Okay, we're officially confused about the weather. One second it's sub-zero with sleet, and the next it's balmy 15-degree sunshine. Seriously, Britain—make up your mind. But of course, this is the nature of spring, and every year, we manage to power through the meteorological mayhem and make it to the other side where summer awaits. 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 a-line skirt and shirt combination can be layered up with a trench coat when the cooler days creep in, or worn as is through summer too. For a smarter spin, we're looking to Stephanie'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.
1. Waistcoat + Tailored Trousers
Style Notes: Waistcoats have made a comeback over the past few seasons, especially during the warmer months. Style them out with colour-match trousers and gold jewellery.
Shop the look:
Wear this without anything underneath for a cool spin on the going-out top.
Chain necklaces are always a good idea.
You'll find yourself reaching for these throughout the year.
2. Suede Jacket + Straight-Leg Jeans + Clogs
Style Notes: Suede comes into its own in the springtime, as it presents a softer way to wear leather for the brighter months. I like how Monikh has doubled up on the suede textures with her jacket-and-Birkenstock combo.
Shop the look:
So many of our editors have their sights set on this jacket.
Arket jeans are so strong this season.
These clogs are flying right now.
3. Shirt + Midi Skirt + Ballet Flats
Style Notes: The brilliance of Marina's look is that each piece is classic, but when combined it feels incredibly contemporary. Plus, the light linen shirt and skirt style are ideal for keeping cool on warmer days.
Shop the look:
Nothing says incoming sunshine light yellow linen.
How elegant is this skirt?
I've spotted so many sleek outfits that include a studded belt.
Well done, Reformation.
4. Trench Coat + Jeans + Slingbacks
Style Notes: There's a reason why classics have earned their title, and its for the power of their simplicity. Sylvie proves that a timeless trench coat, blue jeans and an elevated slingback heel is all it takes to look put-together through the transitional period.
Shop the look:
This comes in sizes 2XS to 4XL.
A much-loved pair.
Add a touch of elegance to any outfit with thee suede slingbacks.
5. Knit Dress + Sandals
Style Notes: Ease yourself into dress season with a knitted iteration, which will provide you with some extra warmth. When the weather’s playing ball, pair yours with summer-ready sandals.
Shop the look:
I've been thinking about this dress ever since I first saw it.
Aligne knows how temperamental the weather can be, so add or remove this matching knit cardigan as needed.
You can never be too prepared—snap up your new summer sandals now.
6. Denim Boilersuit + Jumper + Loafers
Style Notes: Fancy a change from dresses but still want a simple outfit solution? Look no further than the denim jumpsuit.
Shop the look:
A ready made outfit, all in one.
A cosy layer for the chillest days.
The loafers every editor on our team wants.
