Our Spring Style Picks: Lindsey's Favourites
We’ve been treated to a few welcome bursts of sunshine this month — just enough to tease the season ahead. With spring on the horizon, our latest collections are here to help you step out in style. Featuring fresh florals, vibrant hues and standout silhouettes, this is a season that’s all about maximum impact, minimal effort.
For this edition of our staff picks, we’re catching up with one of our talented stylists, Lindsey, to see what she’s loving right now. Known for styling playful prints and edgy accessories, Lindsey’s SS26 favourites are all about pieces that feel distinctive, comfortable and easy to wear — without ever compromising on style.
01. Shirts | Relaxed Versatile Wear
“A shirt is such a great, versatile piece to have in your wardrobe – wear for work, pair with jeans in the day and add heels for evening!” – Lindsey
Essentiel Antwerp Blue Stripe Shirt - £175
7ForAllMankind Stovepipe Jeans - £219
Max Mara Weekend Pink Cotton Trousers - £199
Marella Suede Court Shoe – £229
Essentiel Antwerp Mini Shopper Bag - £175
A crisp, cotton shirt can be one of the most versatile pieces in your wardrobe; easy to style and perfect for any occasion, they’re your spring/summer hero. Lindsey has chosen a brand new arrival from Essentiel Antwerp, a classic blue stripe shirt with a unique, embellished pocket.
Paired with a casual, light wash jean from 7ForAllMankind to create a daytime chic look, this outfit delivers a smart-casual feel without compromising on comfort.
Alternatively, a contrasting colour trouser like this pair from Max Mara Weeked and a pop of accessories, complete a look that’s fresh and bright for an early spring day.
Lindsey’s Style Tip: Size up – a simple way to maximize your style is to go for the oversized, relaxed shirt look. This is flattering for all body types and takes an outfit from 'safe' to stylish!
02. Jackets | Standout Layers for Spring
“Having a pop of colour in your outerwear brings a touch of spring to any basic outfit – it’s important to begin steering away from the dark colours of winter.” - Lindsey
Riani Short Blue Trench Jacket - £375
Monari White Embellished Tee - £65
Luisa Cerano Straight-Leg Jeans - £299
Riani Pastel Print Maxi Dress - £429
Riani Metallic Silver Trainers - £289
Lindsey continues her SS26 picks with a short, baby blue trench jacket by Riani, chosen for its soft, unique colour and flattering, cropped silhouette. So versatile for spring, this jacket can be dressed up or down and has the ability elevate any look.
Here, Lindsey pairs it with straight-leg jeans from Luisa Cerano to maximise the jacket’s soft casualness, dressing it down for an everyday look. A plain white t-shirt with subtle texture from Monari allows the jacket to take centre stage.
Alternatively, pair with a fun, patterned dress that ties in the jacket’s colour palette for a more dressed-up look.
Lindsey’s Style Tip: Versatile jackets – choosing a jacket for spring is all about practicality and versatility. A light weight trench is perfect over dresses on a bright day, and super useful when layered with knitwear on cooler evenings.
03. Dresses | Bright & Versatile
“Now the sunshine is finally arriving, I’m thinking about what occasions I’ve got this season. A versatile dress that can be worn for weddings, parties and day-to-day is so important!”
Marc Cain Calla Lily Dress - £425
Luisa Cerano Linen Blend Dress - £439
Matching Fascinators – Available in-store upon request.
From our dress collection, Lindsey has selected a graphic, floral design from Marc Cain. The softly figure hugging cut and lightweight fabric make it ideal for special occasions out in the sunshine. The bright, feminine pattern makes this piece shine as something really unique in your wardrobe - you just won’t be able to resist reaching for it.
Lindsey would style these dress options simply with white accessories and a complimenting fascinator for a summer wedding. Alternatively, a pair of sandals and a sun hat can create a fresh, holiday look.
Lindsey’s Style Tip: Dressing for occasions – the art to finding the perfect wedding guest dress is buying something you’ll wear again! You’ll be surprised how the right accessories and a fascinator can truly transform a simple summer dress into your dream occasion outfit.
04. Knitwear | Trying Something Different
“Short sleeve or vest-style knitwear are the way to go this spring – perfect for layering to stay warm and practical, but stylish as the brighter weather arrives.” – Lindsey
Rails Brown Sleeveless Cardigan - £179
Hale Bob Long Sleeve Dress - £519
Max Mara Weekend Boxy T-shirt - £95
Rails High Rise Denim Shorts - £149
Marella Brown Suede Bag - £415
Choosing your knitwear is a great place to experiment with your style, and Lindsey’s pick has a cool, laid-back edge. She’s chosen a sleeveless knit cardigan from Rails that embodies the brand's classic, Californian ease. Paired with a comfortable pair of denim shorts and a plain tee underneath, you’ve got the perfect outfit for a warm day.
Alternatively, wear over a long sleeve dress like this one from Hale Bob to create practical but stylish layering, maximizing your look instantly into boho-chic.
Lindsey’s Style Tip: Layer creatively – keeping warm doesn’t have to be solely practical. Get creative with sleeveless knits over structure tops to get fun and stylish silhouettes.
