Cast off those bulky winter layers and usher in your new-season sartorial failsafes – spring ‘23 is giving sunshine… 

Spotting those first shoots of a daffodil or tulip. Ending the work day while it’s still light. Shrugging, “Oh, this old thing” as you receive your fifth compliment of the week in a stellar new-season ‘fit that’s finally no longer hidden under your dull winter puffer. All are equally pleasing signs that spring has arrived – and we’re veritably here for it.

Doing away with bulky winter layers and welcoming in your spring wardrobe is a new-season rite of passage – so we’ve compiled 10 of the best transitional pieces from F&F at Next to put a pep back in your step for springtime.

Wardrobe refresh and serotonin hit: incoming… 

F&F pink bomber jacket

1. The pink bomber jacket

Barbiecore’s edgier sister has entered the chat and she’s got lots to say. This candy pink bomber offers endless layering opportunities thanks to its oversized fit, while the high-low cut is perfect for styling interesting silhouettes. Pair with flared trousers or billowing maxi skirts to curate spring-ready style statements.

F&F black jeans

2. The all-black jeans

A year-round style staple, a black skinny jean is an all-weather winner. Styled up with a chunky boot or spring-appropriate loafer, dressing from the feet up can become your new-season style mantra. And the best part? These F&F jeans are mindfully made using sustainably sourced cotton from the Better Cotton Initiative.

F&F neutral blazer

3. The neutral blazer

Let’s be honest, we need make no case for the neutral blazer: it’s a failsafe layering piece. Chucked on over a maxi dress, paired with the classic ‘jeans and a nice top’ or even just popped on over a hoodie for (stylish) warmth, it can elevate the most basic of outfits to street style status.

F&F mom jeans

4. The mom jeans

These grey belted mom jeans from F&F at Next combine style and slouch – which, in an age of loungewear as outerwear, we can get very much on board with. A staple you can trot out week to week, and looking just as good with chunky trainers or sandals when the weather warms up, we’re all about effortless outfits that require minimal styling (meaning extra time to slouch in our loungewear, naturally).

F&F houndstooth jacket

5. The houndstooth throw-on jacket

This spring, we’re calling the revival of houndstooth. It’s been doing the catwalk rounds again – and this sky blue take from F&F gives the legacy print covetable status. No need to pay too much attention to the rest of your outfit – this attention-stealing jacket is the only statement you need.

F&F asymmetric top

6. The colour pop bodysuit

Asymmetry is big for s/s23, and the décolletage-baring neckline and vibrant pop of green make this top one trend-talking springtime essential.

F&F blue padded jacket

7. The sky blue padded jacket

Nothing says spring quite like a wash of sky blue, and this padded bomber jacket in the sunshine-approved colourway heralds the new season. Guaranteed feelings of joy when you pull this one out the wardrobe.

F&F stripe sweatshirt

8. The Breton stripe sweatshirt

We may have a penchant for Parisian culture, and we might utter, “C’est la vie” at every minor inconvenience, but this sweatshirt does the most for us because it’s actually a ‘2-in-1’: a Breton stripe sweatshirt thrown over a classic white shirt. Chuck on a pair of shades and a trench and you’re nailing French nonchalance.

F&F green blazer

9. The dopamine-approved blazer

Just because spring is here, it unfortunately doesn’t mean we’re entitled to vitamin D-enhancing sunshine every single day… Luckily, this lively green blazer is perfect for layering during the chillier days, and offers a dopamine-dressing hit of joy no matter the weather.

F&F blue jeans

10. The classic jean

Mindfully made, welcome F&F’s most sustainable jeans into your wardrobe: designed with sustainable cotton, supersoft modal fibres from renewable sources and lycra from recycled and renewable origins. A classic blue skinny jean will stand the test of time and will take you through many a transitional season to come.
