Spring’s crafty embellishments and textures are a delight to the touch as well as the eye. Take your pick from artisanal fabrics and crinkled finishes; reams of soft ruffles and feathers; and fine fringing that moves with you – each take a testament to individuality and creativity.

The outerwear de jour? A transeasonal leather jacket, dressed up for warmer days with a spectrum of vibrant tones as well as lighter cuts. For the classicists, there are black iterations, too, but this season styled anew over airy sheer layers and delicate lace to create a study in romantic contrasts.

Welcome ease into your wardrobe with the season’s utilitarian and preppy influences. Bring layered looks together with lightweight four-pocket jackets, collegiate blazers and polo knits and opt for spring fabrics that are innately functional – think breathable natural fibres and a neutral palette. The simplest style hack to transform the mood of your outfit? A popped collar.

Search out pieces that resonate with your lifestyle as well as your look. When in doubt, reach for the season’s softly-cut separates – easy-on and draped jackets, voluminous trousers and reimagined shirts with day-to-night appeal – and keep your palette versatile with warm neutrals. A cornerstone of the catwalks, lightweight trench coats in trademark beige lend timeless wearability, too.

Reset your denim dress codes with the latest shades and styles. Choose from sculptural and classic straight-leg silhouettes, slouchy denim jackets and a tailored take on the denim maxi skirt for women. Meanwhile, for men, new favourites come with wide and tapered cuts in vintage washes and deep indigo shades, as well as smartened up with sartorial details that riff on the classic suit.
