From a bracing 7 degrees to 25 in under one week; what is the heck is going on with the weather right now? Nothing new, that’s what. Any true Brit should be well used to (and well practiced at) navigating this climatic yo-yo, otherwise known as spring.

So before you rush out and revamp your entire wardrobe for summer, here are seven styling hacks you can use right now adapt pieces you probably already own.

Cotton shirt dress + sweatshirt

If you haven’t yet got wind of the Nineties logo sweatshirt mega-movement, now is the time to embrace it. Throw one over a linen shirt-dress and add trainers or boots.

Sandals + socks + bare legs

It may be your Grandad’s footwear of choice but that doesn’t mean you can’t rock it like a badass too. Make your sandals chunky, socks black and keep legs bare and lightly bronzed. 

Summer dress + boots

It may be too early for a prairie sun dress, but add a pair of heavy-duty stomping boots and you’ve got yourself a refreshingly breezy springtime look.

Swap your poloneck for a frilly blouse

Remember that poloneck-layering trick that we keep banging on about? Well, now you can apply exactly the same rule for spring. Just swap the poloneck for a frilly blouse or cardigan.

Show some shoulder

If you already own a one-shouldered jumper, now is it's time to shine. Failing that, choose a baggy jumper with a wide boat or V neck, pull it off one shoulder and push up the sleeves. Easy peasy.

Shirt-dress layered over trousers

Nothing says spring more that a striped cotton shirt-dress. Make yours work in-between seasons by wearing it long and partially un-buttoned over a pair of leather trousers. 

Long sleeves, long hem

Still can’t wait to get into those boho paisley prints? Choose a floaty maxi dress with long sleeves and a pussy-bow neck to avoid looking like you’ve over-eagerly catapulted yourself into August.
