While we hunted out the pieces for this feature, the rain was hammering down and the sky was a depressing shade of grey. WTF, spring? But just because the weather didn’t get the memo doesn’t mean you can dress for the new season.
From staple prints like gingham and florals, midi dresses, essential cardigans and plenty of pastels, we’ve rounded up the styles we think will put an, ahem, spring in your step even if it’s gloomy AF (and a teeny bit chilly) outside.
Dress for the weather you want, not the weather you have and all that…
