Sponsor Content Created With MATCHES
Al fresco lunches, picnics in the park, and lazy days spent in beer gardens—there's a lot to be excited for with spring on the horizon. With all the exciting prospects, we're already thinking up outfits for the new season and considering the essential pieces we'll rely on for all our sunny-day plans.
Luckily for us, MATCHESFASHION has stocked its new-arrivals section with all we could need (or want). Whether you're a staunch classicist or have a penchant for new trends, this edit covers all bases with an overarching timelessness that makes each investment truly worthwhile.
When we look to springtime style, there are seven strong categories we find ourselves relying on year after year. If you're an avid Who What Wear UK reader, you'll know that dresses are an essential part of our list no matter the season. As we pack away our cosiest coats, we're turning to lighter jackets. A sleek handbag is a clever investment at any time, but these new arrivals are particularly enticing and timeless. Better still, you can enjoy 15% off your first order at MATCHESFASHION with the code NEW15.* New-season styles for less? Consider our interest piqued.
