Spring has officially sprung, which means it's time to store your winter wardrobe and update your look by investing in some key new season pieces.

Whilst we love a designer label here at Stylist, the high street has some seriously good buys this season too. But if the thought of battling through town on a Saturday fills you with dread, fear not, for we have hand-selected the very best buys currently topping our shopping list. From office-friendly minimalism to seventies-inspired platforms, these standout pieces will instantly update your wardrobe in the click of a mouse.

Banana Republic: Floral Jacket

“Florals are all the rage this season. Here are some pointers when picking the best printed blazer for you. Always start with a perfectly tailored garment, and be sure the print pattern is proportional to your size and doesn’t overwhelm you. Finally, pair prints with solids. This season, a neutral wide leg pant or maxi skirt will do the trick.”

Simon Kneen, Banana Republic, Creative Director & EVP Design

£110, bananarepublic.gap.eu
