Whilst there are those who dream of baking summer days, and others who long for the crisp chill of winter, spring is my favourite season. Now it’s not just because I’m an Aries baby, and therefore the countdown to my birthday can begin, but the exciting styling possibilities that this in-between season offers. With the milder weather, we’re called upon to play with layering in a more thoughtful way than winter requires. We can mix in our sunny-day skirts with the cosy knits we’ve relied upon for months, or make the most of our wardrobe heroes that serve us throughout the year. Truly, the new season is a chance to be inspired, explore what we have, and mix in new-in styles that we’ll be rewearing throughout the warmer months, too. And as I simply can’t wait for it to begin, my dream spring wish list is already well underway.
The appeal of spring is in its versatility. Now is the time to ease floaty dresses back into our wardrobes ahead of the summer months, pairing them with a light jacket or cardigan as the temperatures break free from single digits. Alongside, if you didn’t secure a reliable knit jumper over the winter months, you won’t have to wait until the end of the year to reach for it, as even through the warm spring days, this can be draped around shoulders for a chic edge. Our winter heroes aren’t relegated to storage just yet, as reliable styles like wide-leg tailored trousers and forever denim continue to make their mark throughout the season, paired now with simple t-shirts and loose-fit shirts, rather than the endless thermal layers of previous seasons.
Already our favourite brands from high-end to high street are offering up fresh spring collections, brimming with contemporary silhouettes, timeless staples, and a dash of colour to reflect the incoming brighter days. As ever, the longevity of any new addition is key to our shopping habits, and each piece offers a timelessness that can either carry through other seasons, or be relied upon year after year, making the most of your investment, great or small.
