The lighter evenings have arrived and flowers are in full bloom, it's as though we've stepped straight into spring. As we pack away our winter wares and bring warm day heroes to the front of our cupboards, now makes for a great time to take stock of what we have and identify any gaps along the way. Be they timeless tailored trousers or reliable denim pieces, there are some items that we just know will work hard throughout the year. And with the start of a new season, now is as good a time as any to ensure our wardrobes are as primed for the coming months as we are. That’s not to say that this is a time of excess. Any addition big or small should be carefully considered for its usefulness, quality and ability to last. And whilst we’re firm believers in a high-low wardrobe, mixing luxury finds and affordable gems, for those who have the means and desire to invest in higher quality styles, this is where our luxury spring edit comes in.
To be in the position to invest in such pieces is a luxury in itself, and therefore one that should be done with consideration. We've all swooned over cult designer pieces, but in terms of long-term value, we may not find ourselves reaching for those as often over the years as refined tailoring or a beautiful black tote bag. Classic styles have forever been en vogue, but in recent seasons the adoration of timeless style has grown exponentially. Whilst there are, of course, affordable classics, what draws us back to these more premium pieces is the extra emphasis on quality and the finer details.
The question remains, though, which exact items are worth investing that little bit more in for spring? Well, as ever dresses are a cornerstone of our warmer weather wardrobes, and this season designers have honed in on versatile designs that are easy to dress up and down, making the investment even more worthwhile. Whilst the new season offers sunshine, it can still be infrequent so light jackets will be essential for those milder days and evenings. Choose classic suede, canvas or leather options and they can be pulled out year after year. Spring capsule basics like shirting, loose trousers and a light knit for layering will work equally as hard. Looking at cost per wear, accessories always make smart investments, and a simple handbag or shoe update can lift all of your basic T-shirt and jeans outfits instantly. And finally, good denim is something we turn to all year round, so a more premium buy that doesn't fade, stretch or wear out is going to reap a lot more bang for your buck.
Keep scrolling to explore the nine key buys worth investing in this season, along with our personal recommendations for the pieces to shop now.
