SPRING is here and if you are trawling through your closet desperately in search for a weather appropriate outfit, but to no avail then we are here to help.
Spring dressing can be difficult, as it can be quite balmy and still cold, but these essentials are all you need.
Even if there are blue skies, and blossom on trees, there can still be a breeze, so layering is always a great idea so you can regulate your body temperature.
However, spring dressing doesn’t necessarily mean waving goodbye to parka jackets and thermals.
Our best plan of attack is to build a capsule wardrobe, now it’s time to tailor it to the Spring season, and it only requires a few tweaks.
Swap your insulated jackets for more lightweight designs, such as a denim jacket, bomber jacket or mac.
Or swap out your leather wide leg trousers for a floaty midi skirt, or the latest on-trend denim design, which has given us major 90s inspiration.
A pair of white trainers are always a classic all year round, particularly in spring when it’s not quite sandals weather.
Other layering items, such as a lightweight cardigan, crochet jumper, or sweatshirt, and blazer are winning formulas, as you can wear all together for warmth, or tie your sweatshirt around your neck and over your blazer for when the sun’s out.
Of course, it’s time to introduce the all-important sunglasses too.
We have curated the most stylish essentials for the perfect spring wardrobe, which you can add to your existing clothes collection if you have these pieces already, or start from scratch and start investing.
A denim jacket screams spring/ summer, because it is lightweight, and super versatile.
A denim jacket can be oversized, fitted, cropped, and a whole host of different dyes too, so you can one in every colour, although our preferred variation is an oversize light blue denim.
Wear over dresses, pair with jeans, even shorts, simply anything, for a lightweight, yet durable layering item come the warmer months.
Midi skirts have been on our radar for quite some time, in particular bias satin cut styles.
We have long worn the midi length chic skirt, both day and night, but now it’s time for the return of the maxi variation.
A maxi skirt was a hit circa 2010, and over 10 years later it’s back with a bang – and we are not complaining.
A maxi skirt in satin, or even the latest trend, which is a denim maxi skirt, is all we can talk about, and they are perfect to dress up or down to suit all occasions.
We will never get sick of a crisp white t-shirt.
We have plenty of the go-to basic, but you can never have too many, in our opinion, as they go with everything.
M&S’ designs are a hit as they are made from 100% cotton, as part of the brand’s Better Cotton Initiative, plus they are super affordable priced at under £10.
This t-shirt style comes in a total of eight colours, but the white has been sold over 100 times in the last 48 hours, so that is saying something.
Just like a white t-shirt is a wardrobe must-have all year round, a linen shirt is a failsafe garment for the spring and summer months.
Come the summer we live in linen shirts, as they are lightweight, breathable, and the perfect throw on for those who want to feel a little more covered up.
Throw loosely over a tank top and shorts, or a dress, even jeans, for a laid back look.
New Balance trainers are soaring in popularity, with sales for the footwear soaring.
The 550 style in particular are the ones to shop for, especially in the classic white and grey colourway as they will complement every outfit.
These trainers can be paired with jeans, in particular wide leg jeans, or combat trousers, jeans, and even skirts and dresses.
A trench coat is another absolute essential when shopping for a spring wardrobe, as it acts as a formal layering item you can pair with anything, and it instantly elevates any look.
The trench coat is perfect for heading into the office, as well as to weddings, christenings, as it is a little more luxe looking in comparison to a denim jacket.
Spring days can be blustery and summer evenings can see the chill set in, so be prepared with a sweatshirt or a crochet jumper, even a crochet cardigan, just in case particularly in the early mornings and evenings.
You can wear over a cami or t-shirt, and then when you feel too hot, simply tie loosely around your neck, or waist, to keep out of the way.
A chic black blazer is a failsafe wardrobe essential you will live in every season, year in and year out.
The relaxed Single-Breasted Blazer is a chic number to elevate any look with ease, and can take you from day to night in a second.
Style with smart trousers, jeans, or even wear over a dress for any spring occasions, such as a wedding or christening.
You can pair with anything to take you from the office, a shopping spree to evening drinks all based on how you style it.
Wear done up, cinched in with a belt for the evening, loosely layered in the daytime, or just draped over your shoulders.
When you can dig out a pair of sunglasses you know summer is on the way.
We love a square frame as it makes our faces look more feminine and petite, but this style has the added detail of a slight cat eye for a bit of character.
When it comes to sunglasses we also love tortoiseshell as it is a little softer aesthetic, in comparison to a harsh black, yet still goes with every outfit.
We love a midi dress when it comes to the spring and summer months, as they are super easy to style, simply slip on and go.
You can dress them up or wear casually with trainers or sandals for an everyday look.
Nobody’s Child is the place to head to when shopping for dresses, as there are plenty of designs, styles, and colour variations to shop to brighten any wardrobe.
A bomber jacket is the latest fashion trend, everyone is raving about in particular the cropped bombers from Zara with exaggerated shoulder detail.
However, oversize bomber jackets, such as aviator designs, are also hugely popular for right now too.
They provide a little extra warmth and protection from the elements than a denim jacket and trench coat, and are ideal for days, or dinners, out.
Complete the look with an on -trend pair of New Balance trainers.
