Spring has sprung, which means we’re officially in our “Romantize Everything” era. Between the cherry blossoms and dogs in raincoats, it can feel like we’ve stepped into the title sequence of an early 2000s romantic comedy. But before you make your own cute date a reality, you need to plan *that* spring outfit. One that would have approved of Jenna Rink, Emma Morley or Andie Anderson. So who better to draw inspiration from than the heroines on screen themselves?
While romantic comedies are hitting our screens in ways they haven’t been in years – thank you, Everyone But You! – our favorite characters from the ’90s and Y2K also wore looks that work just as well in 2024. Leather jackets, LBDs, cotton candy pink suits – hello, main character! And while we’re romanticizing things, here’s a spoiler: She and *that person* in the bookstore cafe live happily ever after. But right now you’re just a girl standing in front of her closet looking for something to wear. We’ll take it from here.
While there is admittedly more romance and less comedy, we couldn’t help but include this sweeping, sweeping love story. Ambika Mod delivers a heartfelt performance as Emma Morley and provides some stunning looks throughout the decades. Copy the most eye-catching outfit as seen on the promotional poster with a sunny yellow top, straight-leg jeans and combat boots (ideally waterproof for spring showers).
The romantic comedy, which caused quite a stir on social media, turned out to be extremely adorable – and full of major fashion inspiration. Sydney Sweeney killed all of her wedding guest attire, but our favorite look was this floral set that transitions seamlessly into summer. For breezy spring days, complete the look with an oversized cardigan.
Check this out, another romantic comedy starring Glen Powell! If you haven’t seen “Set It Up” yet, be sure to check it out while you add Zoey Deutch’s casual spring fashion to your cart. Bonus points if you combine horizontal and vertical stripes with your sweater and button it up.
If 13 Going on 30 sells you a lie about adult life, you may be entitled to financial compensation. Seriously, we should all express our inner child in exactly the way this film encourages this spring, because there’s no better time to don Jenna Rink’s signature bright pinks and greens than now. Cardigans are everything this year and we love the monochromatic light pink look that Jennifer Garner rocks in this scene.
If you have a wedding on your calendar this spring, you simply have to channel the energy of Andie Anderson in her famous yellow dress. It’s the perfect butter yellow color that’s on trend this spring, but there’s also nothing quite as classic as *this* dress. You’re basically guaranteed to get that McConaughey-level oomph in this outfit.
We’ll go into some deeper cuts here, but if you haven’t seen Jennifer Aniston in Picture Perfect, you’re in for a treat. Jen plays a young advertising executive trying to impress her boss by pretending to be engaged to a man she just met, and her style in this film is absolutely impeccable, as evidenced by this gingham dress.
