These are the 12 spring staples that every fashion lover has lying in their wardrobes

Written by Naomi May

From suits to slacks, these are the style set-approved staples that promise to freshen up your spring wardrobe. 

Ah, spring. Now that our eyes – and minds – are bleary from playing Wordle throughout the bleak midwinter and our legs are stationed firmly in three layers of leggings thanks to the plummeting temperatures, it’s time to try to focus our attentions on the next big seasonal occasion.

While summer can (almost) be relied upon to provide lashings of sun and al fresco dining and winter provides the optimal time for stylistically and literally snuggling down, spring is a sartorial no-man’s-land, neither here nor there thanks to its temperamental weather. 

A case in point is the past couple of weeks: the skies have given us snow in April (yes, really), torrential rain and sleet in-between bursts of glittering sunshine (no, not a joke). Not only does this play havoc with our minds, social lives and skin, but it tips our sartorial prowess into total disarray. 

Fear not though, for a spring-ready capsule wardrobe is all it takes to keep the in-between weather fashion demons at bay. A wardrobe requires more hardy pieces during transitional months than it does during any other period in the year, so ensure your arsenal is up to scratch with this round-up of springtime staples that every fashion insider relies upon (you can thank us later).
