The season change can sometimes be overwhelming but it can also be the perfect time to update your wardrobe or add those items you feel like you’re missing. Classics are the ones to invest in to maximise your wardrobe with pieces that will last forever - easy looks without the challenge. Keep scrolling to discover my sartorial wardrobe pieces to add fresh inspiration into your wardrobe just in time for spring.

Leather Skirts

It’s no secret that the midi skirt is having a spotlight moment this season so you’ll have to be quick with this piece. Providing the perfect opportunity to tap into a current trend whilst investing in a wardrobe staple for years to come, with the air still having a chill, leather is the perfect option to add class and warmth to any outfit. It’s the perfect day to night piece - equally wearable to the office or out in the evening paired with heels and a bodysuit for a dramatic edit. A high split is all the rave and adds a seamless detail when approaching this season must have item without taking the trend too far. Leather looks better with age, so the longer you keep this staple in your wardrobe, the better it’ll look. Both versatile and timeless - I’m already planning on ways to wear this skirt all year round.

Trench Coats

If you are wondering what outerwear to add to your wardrobe this spring, I would always recommend a trench coat. When it comes to outerwear, a trench coat is a springtime icon - a key timeless staple guaranteed to elevate any outfit. Pair with wide leg trousers & a t-shirt for a simple laid back look or style up with your favourite knit dress & heels for a lightweight layer. With the unpredictable weather one thing you can always count on is a trench coat. If this is your first trench purchase, tan and beige tones are favourable due to their versatility and I guarantee they will go with 90% of your current wardrobe. This particular design can also be worn three ways, is there anything better than a timeless piece that’s also multifunctional? Think about the endless outfit choices you could have on a city break with just one piece. Once you invest in a trench coat, it’ll be in your wardrobe forever.

Blazer & Waist Coats

It’s time to lose the thick coats and show off our blazer collection. Spring is all about light layering and what better way than with a tonal two piece. There’s no outfit that can’t be improved with the addition of a blazer. Even with the most basic white t-shirt and trousers the blazer has the ability to simply and easily elevate any outfit without being too formal. The best thing is both pieces can be worn separately & still have a major impact on any outfit. Picture the waistcoat with white linen trousers, your favourite sandals & a woven bag for the summer days. With endless combinations, don’t be surprised when you see me wearing this combination all spring and summer.

Linen Dresses

Every wardrobe needs a linen dress. Your go to. The one which covers every event and your last-minute hero. Breathable and lightweight linen dresses are essential to any wardrobe. The tie belt provides a soft tailored silhouette and whether it be casual or dressy this dress has got you covered - a low maintenance choice that only requires you to think about your footwear and accessories is always a winner for me. Dress up with heeled sandals and gold accessories for a classic summer outfit or dress down with chunky sandals & a woven bag when heading into town. Linen also sits extremely well with other materials so layering with a trench or denim jacket will look perfect when the temperature drops in the evenings.

Suiting

Tailoring is something that grips me every year and a matching suit is at the top of this list - an empowering wardrobe staple. There’s something so beautifully simplistic about a tailored set. The high-quality fabric and collarless design provide an immaculate tailored fit. A worthwhile investment, a staple suit will take you all the way from your first interview through to the light summer evenings. Comfortable to wear and incredibly versatile with an accessory switch. The tie waist detail gives a sleek feminine spin when paired with heeled sandals and gold accessories or remove the belt to dress down with a pair of white trainers & vest. The wide leg trouser isn’t going anywhere this season and is the key piece to perfect the off-duty look. With the ability to elongate the leg they will mix perfectly with your everyday essentials. Understated but effective.
