Pack away your puffer and a new-season style to your basket
After what’s felt like a particularly harsh winter, the days are getting longer and spring is finally in sight - meaning fewer layers are required for us to simply step out the front door. That said, early springtime doesn’t always scream ‘warmth’, so clever layering is your secret weapon - and the ultimate layer is the spring jacket. It really does pay to invest in one of these hardworking heroes.
The denim jacket
Hardwearing and forever stylish, denim jackets are stars of trans-seasonal dressing thanks to their capacity for layering. How to dress up a denim jacket? Wear over a long sleeve dress or with a miniskirt and your favourite boots.
The trench coat
Find the right trench coat and it’ll make you feel instantly put together and confident. Look at eternally-fashionable classic belted designs in black or stone that will last you a lifetime, or try this gingham beauty for a bolder take on the look.
The bomber
Our revived love affair with the bomber jacket isn’t going anywhere, simply because they’re so easy to throw on over everything. This spring it’s all about the quiet luxury bomber; whether that’s cosy sherpa-lined or the covetable quilted Barbour.
The suede jacket
Begging to be worn again and again, suede jackets are the wardrobe update you didn’t know you needed. Not only do they feel luxuriously soft, tan or taupe shades are super versatile; dressed down with denim or up with tailored trousers.
The blazer
Nothing beats a blazer for that instant pulled-together feeling. To see you through chillier mornings, look for longer line styles in thicker, wool-rich fabrics. You can’t beat classic dark colours or herringbone in terms of wearability; team with denim and a crisp shirt.
The funnel-neck
The most recent catwalks were full of funnel necklines, a style that comes into its own in springtime. The high, structured neck not only looks refined but gives extra protection to keep the wind out so that you stay cosy.
