Refresh your spring wardrobe with fashion editor, stylist and brand founder advice.
Despite the overwhelmingly grey days and a general feeling like it’s been raining for two months straight, spring is (blessedly) well on its way. As a true transitional season, spring can leave you in a sense of outfit limbo, but also with a sense of sartorial rebirth—a whole new wardrobe to work with. Heavy coats and knits can be shed in favour of a uniform of playful hues, textures, and lighter silhouettes. Everything starts to feel a little freer and looser. The reset button is pressed.
If you’re seeking a little inspiration when planning your SS26 wardrobe, this is an excellent place to start. We consulted five of our favourite fashion insiders to share the rules they’ll be living by this spring, so you can get ahead before the season hits. Keep reading for fashion editor, stylist, and brand founder advice that we’ve taken straight to our Pinterest vision boards.
Fashion Stylist, Writer & Editor
“For spring, you’ll find me living in these DMY Studios sunglasses. I’ve been hunting down an oversized aviator or ‘shield’ pair for some time to outfit my daytime looks (for that celeb-approved, anti-paparazzi vibe), and so when I stumbled upon this pair in Bessette’s latest pop-up, it was love.
I’m also keen to add a few fresh hues to my ensembles over the next few months: turmeric yellow and inky, sky blues are where it’s at for me: grounded, but still vibrant, grown up and polished.”

“I live in Paris, where I’ve adopted subtle accents to accentuate my style. My favourite transitional accessory is a scarf, and I wear mine in one of two ways. Either backwards, creating a front loop and tying it back. Or I wear it width ways, across my shoulders, creating a cape effect. Both styles create dimension and add an elegant touch to my outfits.”

“Investing in a versatile (yet practical) lightweight jacket that brings you joy to wear each day always proves transformative for me. It can become the foundation of an outfit—and if you’re worried about the splurge, look into second-hand options. I swear by vintage men’s pieces for that effortlessly sophisticated feel.”

“I always reach for a few dependable accessories to keep a spring look feeling exciting—and like you’ve made way more effort. I love styling a silk scarf, statement jewellery (hello, brooches), or sunglasses with a little personality to add more oomph to my outfits.”
