Flutter with Me: Butterfly Outfit Inspo for Spring

Butterflies for spring … my current favorite trend! Some of you may remember, but last year was deemed as my “Butterfly Year”, AKA a year of self transformation, so it thrills me to no end that this theme has found a way to “flutter” on into this spring season! 

Today on the blog, I am going to be sharing some top designers creating inspo for this trend from the top, along with some butterfly outfit inspo (in a much more affordable range).

Trend from the Top: Designers Embracing Butterflies for Spring

The butterfly motif hit the runways hard in 2022, hinting that come spring 2023, the pattern would be everywhere. From Chanel to Oscar de la Renta, Michele to Alice + Olivia, let’s take a look at some of the designers that brought this Y2K trend back to the mainstream.

Butterfly Patterned Items for Spring: Outfit Inspo

Look 1: Babydoll Dress in Butterfly Print

Outfit Highlights:

The Dress: How FUN is this blush babydoll dress?! The same pattern also comes in a maxi, and it is so affordable you should buy one for now and the other for vacay.

The Bag: This adorable handbag is an Amazon find I can’t quite get over. It’s so perfect for spring and summer!

The Shoes: I mentioned these shoes in my white jeans article less than a week ago, but I am currently crushing on these ribbon laced espadrille sneakers. These SHOES! They remind me of the Chloe ones for a fraction of the price.

Look 2: Preppy and Bright

Outfit Highlights:

The Shorts: Bright and bubbly shorts that are thigh friendly for summer? Say less. I love the vibrant pattern on these – they are butterfly inclusive without being so obvious.

The Shoes: These CUTE sandals are under $20 and also come in white (click here to shop the white). You are welcome in advance.

Look 3: Butterflies on a Budget

Outfit Highlights:

The Dress: This fun dress could be layered under a denim jacket, worn on it’s own, or even serve as a coverup during your next lake trip or beach vacay.


The Shoe: I love the wooden detail on this espadrille wedge! Such a classic wardrobe staple from a great, reputable brand.

Look 4: In the Details

Outfit Highlights:

The Belt: How FUN is this butterfly belt? Such a simple little detailed touch that will amp up any outfit.


The Shoes: I love a good statement shoe. If you’re one of those people who wears mostly black or white year round, these bright shoes are just what you need to add some color to your closet.

Look 5: Subtle Signs of Butterfly

Outfit Highlights:

The Top: This Lilly butterfly printed top is so subtle but also so cute. You would get so much wear out of it! Layer it for work or pair it with jean shorts for a casual day.


The Watch: I am crushing hard on this watch. The butterfly design on the face is flirty and discrete (also comes in silver – click here to shop the silver option).
