Four Easy Spring Outfits I Always Turn to When I Want to Look Polished

We’re well and truly in the swing of spring fashion at Who What Wear and judging by the conversations I’ve been having lately, we’re all growing tired of padded outerwear and practical clothing that takes presedence during the winter. Spring is a promising season and with the burgeoning blossom comes an opportunity to dress in a more creative way that’s not dictated so much by harsh weather conditions.

If the runways and retail sites are anything to go by it’s going to be a fun fulled year where fashion is concerned and spring presents the perfect opportunity to play with the swoon-worthy elegant silhouettes we’ve bore witness to, lately.

Although I consider myself as somewhat anti-trend (regarding discernment when it comes to new purchases), I’ve been heavily inspired by a couple of trends since 2023. Sweeping lengths, silken pieces, draped scarves and mules have become the cornerstones of my personal style. I love the refined and elegant feel they boast and feel my best when wearing these styles. As an ode to my new favourite pieces, I’ve created four elegant spring looks I can’t wait to recreate once the weather feels a tad more friendly. Keep reading to see and shop my looks.

1. Scarf Trench Coat + White Maxi Dress + Ankle- Boots

Style Notes: As we transition into spring, let your outerwear follow suit and the scarf coat trend is too good to leave in the winter, wouldn’t you agree? You can also start thinking about reintroducicing some of your much loved spring pieces. Pair dresses in lighter fabrications, with hardned leather footwear. We’re bound to experience sound downpour yet.

2. Elevated Top + Grey Tailored Trousers

Style Notes: I adore the myriad ways tailored elements are being styled of late. Since 2023, looks that were once deemed as solely office-appropriate have been given a spin and we’re now seeing them in many walks of life and with unconventional pairings. Case in point, grecian-styled bandeau tops with dark grey marl trousers. It’s one part classic and one part trend-forward.

3. Black Blazer + Full Skirt + Wool Triangle Scarf

Style Notes: This look is inspired by Who What Wear Deputy Editor and chic dressing extraordinaire Maxine Eggenberger. I’ve bookmarked one of her London Fashion Week ensembles as it also speaks to my style. With a tailored element, fluted skirt and wollen triangle scarf delicately balanced on the blazer lapel, it comprises many trends and plays on androgynous and feminine elements, whilst boasting a timeless appeal.

4. Scoop Neck Wool Top + Silk Skirt + Mules

Style Notes: There was once a time when going out tops were sparse, so I’ve been appreciating the ruched and direction designs lately. This top has many convertible elements. Tuck the lengths into the waistband of jeans or a skirt skirt, or wear it on top for an elongated look.
