The Checklist: Spring Essentials

The sun is shining, the birds are twittering and the sweet smell of spring is just around the corner. Nevertheless, it’s not only your home that could do with a deep clean when the sunny weather starts. Blow away the cobwebs on those light layers and seasonal staples and inject a splash of spring sunshine into your wardrobe with the ultimate in palette-cleansing accessories.

1. Fresh Basics

They say when life gets complicated, try going back to the basics. Whilst we’re not looking to offer life advice, where matters of style are concerned, there we can give a little steer.

2. Spring-Ready Sandals

Step into spring with a pair of sleek sandals that will have you hotfooting it out the door and into the warmer weather. Where Jil Sander leads, the rest will follow, so add a little Italian luxury into your life with the house’s ultra-modern flip flops. Feeling a little bit more flirtatious? Try Paris Texas’ retro-inspired kitten heels for a hit of footwear frisson.

3. Specs Appeal

They say the world looks better through rosy-tinted spectacles, but it seems that a pair of designer shades will have a similar effect. Whether you’re looking for large lenses, vintage-style aviators or some chunky acetate frames, finding the right pair of sunglasses is the easiest way to accessorize, not to mention inviting a little sunshine into your life.

4. Spring Arm Candy

Spring dressing is about not taking yourself too seriously, which is why we believe it’s best to have a mood-boosting bag on your arm. Whether you’re opting for bright apple green from BY FAR, lemon-yellow luxury from Bottega Veneta or a tongue-in-chic Chiquito from Jacquemus, a brand new slice of arm candy is the easiest way to give your wardrobe that necessary spring lift.
