Light dress slightly
above the knee

In principle, there are no restrictions and rules for choosing a dress for the spring. The only thing when buying a thing that you plan to wear a lot and often, carefully read the composition of the fabric and better not to skimp on quality and cut. The most comfortable and appropriate length is half a palm above the knee; it is logical to choose a model of calm shades that will go with most of your clothes. Great fit and beautiful colors are easy to find in the collections of Tory Burch, Jil Sander and Chloé.

Bright jacket

From leather, denim or cotton - there are many options for jackets for the spring. Everyone probably already has a model in black, and in the spring I want to add more light and bright shades to the wardrobe. Look for perfectly tailored leather jackets in white, pale pink, blue and other beautiful colors in the Iro, Acne and Rag & Bone collections, while the black but with a bright floral print can be found in Erdem. Basic denim jackets, which can be worn both as outerwear and as a jacket under a coat or trench coat on cool spring evenings, can be found both in the collections of brands specializing in denim and expensive brands such as Saint Laurent and Proenza Schouler.

Light coat or trench coat

As an alternative or addition to your leather jacket for spring, opt for a lightweight fabric coat or trench coat. You can find the option of neutral shades (beige, gray or khaki), or you can go all-in and buy a bright coat. Only your taste and the general color scheme of your wardrobe are important here. A pale yellow Stella McCartney, a red Valentino jacquard or a pink Karen Walker trench coat will help you organize your spring mood in no time. Coats in calmer versatile colors and variations on the classic Burberry trench coat can be found in the A.P.C. collection. ...
