The skies are brightening, the chill has left the air, and spring is officially on its way. Across the globe, stylish people are assembling their spring wardrobes, pulling out trusted trench coats and making lists of missing pieces that need to be purchased. Now can be a time for research, hunting down not only the fundamental basics for the new season but also the playful trends that will define spring 2025, and of course trawling through the various new-in sections to find those treasured additions. But what if there was an easier way? Say, a starter pack of sorts that notes the foundation buys, buzzy luxury and high street buys along with a dollop of playful accessories all in one concise place? Well, that would be this very edit.

After a very (very) long winter, each one of us is ready to strip off our thermals, pack away our heavy wool coats and get out into the sunshine in a great spring look. But after months of focusing on insulation, it can be hard to shift our headspace into warmer day dressing. If you’re wondering where to start, it’s right here. First up, the capsule pieces will work as a sleek base to build upon throughout the season. Think the ultimate white shirt, refined tailored trousers and of course, a reliable trench for those spring showers. Next up, the luxury buys everyone’s been talking about. These may be newer styles but remain far from flash-in-the-pan buys. Timeless, elegant and ready to serve your wardrobe this season and for years to come, you’ll find light jackets for mild spring mornings alongside easy dresses that lead to less time putting together an outfit and more time soaking up the sun.
