The mornings are brighter, the days are stretching out, and just like that, spring’s rolled in. It’s the season to swap out heavy winter kit for gear that suits longer afternoons and weekend barbies.
Lean Into Spring Colours:
This season’s all about relaxed tones with a bit of edge. Think dusty greens, washed-out blues, stone, rust, and the odd pale pink or yellow thrown in. A faded overshirt worn open over a plain tee and chinos gets the job done without trying too hard.
What’s Making Moves This Season:
- Laid-back Layers: Shed the weight. Reach for shirts and jackets that move with you, like a linen button-up, a canvas overshirt, or a light bomber. Great for when the sun’s out but the wind hasn’t quite clocked off yet.
- Low-Key Prints: A short-sleeve shirt with a subtle floral or abstract pattern goes a long way. Nothing too loud, just something that lifts the outfit a bit.
- Wider Trousers: Cuts are loosening up. Look for straight or relaxed fits, cropped or cuffed. Pair with sneakers, boots or slides, whatever fits the day.
- Utility Details: Pockets, tabs, zips, workwear-style pieces are still going strong. A chore jacket or military shirt adds a bit of grit without looking overdone.
Finish it off with the right gear, a canvas cap, clean sunnies, and a watch that’s seen some life. On foot, rotate between desert boots, woven sandals or classic runners. No fuss, just solid staples for the months ahead.
