Simone Ashley's Spring Jeans, Jacket and Flat-Shoe Outfit Is So Perfect, All Stylish Londoners Will Copy It

Stepping out for an afternoon of appointments in London, Simone Ashley crafted a spring-ready ensemble that I can only describe as perfect.
A masterclass in springtime layering, Ashley adapted to the rising—but still chilly—temperatures by styling up several lightweight layers to keep her look cosy and comfortable without adding extra bulk. Beginning with a white T-shirt, as, in my opinion, all of the best outfits do, Ashley layered a short-sleeve Prada V Neck Wool Sweater (£900) overtop, allowing the bright white layer to peek out beneath. Keeping her base looking bright and fresh whilst prolonging time between washing your knits, this clever styling trick is one that the London style set employs on the daily.
Building from there, Ashley selected Prada's Double-Breasted Grisaille Jacket (£2650). Ensuring warmth across the crisp spring day, the light grey layer also worked to add structure and polish to her off-duty look without overcomplicating her styling.
Completing her outfit with light-blue jeans with a slight barrel-leg cut—another trend I see being worn daily in the capital—her look ticks off more major trends than I anticipated at first glance. For her final flourish, Ashley then reached for the city girl's favourite shoe, smartening up her jeans by styling them with a glossy pair of leather loafers.
Favouring elevated wardrobe staples such as blazers and loafers, Londoners are known for their knack for making these smart garments feel relaxed and chic. Typically pairing their formal loafers with relaxed jeans and their boxy blazers with casual knits or tees, Ashley's outfit spoke directly to the London style set, who I'm sure will be emulating her look very soon.
To make it easier to re-create, I've shopped out the key components for you below.
