As we leap into spring with renewed purpose and positivity, there’s always heaps of excitement with the notion of getting a much needed style update for the new season.

Injecting your wardrobe with fresh bursts of colour and new styles to lift those lifeless items we wore to death in the winter months is one that we all welcome with a smile. With so much choice, where does one start to invest in the right key pieces without blowing the budget? Here’s my handpicked edit to give you a head start…

The Timeless Trench

£85, River Island

Invest in a timeless trench coat that will look chic for all occasions. The Trench Coat this season has been restyled focusing on cinched in waistlines, asymmetric lines and disproportioned features. We love this trench coat from River Island as it has double lapel collar and tie belt to cinch you in at the waist giving it a super feminine feel.

Lilac to Lavender

£20, Oasis

Pastel sugar coated candy shades dominated the Spring Summer ’18 fashion shows but Lilac was definitely the most prominent. It’s not a colour that you will instantly put down on your wish list but I assure you that it will bring freshness and femininity. This simple sweater with an eye-catching texture is a classic way to wear and introduce this colour effortlessly.

The Midi Skirt

£29.99, Zara

Pencil skirts are back but take note of the midi length! We love a statement skirt that will boost your wardrobe basics and this one from Zara is no exception – it has all the elements to making it a fabulous key piece for spring. Burst with joy when you learn that you can make it formal for work, sassy for an evening out and paired down with sneakers for a lazy Sunday afternoon. Oh so versatile.

Indigo Hour

£95, Reiss

Lets face it denim is a key staple in anyone’s wardrobe but it can become dull, dated and dreary to wear. Let yourself fall in love with a new style to keep your denim collection up-to-date and introduce a modern twist with the warmer weather in mind. Ditch those skinny jeans and introduce a cropped wide-leg style in a dark denim wash to give you a new sense of adventure.

The White Shirt

£98, AllSaints

A white shirt is essential when it comes to building a stylish capsule wardrobe. It’s a fantastic piece to wear all year round and style up for different occasions. We favour this oversized shape giving many possibilities of how to wear it. It’s masculine, feminine or whatever you want it to be!
