7 Chic, Spring-Ready Outfits We'll Be Relying On Throughout March

Okay, we're officially confused about the weather. March is technically when spring begins and although we are getting a few more sunnier days, we're still feeling the chill here in the UK. Seriously, Britain—we're ready for the warmer weather. But of course, this is the nature of spring in the UK, and every year, we manage to power through the meteorological mayhem and make it to the other side where hot days await. It'll happen. We promise.

So when it comes to deciding what to wear this March, we're taking a tentative—but no less stylish—approach and offering up a slew of simple outfits that can easily be layered up or dressed down according to your needs. For example, Marina's spring-ready maxi dress and barn jacket combination can be tweaked to add a warmer trench coat when the cooler days creep in, or worn as is through summer too. For a smarter spin, we're looking to Caroline's combination of tailoring that can be worn together for an elevated take, or separated for various outfit combinations.

The secret to their success? All these outfits feature pieces that can be brought out the moment summer hits, and that's what we call getting more bang for your buck. Scroll down to see our full edit of March-ready outfits.

Style Notes: The brilliance of Caroline's look is that each piece is classic, but when combined it feels incredibly contemporary. Plus, the lightweight shirt and skirt style are ideal for keeping cool on warmer days. Simply add a boxy blazer when the weather gets cold.

Style Notes: Double denim has made a comeback over the past few seasons, especially during the warmer months. Style it with a belt to break up the blue tones and add a pair of easy ballet flats to finish off the look.

Style Notes: Blazers come into its own in the springtime, as it presents a lighter layer to a long wool coat for the warmer months. I like how Julie has doubled up on the plum-brown tones with her blazer-and-silk trouser combo.

Shop the Look:

6. Cardigan + Poplin Skirt + Strappy Sandals

Shop the Look:

7. Trench Coat + Jeans + Animal Print Mules

Style Notes: There's a reason why classics have earned their title, and its for the power of their simplicity. Emmanuelle proves that a timeless trench coat, blue jeans and an elevated snake-print mule is all it takes to look put-together through the transitional period.
