What is it about spring that makes us completely forget how to dress? Winter’s only just behind us, but summer still feels a long way away. We can’t wait to see the back of our winter coat for another year. But we’re not quite ready to pack away our jumpers.
We don’t need as many layers. But stepping out the front door without a jacket could end badly. And we’re certainly not ready to bear too much flesh.
We’re with you. You’re ready to switch things up, but aren’t sure how to juggle between two wardrobes. Luckily, you don’t need a top-to-toe overhaul to nail your springtime look. All you need are a few key pieces to give your wardrobe a fresh new look and feel.
Oversized gilet: An in-between staple
When it’s only a bit chilly outside, a puffer is too much. But the puffer’s lightweight cousin could be just the thing. Giving you just the right amount of warmth, it can be layered over knits, sweatshirts, long-sleeved tops, or even tees (imagine!). This padded vest gilet by Vila is quilted, hooded and long-line. Zip it up and the funnel neck will keep you super cosy on those slightly chilly days. Or wear it open as the weather starts to get milder.
Slinky slip skirt: Midi length, maximum impact
Midi skirts are an easy, breezy way to blend your winter and spring styles. Pair with tights and chunky boots to stay warm when you need to. And it will look just as good with a plain tee and trainers when the temperature starts to rise. This bold print skirt by Paul Smith has a lot going for it – wrap-around design, adjustable belt, and floral elegance. Or for a more casual look, team this Calvin Klein logo midi skirt with trainers and a hoodie.
Overshirt: The cool weather lifesaver
Part shirt. Part jacket. What did we do before the overshirt? It’s versatile – can easily be worn over any outfit. And it’s stylish – and we mean style without the effort. This khaki zip-up overshirt by HUGO will make a great addition to your spring wardrobe. Wear on its own or over a simple tee shirt – like this one by BOSS Menswear – and with jeans for a co-ordinated cool weather look.
Sweatshirt: Spreading comfort and joy this spring
Any sweatshirt will ease you away from winter, into spring and on towards summer. But maybe you don’t just want any sweatshirt. When you’re thinking about blue skies on a grey day, add a pop of colour to your wardrobe with this men’s classic crew neck sweatshirt by Lacoste. It has a soft cotton-rich blend, fleece inner for added comfort, and will shift any lingering winter blues away.
Meanwhile, this women’s velour zip-through hoodie by Barbour International will elevate your loungewear to new levels. Is it time to update your sweats collection? Build your spring wardrobe around key pieces and enjoy a versatile look this season. Shop our range of spring must-haves today.
