March is, probably, the most complicated month of the year stylistically. In the morning you need a coat, at midday everything feels like too much, and as the sun goes down, it gets chilly again.
The big question of "what clothes to wear in March" is not solved by changing your wardrobe all at once, but by learning to play with layers and transitional fabrics. Forget about very thick garments, but don't put away your coats just yet. The key for 2026 lies in mixing textures and betting on a color palette that brightens up but remains sophisticated.
What is fashionable in March? The keys to transitional weather
March is a month where fashion seeks functionality. Garments that allow you to adapt to the thermometer without losing style are in. We are talking about coats and women's jackets rich in texture (like shearling or herringbone) worn open, wide trousers that add movement, and the strategic use of some accessories.
Regarding the trending colors of the month, we leave total black behind. March calls for light, more light through earth tones, beige, chocolate, olive green, and the infallible navy blue, which are the absolute protagonists.
5 look proposals to wear in March
If you don't know what to wear this month, at Rivera Spain we present 5 infallible formulas from our lookbook that will solve any doubts you have about what to wear as soon as you get up.
1. Texture play: corduroy and "Teddy" coat
This look is the perfect definition of chic comfort. When the day dawns cold, nothing beats the visual warmth of a shearling texture coat (Teddy) in ecru tones.
Look with corduroy trousers and coat.
Why is it perfect for March? Because it combines the light of white and beige with the warmth of corduroy. The wide camel corduroy trousers add that rustic and relaxed touch that is so fashionable, while the white shirt illuminates the face. It is an ideal look for a weekend walk or a morning of errands where comfort is a priority.
2. The power of the herringbone coat and the dark base
If you are looking for something more urban and stylized, the "column of color" formula never fails. Dressing in a single dark tone underneath like this navy blue blouse and trousers set instantly stylizes the silhouette.
Look with long coat and monochromatic base.
The master touch. Breaking the monochrome with a long herringbone coat in earth tones. This type of coat is perfect for March because it has presence but is not visually as heavy as a puffer jacket. Add a braided belt to mark the waist and lace-up boots to give it a more youthful and all-terrain air.
3. Midi dress and XL scarf for a bohemian touch
Who said dresses aren't worn in March? The trick is to choose a fabric with body and combine it with tall suede boots that protect from the cold. This olive green dress is a key piece for transitional months due to its versatility.
Look with midi dress and XL scarf.
The star accessory for this month. In March, the scarf is not an accessory, it is a necessity. A large printed scarf not only keeps your neck warm, but lifts the entire look. The cloche or fisherman type hat adds that point of trend that differentiates those who know about fashion.
4. Wide trousers and knitwear, the best look for the office
To go to work in March, we need to remove layers easily if the heating is high or if the sun comes out. This look proposes the classic but renewed layering: white shirt peeking out from under a grey knit sweater.
Look with wide trousers and knitwear.
The key to a perfect look: trousers. We leave skinny jeans behind and bet on a palazzo trouser or wide trousers in burgundy. It is comfortable, drapes beautifully when walking, and combines wonderfully with the grey of the sweater. A long vest or a knit garment on top finishes off a sophisticated and very practical set.
5. Winning combination: different ranges of earth tones
If there is a winning bet in fashion for the month of March, it is opting for garments with pure lines, without logos, where the quality of the fabric speaks for itself. This monochromatic look in the range of browns and taupes is pure elegance.
How to wear it. Combine a satin dress or long skirt in chocolate brown with a coat in taupe. The mixture of textures creates a super visual look. A crochet or chunky knit bag adds that artisanal touch that we like so much at Rivera.
The secret to dressing well in March is betting on quality fabrics
To dress well in March, check the composition of the garments. Look for blends of cotton, viscose with body, or cool wools. They are materials that breathe and accompany you throughout the day without overwhelming you.
Ready for the wardrobe change? Don't be afraid to mix. March is the month to experiment, layer garments, and enjoy fashion with freedom.
