‘Sun is shining, the weather is sweet’. The season of buoyancy and playfulness is upon us. Let’s enjoy it even more scouting for some new wardrobe pieces. Window shopping, shelf staring or online gazing, all is good so let’s take a look at this season’s inspirations.
A colour scheme for spring sweetly dazzles with subtlety. With candy luscious hues and earthy and chocolaty shades, your wardrobe can transform into a delectable collection. Accessorising with orange, pinks and corals emanates feminity, creating an invigorating cocktail of watercolour.
STAPLES
Coats & jackets
As the sun emerges is small measures, with breezy mornings and nippy evenings, cover up with a classic trench coat. Cliché as it seems, the trench is still the most elegant and versatile ‘city’ staple. Notched lapels create a graceful neckline. Belted styles combine a classic detail with modern edge.
Underneath, nothing better than an expertly tailored number for some office sophistication.
Dresses
Elevate your physique with a forever-classic sheath dress. Curve skimming and ultra flattering. Try a round-neck design with cap sleeves and banded waist for this desk-to-drinks style.
Skirts
A pleated skirt is an indisputable must-have for this season, office or leisure, adding an irresistible charm to your bottom line. Dress it up or down with the switch of a shoe. Team it up with a sleeveless shirt to bring a modern sensibility to your work-wear repertoire.

ACCESSORIES
Sunglasses
Create a sense of mystique and sophistication with a pair of cat-eye sunnies. Classic Ray-Bans or aviators are always on trend and go nicely with cropped trousers and a shoulder bag.
Shoes & bags
With a current debate on high heel policy, one can’t resist the allure of a nude and pointy stiletto. Worth every painful blister, lending a pitch-perfect lift to work-wear separates and evening ensembles. For a daily run to and back from the station, go for classic ballet flats, lined with comfy cushioned insoles…of course.
Looking for this final classy finish?
Think about a functional smart, spacious tote. A sizable shopper can accompany you to work, travel and beyond. The Aspinal Tech Bags are my favourite. They come with an integral mobile phone and iPad battery charger pack, perfect for these off site meetings.
