I'm a Shopping Expert—Here's Everything on My March Wish List
The first day of spring is almost upon us (officially, it’s the 20th if you want to mark those calendars), but the blue skies and that spring-like feeling in the air are due to arrive even sooner. By the looks of London’s forecast, we’re officially done with single-digit Celsius temperatures already *sighs with relief* and so we can’t help but look forward to the new season now. March is also the perfect time to start thinking about your wardrobe switchover—vacuum-packing away those heavy layers and taking stock of what spring-ready pieces you already have in your closet and what you may need to replenish or add.
You’re only human if you find these seasonal changes in wardrobe mindset a little tricky, though. Even I struggle remembering how to dress for warmer climes after months of hiding under chunky puffers, and I’ve been a stylist for almost 10 years. Like I said, you’ll probably own a lot of what you love wearing in spring already, and then it’s just a case of adding in a few fresh items to bring everything up to date and, let’s be honest, get you excited about wearing all your outfits again. There’s a lot of choice out there when it comes to new spring buys, though, and so I thought it might be helpful to put together a shopping guide of all the pieces I’m particularly loving this March to provide some inspiration for the season ahead.
After all, as aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing editor, my job is to scour everything on the market and know exactly what’s worth purchasing and what’s not, the pieces that have staying power and the expensive-looking items you’ll never regret. Below, then, you’ll find 40 of the very best spring pieces I think are really special for wearing right now and beyond. I’ve included some timeless seasonal classics, like the perfect trench coat and fresh blue jeans (ideal if you’ve spotted some gaps in your capsule that need to be filled), and also some fun statement pieces guaranteed to bring joy, too. I’m not suggesting you need everything in this list by any means, but if you’re looking for one or two items to bring your March wardrobe into the new season, keep scrolling for a nosy at the pieces I'd recommend below.

1. Spring Jackets
I've had the grey version of this on my wish list all winter but this new green one (made from responsible wool) has just trumped it.
Quilted jackets don't just look good; they're versatile, too. This new H&M version is one of the best I've seen on the high street.
I love the contrast of this sweet candy shade on an oversized blazer.
2. Dresses Skirts
Comfy yet chic. Pair with knee-high boots for the office or meetings.
I'm predicting this pretty H&M dress is going to be a sellout this spring/summer. Get it now while you can.
This is a cute minidress you can take with you from spring into summer.
I've seen this dress look good on so many different body shapes.
The comfiest dress that looks chic and makes a statement too.
We're all familiar with the versatility of a slip skirt by now, and this bright pink one is no different.
3. Tops Knits
Inject some colour into your classics with this tangerine dream.
4. Trousers Jumpsuits
If you couldn't already tell, I'm so into green this season—along with the rest of the fashion world.
Trousers of all kinds are still huge this season, but cream tailored ones feel particularly on point.
I love these slouchier jeans paired with a delicate sandal or pretty ballet flat.
5. Accessories
I'm obsessed with how these transform jeans and a T-shirt into a pretty spring outfit.
I love the new anklet addition to M&S's popular ballet flats. They're so comfy as well.
A fresh pair of trainers makes every outfit look expensive.
