After months of rainy days, grey skies and wrapping ourselves in endless layers, spring is finally here. With the days slowly getting longer and the weather generally improving, the season of opting for much lighter clothing has begun. However, anyone in the UK knows that just because the calendar says, 'spring' does not mean that we're guaranteed sunshine and warm days from now on. In fact, if recent years are anything to go by, the truly hot weather won't make an appearance for a few months now. So whilst we're all probably very eager to switch our our heavy outerwear and fully embrace warm-weather pieces, we're still currently in need of the perfect layer to add to our outfits.
Enter the versatile but stylish jumper—the ultimate transitional staple. Light enough for the slightly milder temperatures we're about to face, but still cosy enough to protect us against icy morning breezes, a jumper is key to getting the most out of your spring/summer outfits as early as possible the year.
Whether you choose to throw in over a button-up linen shirt and jeans when the wind speeds up or simply throw in over your shoulders with your favourite midi dress when the sun makes an appearance, a jumper will be the ultimate spring layering piece this season. And let's not forget the practical side to carrying around a jumper, with it being a lot easier to take on-the-go than a bulkier winter coat.
So if you're looking for an easy way to start wearing your new season pieces without compromising on warmth and comfort, I've created five chic but practical spring jumper outfits for you to copy this season.
5 Chic But Practical Spring Jumper Outfits to Copy This Season
1. Jumper + Linen Shirt + Jeans
Style Notes: It doesn't get more classic than a jeans and button-up shirt combo, but instead of throwing on a heavy wool coat, we'll be swapping this out for a lighter jumper on those chillier spring days. Add some tonal accessories and you're all set.
Shop the Look:
An investment you'll keep forever.
H&M does such great linen.
Straight-leg jeans will never go out of style.
These have been a fashion-person favourite for decades now.
How chic is this navy hue?
To finish off the look.
2. Jumper + Poplin Skirt + Ballet Flats
Style Notes: You can wear your summer poplin skirts from now by pairing them with a jumper until the weather warms up. Add a pair of classic ballet pumps, then finish off the look with a pop-of-colour bag to add some interest.
Shop the Look:
This is a best-seller for good reason.
Doesn't this look so expensive?
The pearl embellishments are so cute.
The newest addition to Loewe's puzzle bag collection.
So chic!
3. Jumper + T-Shirt + Tailored Trousers
Style Notes: Tailored trousers are a year-round wardrobe staple, but as we wait to wear them with just a simple tank or tee when summer arrives, add an elevated jumper into the mix to make the perfect outfit that you'll wear both in and out of the office.
Shop the Look:
Between the drop shoulders, balloon-sleeved and preppy collar, this jumper is seriously elevated.
An easy spring layering piece.
A Who What Wear UK editor favourite.
I almost thought these were designer.
You'll be able to fit so much into this tote.
4. Jumper + Midi Dress + Suede Boots
Style Notes: It's never too early to get out your pretty midi dress, in my opinion, but as we're still waiting for the weather to improve a chunky knit jumper can be thrown over your shoulders for an extra layer of warmth. A pair of suede ankle boots and a matching bag will take the look to the next level.
Shop the Look:
This will go with everything.
So pretty.
You'll reach for these no matter the season.
This deep chocolate brown shade looks so expensive.
Sunnies are a year-round staple.
5. Jumper + Long-Sleeve Tee + Bermuda Shorts
Style Notes: Bermuda shorts had a resurgence last year and I expect spring/summer 2025 will be no different. Opt for a classic black pair and wear it with a burgundy knit and slingbacks for a look that can easily be taken from day to night.
Shop the Look:
Such a pretty hue.
Every wardrobe needs a versatile belt.
There's just something about Bermuda shorts that feel so elegant.
How sleek are these?
So dreamy.
