I've Been Planning My Spring Wardrobe for Months—These Are the Pieces I'm Into
Some dream of baking summer days whilst others long for the cosiness of winter, but spring is my favourite season. Now, it’s not just because I’m an Aries baby, and therefore the countdown to my birthday is now on, but it's more about the exciting styling possibilities that this in-between season offers. The milder weather encourages us to play with layering in thoughtful ways; we can mix our sunny-day skirts with the cosy knits we’ve relied upon for months and make the most of the wardrobe heroes that serve us throughout the year. Truly, the new season is a chance to be inspired, explore what we have and add some new-in pieces that we’ll be wearing throughout the warmer months, too. And as I simply can’t wait for it to begin, my dream spring wish list is already well underway.
The appeal of spring is in the versatility it brings to our wardrobes. Now is the time to ease floaty dresses back in ahead of the summer months, pairing them with a light jacket or cardigan as the temperature breaks free from single digits. And if you're not quite ready to say goodbye to your reliable knit for the rest of the year, you can still drape it around your shoulders for a chic edge. Similarly, our trusty wide-leg, tailored trousers and forever denim continue to be useful throughout the season, paired with simple T-shirts and loose-fit button-downs rather than the endless thermal layers of winter.
Already, our favourite brands from high-end to high street are offering up fresh spring collections, brimming with contemporary silhouettes, timeless staples and a dash of colour to reflect the incoming brighter days. As ever, the longevity of any new addition is key to shopping sustainably, and each piece on my list has a timeless quality that can carry through every season so that it can be worn again and again, year after year.
Keep scrolling to explore my spring 2024 wish list.
