough of rompers; they’re perfect for throwing on quickly over a bathing suit or layered with a cute bralette. One of our favorites, the Mint Romper, is perfect for SXSW when paired with our Beige Floppy hat and cute leather booties. The open back detailing and lightweight silk make this romper lightweight and breezy; ideal for a day spent outside in the hot Texas heat!

If bright florals are more of your style, this open back sundress is an adorable music festival look! The bright colors in this shift are perfect for the hippie-chic look that is always popular at music festivals, and the open back makes this dress light and flirty. Paired with booties or sandals and a flower crown or floppy hat and you’re good to go! For double duty, throw this dress on over your bathing suit as you go to the beach this spring break.

Perfect for this bohemian babe, this double-strapped dress is effortlessly chic and ideal for South by Southwest. The lightweight, gauzy fabric will keep you cool all day long, while maintaining your laidback vibe. Paired with sandals or cowboy boots, this look is feminine and delicate while remaining stylish and flattering. To mimic the double-straps, we recommend finishing the look with two different length dainty necklaces.

Are you a local Austinite that is proud to show off your hometown roots? If so, this next look is for you! Our comfy “Local” shirt paired with these fun tie-dye shorts are a perfect combination. Paired with our Black floppy hat and sandals, this look is chicly monochromatic and playful.

Combine a lightweight tank with brightly colored, tribal print shorts, and you’ve got one of our favorite festival looks. This whitecutout tank is perfect for warmer weather as it is lightweight and airy through its paneling. Paired with printed shorts, this look is youthful and chic while remaining comfortable and effortless. Pair this look with a long pendant necklace and bright coral purse for a winning combination!

Perfect for SXSW and spring break double duty, this silkymaxi dress is great for staying cool and while looking hot! This dress is ideal for a day at Zilker Park listening to music when paired with a floppy hat and booties; and looks great over a bathing suit or at dinner during spring break. The bright colors in this dress make it perfect for your tropical vacation, and the cut of this dress is universally flattering. Regardless how you style this piece, you’re sure to feel comfortable and stylish all day long.

Sweater Weather Recommendations

There's something about October that makes us want to throw on a sweater and cuddle up with a warm drink. Despite it still being warm in Texas, we're putting together our favorite sweater-weather combos for you to enjoy! 

Our first option is a little more warm-weather appropriate than your typical chunky knit sweater! We paired our go-to burnt orange camisole with our cream, open front sweater. The fringe detailing makes this sweater fun and playful while the open knit keeps you cool while it's still warm. This tassel necklace ties in the fringe of the sweater perfectly! We'd pair this adorable combination with dark skinny jeans and brown boots or booties!

Once it gets a little cooler outside, you can bet we'll be wearing this adorable grey sweater with leggings and boots! The sparkle in this necklace adds a little glam to this super cozy pairing! Plus, you can pair this sweater with a little burnt orange tank to tie in a little school pride all winter long!

Incase you want another excuse to wear burnt orange, in addition to game day, this combination is for you! Pair our simple tank top with this warm Aztec sweater, jeans or leggings, and our gold beaded gem necklace for a cozy and cute combination.

Unfortunately we can't wear burnt orange for every occasion, so for those days we have more adorable sweaters for you to rock! We love the pops of color in this grey sweater as it's the perfect way to keep your cool days bright. Pair this super soft piece with dark jeans and a neutral colored top to keep this combination playful and cohesive!

Cool and casual, that's how we'd describe our next combination! The cool blue and grey tones make us ready to snuggle up in this cozy piece! We paired this sweater with one of our favorite white shirts and our essential golden Texas necklace! 

This fresh combination of orange and periwinkle is a new favorite of ours! The pops of color with the tribal print make this combination youthful and fun! To finish off this outfit, pair it with either leggings or jeans, simple jewelry, and knee-high boots!

We can't get enough of this turquoise and coral color combination! The bright accents remind us of warmer months, while the charcoal base keeps it neutral overall. To add a little humor and playfulness to this outfit, we threw on our extremely comfortable Texas t-shirt and Texas necklace! To keep this outfit cohesive and comfy, we'd pair this combination with leggings and boots!

Regardless of the weather, we're incorporating sweaters into our day-to-day outfits! Be sure to stop in store or online to find your next go-to knit!
