Style Notes: Leather, be it real or faux, is fast becoming a trans-seasonal fabric. Not only does it look the part, but its heavy-duty nature also means its a dab-hand at keeping the spring chill at bay—this being particularly important when skirting is involved.

Style Notes: It's official—slip skirts are not going anywhere. Instead of wearing them with simple tees as you did during the summer months, wear yours with an oversize knit, on-point boots and a black clutch.

Style Notes: Much like the aforementioned leather, corduroy makes for the perfect spring fabric, as it'll essentially block out the cold without feeling too heavy. Just add a white tee and a pair of ankle boots.

Style Notes: The key to making every outfit look expensive with next to no effort is to adhere to a specific colour palette. Use a punchy knit to elevate a neutral midi skirt to fashionable new heights, and then finish with monochrome outerwear.
