Free People We The Free denim barn coat
I’m disproportionately thrilled that it’s jacket-wearing weather and last year’s barn silhouette is still big for this spring. I love Free People’s mustard style, which I’ll wear with everything from wide-leg joggers and a crew neck T-shirt to ankle-grazing lightweight summer dresses.
Reiss Ruby silk-front cami top in white
I love Reiss for quality knitwear, denim and special eveningwear pieces like tops and tailoring. This silk vest is such a useful top and would look great with jeans and mesh pumps or tailored trousers and a kitten heel. Just add a cardigan or a blazer as a final layer.
Shop Reiss Ruby silk-front cami top in white, £88
Bluebella Naomi wired bra hot coral
I love Bluebella’s elevated essentials underwear, especially the plain sheer sets, which are great under strappy summer dresses, racer vests or cami tops with barrel-leg khaki trousers and leather sandals.
Dune Mischevious strappy leather heeled sandals
Dune does brilliantly timeless shoes (as well as some playful seasonal pieces), and I’ve worn its square-toe boots all winter. For summer, I’m investing in these simple strappy sandals.
Lucy Reber, fashion director
M&S cotton-rich textured knitted vest
My go-to uniform at this time of year is a vest and wide-leg trousers or jeans and the new textured knit vests from M&S that come in chic neutral shades as well as of-the-moment pastel yellow and lilac are top of my new season wishlist.
River Island cream puff-sleeve tailored blazer
This jacket from River Island is the perfect piece to elevate your jeans and T-shirt for spring and summer. So chic and minimal, it’s the perfect lightweight tailored jacket.
Allbirds Tree Dasher 2
The comfort levels of Allbirds sneakers is unparalleled, making them a failsafe choice for busy weekends. This Tree Dasher silhouette is my favourite to date, and the tonal colourways are making me really excited for spring.
John Lewis x Awake Mode sleeveless asymmetric slim-fit top
The John Lewis x Awake Mode collaboration just launched and has some brilliant pieces in. I love this asymmetric top, which will look as good in the day as it will with a pair of delicate pumps for evening.

Chelsea Peers short button up pyjama set
Pyjamas have my heart, and this pair comes in the perfect spring green shade. The short style and contrast piping add an extra flourish for a truly fancy sleep.

Swatch Petal Frenzy watch
There’s something undeniably stylish about a sleek, silver watch. This one from Swatch is crafted from stainless steel and a blue-toned face, making it both fashionable and functional. Just wear it with a dark denim oversized shirt and matching jeans, as pictured.
Dr Martens Elphie II leather ballet flats
I’m not usually one for platform styles, but these Dr Martens are perfect. With a chunky sole and soft leather, they give me the added height I love without compromising on comfort. I’d style them with a 90s-inspired look – opaque tights, an indigo denim skirt and a halter top.
Uniqlo U dry sweat cardigan
Uniqlo U offers some lovely transitional staples for the in-between weather, and I have my eye on this cardigan. The best part? It has double-faced fabric to keep you warm while creating a sleek yet relaxed look.
