I might be biased here, but in my opinion, spring is the best season. Yes, I was born in spring, but I think even if I were born in any other season, I’d still love it. The air is warmer, the days grow longer, and we start refreshing our lives in a way that just doesn’t happen in any other season.
From planting your spring garden, refreshing your spring skincare routine to spring cleaning your home and refreshing your trans-seasonal spring wardrobe.
But all this excitement can bring a lot of busyness, which is why our spring wardrobe refresh only needs to be a ‘few key updates’ rather than a total overhaul. It might include a few staples that can be mixed and matched into your existing rotation, light-weight materials and a pop of colour to bring a little fun to spring dressing.
Feel lighter in linen
Linen is a staple for spring. Why you ask? Linen offers a casual kind of elegance, with its breathable fibres and comfortable feel making it ideal for either layering for a little extra warmth or letting your skin breathe.
Linen staples such as a relaxed button-up or tailored trouser are undoubtedly the go-to for dressing up and down throughout the season and can be worn anywhere from the beach to a day in the office.
Effortless everyday dressing
If you want to look, put together in an effortless kind of way, then co-ord sets are a great wardrobe staple option. Co-ord sets offer a low-energy dressing formula that lets you mix and match pieces to suit the mood, especially when you choose from a range of materials that work across seasons.
As we mentioned earlier, linen works well for layering, which is why when it comes to co-ord sets, reaching for linen pieces is a no-brainer.
“Co-ords are a great wardrobe essential that can be worn un a multitude of ways. A button-down set can be worn open with a simple tank layered underneath to make it more relaxed, then by adding a statement piece of jewellery and a great blazer elevates it for a nighttime look.” – Mattie Cronan, Australian Women’s Weekly Style Director

Embrace a pop of colour
Adding colour into your wardrobe is the easiest way to give it a fresh spring feel. Not only does embracing colour give you a hit of dopamine, but it also gives your outfit personality.
If you generally reach for a fairly muted colour palette, these are our tips for incorporating bolder shades into your wardrobe without feeling overwhelmed:
- Start small. Try adding a colourful top or accessory into the rotation.
- Pair colour, such as aqua, with your neutral staples.
- Experiment to see what colour suits you best; currently, a fresh aqua tone is trending for spring.
- Once you know what you like, branch out and embrace it in a tonal outfit.
