The flowers are blooming, the birds are singing, the daylight hours are lengthening and winter coats are no longer necessary. Spring has arrived in all its glory putting a literal spring in our step and bringing a fresh perspective to our wardrobe.
After months of donning multiple chill-repelling layers, the warm spring air has us ready to shed that heavy outerwear and slowly start making our way towards our light and breezy summer wardrobe using our spring sartorial selections as a season and weather-appropriate stepping stone on the pathway there.
Admittedly though, after months of dressing to stay warm it’s hard to recall how to dress for spring – what did you wear this time last year? It’s hard enough to remember what you wore last week, let alone last year.
Last year’s spring looks aside, spring dressing also presents a wardrobe challenge from a temperature variation standpoint. It’s a tricky trans-seasonal time that can range in one day from cool in the morning to warm during the day and cool again at night. There’s also the spring showers to contend with, requiring a spring wardrobe that can handle sudden downpours and shoe-drenching puddles effortlessly.
But, as luck and fashion would have it, there are a number of essential staples that fit the spring dressing bill as well as pieces that when paired together provide the perfect spring wardrobe edit.
From a versatile classic trench coat to an on-trend midi skirt that can be paired with a sweater and sneakers on cooler spring days or a T-shirt and kitten heel for warmer days, we chart the items every woman should have in her spring wardrobe.
Scroll on to see how the street style set (and one royal) do spring dressing with these staples and start planning your purchases to fill any wardrobe gaps in your spring line-up during Vogue Online Shopping Night, kicking off at 6pm on October 22 and running through to 6am, October 25.
