As the warmth of spring begins to emerge, it’s the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe with a versatile capsule collection, TESS LEWIS explains.
With a carefully selected set of key items, you can mix and match to create a range of chic, easy-to-wear outfits with timeless pieces and the season’s trendiest colour, butter yellow.
Key items for your spring capsule wardrobe
- Light blue shirt
A quintessential piece for spring. Its soft hue provides a fresh alternative to darker winter colours and pairs beautifully with both casual and more sophisticated outfits. Tuck it into tailored skirts, tie it around your waist with an all-white base or worn over denim for an effortlessly stylish outfit. - Tailored white skirt or shorts
Investing in a tailored white skirt or shorts will offer you a chic, versatile option for both work and casual settings. The crisp white fabric provides a clean, sophisticated look that can be dressed up with a blazer or dressed down with a simple tee. - Tan trench coat
The classic spring essential. It adds a touch of sophistication and is perfect for layering on cooler spring days. Its neutral tone complements a variety of outfits and adds a polished finish to any ensemble. - Denim
Denim jeans, jackets and skirts are a spring staple that will serve you well through the season and beyond. Opt for a classic cut, such as straight-leg jeans, midi skirts or a box cut denim jacket, which can be paired with almost anything. - Plain white t-shirt
A quality plain white t-shirt is a wardrobe essential that can be styled in countless ways. It works as a base layer under blazers, paired with skirts, or tucked into high-waisted jeans. - Classic belt
A classic leather belt is a simple yet fundamental accessory that adds structure to your outfits. It’s perfect for cinching the waist of oversized shirts or dresses, and it brings a touch of elegance and definition to your outfits. - Sheer midi skirt
For a touch of romance and whimsical allure, include a sheer skirt in your capsule wardrobe. This piece adds a layer of elegance and can be layered over shorts or a slip dress for a more ethereal look or elevate your look. - Light neutral-coloured cardigan
A light neutral-coloured cardigan is perfect for layering during those unpredictable spring days. A cardigan in a shade like beige or light grey complements other items in your wardrobe and adds an extra layer of warmth without being too heavy.
Butter yellow trending
This season’s on-trend colour, butter yellow, adds a cheerful and fresh touch to your spring wardrobe. Consider integrating this soft, sunny hue through accessories or a statement piece of clothing, such as a butter yellow skirt, bag, or pair of shoes that complements the neutral and pastel tones in your capsule collection.
