5 Spring Looks To Embrace Now

by Emma Menteath, Editorial Lead

With spring tempting us for the last few weeks with bluer skies, flowers blooming and ever-so-slightly longer days, so are our wardrobes beckoning us to a fresh start. So, while the year has just begun, and we know it’s still cold outside – and most likely to get even colder – it feels right to start thinking about new season updates.

From floaty dresses and pretty blouses here’s 5 spring looks to update your wardrobe to take you from winter drab to summer fab.

1. A Belted Mac

We can’t be the only ones that are tired of wrapping up in same coat we’ve been wearing all winter long. We know it’s probably too early to start embracing lighter layers, but we can’t help ourselves. Like this belted suede-look mac, the perfect lightweight coat for spring in a soft stone colour. Layered effortlessly over a paisley printed smock dress with knee high boots for that inner-city look.

2. Layer With A Blazer

While 2020 is still a strong year for dresses, suiting has started edging its way to the tops of our shopping lists. Whether you prefer your blazers tailored or slightly oversized, paying homage to the eighties, there’s no denying the versatility of owning one. For an Insta perfect look this spring, style your blazer with bootcut jeans and a floaty blouse. Complete your look with a western inspired belt and a pair of boots.

3. Lightweight Leather

Previously we may have associated leather looks with films like the Matrix or James Dean in Rebel Without A Cause, but with the leather-look becoming more accessible it’s become a new season must-have. Try adding one statement piece to your spring wardrobe, like the coated leather-look lightweight jacket. Style with jeans and boots for a chic finish. Who knows, maybe this leather-look trend will be the new double denim?

4. The Statement Print Dress

If there’s one new item you add to your shopping list this spring let it be the printed midi dress. If you’re like us, you’ve most likely been wearing your favourite midi dress all winter long with chucky lace ups and a teddy coat. Freshen up the look this spring with a new print for less than £30. For a slightly elevated touch, but not too overdone, add a western belt and buckled ankle boots.

5. Delicate Detailing

Delicate detailing takes centre stage this spring and makes it hard for us to resist. Feminine and romantic, we opt for simple updates on our wardrobe basics. Like our puff sleeved collared blouse, the ultimate desk to dinner top. Style with denims and nude heels for brunch with the girls or toughen it up with a leather-look mini skirt and boots.
