Spring is upon us and the new season collections are finally starting to line the shelves of our favourite stores.
From an ever so slight rise in temperatures to blooming buds and new beginnings, springtime is full of transformations but, for the sartorially obsessed among us, it only means one thing: it’s time for a wardrobe revamp.
While you might be tempted to undergo a complete style overhaul at the first sign of sunshine, the changeable British weather in April means it isn’t a necessity just yet.
Instead, we suggest buying a few new items that can be layered up now and worn on their own in the months ahead.
Luckily, the high street is bustling with plenty of new season buys right now but, with so much on offer, it can be tricky to know where to start.
So to help make shopping a whole lot easier, we’re keeping you fully informed on what’s new this month, from silky slip skirts and graphic tees to boiler suits and belt bags.
