5 wardrobe essentials for spring
To see you through the cross over of cool and warm weather, here we bring you the only five fashion items you’ll need for a great spring wardrobe.
1. A long, lightweight dress
Spring is filled with outdoor events that require you to be dressed appropriately for the sun and surrounds. A long, lightweight dress that caters to all of these kinds of occasions, can be simply dressed up or down with scarfs, hats, shoes and jewellery. Try to avoid black and white and opt for something more cheerful.
2. Comfortable sandals
The warmer weather calls for strappy shoes that go well with everything from dresses through to shorts and comfy slacks. Just remember to opt for a pair that is comfortable as well as easy on the eye. Support and comfort are very important in footwear – especially if you want to invest in a pair that you can wear to different types of occasions and are comfy enough to wear for long periods of time.
3. Comfortable jeans or pants
It’s time to take off the layers but jeans and trousers still have a place in your spring wardrobe. You’ll want to buy a pair that are more lightweight that the winter variety. Styles that are loose and comfortable enough to wear in the sun are ideal.
4. A tasteful sleeveless top
A sleeveless tops is vital to the transitional wardrobe, which work perfectly under shawls, wraps and cardigans. The right shape for your body shape and medium-weight material will mean you can wear it anywhere.
5. An over-sized shawl
Heavy jackets and coats are unlikely to fit in your handbag, but you still need to be prepared for those evening chills that are common in the transitional months leading up to summer. Pick up a thin, soft scarf or shawl that can fit in a small purse, be worn around your neck and save you from the chills at dusk.
