Spring Collection

Striped Cotton Knit

Here’s a little more on how to dress for early spring...

Day (and wardrobe) brightening colours

Quilted Spring Jacket

Bright Relaxed Fit Coat

We know you love colour, and the dawn of spring is the perfect excuse to swap wintery shades for much brighter palettes. You’ll still need to wear a coat or jacket over the next couple of months, so try a brightly coloured coat to keep warm. For casual days, choose a jacket that goes with everything: we’ve introduced an early spring version of our bestselling quilted jacket, which you’ll love wearing with a bright knit and your favourite jeans.

Prints to put a spring in your step

Mirage Jersey Wrap Dress

Checked Jersey Infinity Scarf

Another way to make your early spring wardrobe feel brighter is with a new season print. Boldly printed dresses are brilliant for February and March – just add tights and a bright coat – while cheerful printed separates can be styled with warm trousers and knits for the perfect balance of warmth and sunshine. Or, just add a simple printed jersey scarf for a little extra warmth and colour; wear with merino today, and with a jersey top in the spring.

Lightweight layers to keep you cosy

Essential V-neck Tee

Chic Spring Suit

The past few years have seen snow in February followed by balmy Easters, so you’ll need to be ready for anything. The key is to layer lightweight pieces to trap heat; slip a soft merino knit in fresh pastel shades over a quality cotton-rich tee, or invest in a versatile spring suit and layer the jacket over knitted roll-necks or jersey cowl necks. With the British weather being, shall we say, unpredictable, dressing this way is ideal – should the sun finally appear from behind the clouds, you can simply lose a layer or two and soak up the rays. Ah, spring – we’ve missed you so.
