Spring jackets that everyone needs

I know the temperatures haven’t exactly been Spring like these past couple of weeks, but it will get there eventually and one of the hardest things to nail is finding the perfect Spring jacket. I get asked it every year by clients to find what will be the best jacket to keep you stylish when you can (finally!) pack your coat away.

One of my many wardrobe tips is to invest in a number of different jackets as a jacket can really change up an outfit. From a super casual denim jacket, to a cool leather biker, right through to the on-trend trench coat, anything and everything goes, just make sure you have a couple to hand so you can try a few different looks with the same outfit.

The transition from Winter to Spring and even Summer still requires quite a bit of layering in this country, and making the switch over from heavy Winter coat to lighter styles feels transformative. And while we are still freezing cold whilst braving it in a pub garden right now, it pays to be prepared for when that switch in temperature happens, and it will!

Whilst not every style suits every body shape or colouring there are always go-to styles that you are rely on. For me there are six key styles that dominate the season ahead. From the update on the shacket that you can start wearing now, to the overhauled denim jacket that's sticking around, get inspired by some Spring jacket shopping.


TOP 6 STYLES FOR SPRING


  1. Denim jacket


2. Printed jacket


3. Trench coat


4. Biker jacket


5. Shacket


6. Blazer


7. Short jacket

5 outfits to bring you out of lockdown stylishly

Edits-25.jpg

You may still be living in joggers, activewear and anything else that is comfy, but the end is in sight and how are you going to dress as lockdown starts easing? Little did we know a year ago that we would still be in a lockdown but at least this time there’s a bit more hope on the horizon, so now is the time to start planning what you will be wearing in the coming weeks when you diary will finally be filling up.

There are many things we have all missed out on over the past year but in the coming weeks the temperature will increase, Spring has truly sprung with the evenings getting lighter so there will be more of a need to start re-wearing items in your wardrobe. So I have put together 5 outfits for possible things that you might be looking forward to doing (not just trips to the supermarket), things that perhaps 2 years ago were just part of our normal lives but now are slightly unsure of how to dress for them now.

It’s ok to feel anxious about coming out of lockdown, whether it’s worrying about what to wear, how to dress appropriately and how to get inspired about clothes again. Take a good look at what you have in your wardrobe, assess what you have, try things on and get to know your clothes again, this way you will understand whether you need to add some bits in to make new outfits or not. If you feel that lockdown has pulled you into a style rut, I hope these outfits give you some inspiration but if you need more help then please do email me for a chat.

My Spring Fashion Fix

AW20 wishlist (3).jpg

Back in Autumn I had challenged myself to update my transitional Autumn wardrobe with 5 new pieces, using my Fashion Fix service. Identifying key items that I wanted and needed to transition from Summer into Autumn and when I look back now those items I brought have been worn time and time again and I will continue to wear again this Spring. Now it’s Spring and I have repeated the same challenge (admittedly I have gone 1 over by buying 6 items), to introduce into my wardrobe and style in the coming weeks.

Now is such a great time to reassess what you have in your wardrobe mainly because we are changing seasons but also because we are starting to come out of lockdown. For a whole year now there had been no need for anything but comfy outfits or outfits to walk in, but like a butterfly we will all start emerging and utilising more of our wardrobe when we do. Take some time out to pop your Winter jumpers away so you can really see what you have in your wardrobe that you are going to wear in the coming weeks. This gives you a chance to detox what has perhaps been sitting there for months and gets you thinking about some newness you my need.

As there is still alot of uncertainty about re-emerging right now you might not need alot of new pieces which is why my Fashion fix of 5 pieces to update your wardrobe is a great fill in for your style needs. Let me inspire you by showing you what I have brought and how I have been styling the new pieces.

Christmas day style inspiration

TYXS9533.JPG

There are some big question marks over Christmas this year, as office parties and group gatherings aren't on the cards, and the restrictions will make Christmas week look a little different than usual. December is usually a time for back-to-back socialising but after a difficult year, your family and friends bubble will be the most important thing about Christmas for many this year. 

Seeing as we won't have parties to dress up for, one thing we can start thinking about is our Christmas Day outfits. Whether you'll be celebrating with Zoom calls or with friends and family at home, the below ensembles will make you feel a little special, whatever you have planned. People have very different ideas about what a Christmas Day outfit should look like. Some dress up in dresses and sequins, while others have a strict "pj's only" policy. Whatever your stance is on the December 25 dress code, I’ve got some outfit inspiration to suit every occasion.
