15 Spring Fashion Staples To See You Through Warm Days And Cold Nights

If the weather isn’t quite letting us hide away our knitwear yet, opt for brightly coloured, oversized jumpers and cardis. Pair with a leather mini skirt or drape over a floaty maxi dress to keep that spring feeling.

Our autumnal dresses didn’t get many chances to make an outing last year, so rework them for the coming warmer months. A tartan maxi dress paired with layers of colourful beaded jewellery and chains, plus a bright patterned bag feels just as right for spring.

This trend came in hard and fast last year, with all the fashion major players wearing them across our feed, but let’s not abandon the knitted vest now good weather’s approaching. Worn over dresses or crisp shirts, it’s the ideal transeasonal knit.

Head-to-toe denim is an all-year-round outfit guarantee. When you’ve ditched the woollen coat and gloves, pair your light-wash and white denim with pastel separates or a silk scarf instead.

The blazer is a classic transitional piece. The pale pastel green and gold jewellery paired with bright white handbag and mini heels, gives this a fresh spring look compared to the usual autumnal take on the item.

As soon as we’ve seen the back of February and March, the temptation to ditch the tights is strong. Show off bare legs in shorts and chunky knits, or opt for a longer skirt to ease you in.

Colour your pick to match the rest of your outfit for a tonal look in bright or spring-appropriate pastel shades. If you want to up the outfit wow-factor, mix your prints for a truly open-armed welcome to spring.

With all the lounging we’ve been doing lately, a hoodie or sweatshirt has never been too far from reach. Whether it’s a grey marl classic or emblazoned with a slogan, drape it over your shoulders or tie it around your waist when the temperature rises.

They say your head is the first place heat leaves your body, so don’t pack away your beanies or berets just yet. For a more spring-friendly option, give the bucket hat a try.

If you’re itching to dust off your summer dresses before we make it to the sunny season, pair them with your favourite chunky leather boots, in the meantime. The stomper that hits at mid-calf goes well with both maxi and mini dresses alike.

A simple way to take your denim from winter to spring is to swap an old pair of jeans for shorts that sit just above the knee (if you’re feeling very brave, you could dabble in some home DIY and cut them yourself). Then substitute in crop tops and sandals for trainers and jackets, weather permitting.

After the dark, dreary months we've just had, it’s time to let our skin see some much-needed sunlight in shoulder-baring tops and dresses. Have a jacket at the ready, draped around your arms to conquer those very sunny but equally windy days we've been getting so much of lately.

Sure, we've slowly been storing away our heavy-duty coats, anticipating their use becoming obsolete very soon (please), but this is where the trench rules. The high street have lots of new options flowing in, but equally, Ebay and Depop are great for vintage designer finds, like the iconic Burberry styles. Opt for khaki or classic beige to complement your spring pastels.

The ideal item for layering when the weather can't make up it's mind, hold on to your thinner roll neck tops so you can pop them underneath summery blouses with big puff shoulders and billowy sleeves. Extra springtime points for bright colours.

Transitional dressing is all about layering and mixing materials. Match cotton crop tops with your longer leather jackets, or wear thicker crochet or ribbed knitted vests with a light short-sleeved blazer or baggy shirt.
