Spring is in the air!
That means it's time for pretty floral dresses and open-toed sandals, but what about casual wear? It can be difficult to figure out exactly how to plan for the ranging temperatures this time of year.
That's why the 3rd hour of TODAY enlisted the help of style expert Melissa Garcia. Garcia suggested casual options to wear all season long — from joggers to jumpsuits.
Read on for her full list of recommendations!
Joggers and Jean Jackets
Long Flight Grey Camo Print Drawstring Lounge Pants, $48, Lulus
Tired of wearing the same jeans every day? These joggers are cozy and stylish. You can lounge around in them, or wear them out for lunch or running errands.
Rumors Light Wash Denim Jacket, $98, Lulus
A good denim jacket is a spring staple. This light-wash style is cute, casual and can be thrown on over any outfit.
Suede Lace-Up Sneakers, $57 (usually $60), Gap
This style of white sneaker is a great everyday shoe. Pair the sneaks with joggers like the ones above, jeans or even a dress.
Crossbody Saddle Bag, $31 (usually $45), Gap
A pop of color is always a great way to add personality to an outfit, especially in the spring and summer. This little purse is functional and an easy way to spice up a look.
Whimsy Anklet, $58, Electric Picks
Anklets are a fun spring and summer accessory that can be worn to the beach or out and about with ankle-length pants or shorts. This colorful option is too cute!
The Isidore Gold Charm Necklace, $30, Lulus
Layering necklaces like this one are perfect for jazzing up a simple top or plain dress.

Beatrice Gold Rhinestone Layered Coin Necklace, $25, Lulus

Shorts and Sweatshirts

A pastel hoodie like this one is perfect for chillier spring nights. It's a comfortable style without looking sloppy.
Built-In Flex Twill Jogger Shorts, $24 (usually $27), Old Navy
These drawstring shorts are made even more comfortable with an elastic waistband.
Puma Men's Astro Kick Sneaker, $46, Amazon
Garcia completed the look with a pair of Puma's iconic Astro Kick sneakers. The dark suede and thick white sole make them the perfect casual shoe.
Bomber Jackets and Tie-Dye T-Shirts
Sneaker Pants, $78, Abercrombie & Fitch
Show off your kicks with a pair of these "sneaker" pants. The cropped style is similar to a jogger, without the tapered leg.
Men's Varsity Bomber Jacket, $40, Target

AE Tie Dye T-Shirt, $20, AE
Garcia paired the look with a two-tone tie-dye T-shirt.
Reebok Classic Club MEMT Sneaker, $44 (normally $65), Nordstrom Rack
Garcia chose to offset powerful pieces like the tie dye shirt and bomber jacket with a pair of plain white sneakers.
Denim on Denim
Light-Wash Built-In Flex Denim Jacket for Men, $52 (normally $60), Old Navy
Denim jackets aren't just for the ladies! Garcia opted for a lighter wash to complement the darker wash of the jeans she chose to style them with.
Men's Skinny Fit Jeans, $28, Target
These jeans from Target fit slim to the leg, so they won't feel too bulky when paired with another denim piece like the jacket above.
Textured Faux-Leather High-Tops for Men, $30 (normally $40), Old Navy
To complete the look, Garcia picked a pair of high-top sneakers with striped detailing.
