Spring is always a difficult season as it is warm enough to ditch the winter coat but the cool wind will make you regret going out simply wearing your new flowery blouse. Things get worse at weekends or everyday if, like me, you have to deal with your kids on their forever lasting Easter holidays. Well, your goal is to compose comfortable yet not frumpy outfits. The bottom line is that you certainly don’t want to be looking like you just raided the dirty laundry basket or that you have signed up to a never-ending yoga retreat. No more lockdown excuses please. Bring on the Spring fashion looks!
Spring Fashion code: choose pastel colour knitwear
Pastel colours are synonymous of Spring and brighter days. They lift the mood and they are so flattering. A lovely pastel cardigan goes perfectly with a pair of blue jeans. My selection below is from Des Petits Hauts.
Pastel hues to lift the mood
Opt for a waxed or leather biker jacket
Not all waxed jacket are synonymous with “Cotswolds essential” or “countryside basic”. It all depends on its cut. Biker jackets are always a winner because they are feminine yet trendy. The fitted style is flattering without being uncomfortable. It makes the concept of layering much more appealing and elegant.
By day, the multi-pockets of the waxed jacket are always handy if you are, like me, juggling with your keys, telephone and little hands to hold… By night, leather biker jackets are perfect to “break” a very girly outfit.
Don’t forget to accessorise
If you want your outfit to look unique, just choose accessories that are personal. It can be a belt, a pair of earrings or simply a lovely scarf. Being elegant and cosy has never been so easy…
