Our Spring Style Picks: Viki's Favourites
As we look ahead to the new season, it’s time to consider lighter layers, softer textures and pieces that feel fresh, effortless and easy to wear. Spring dressing is all about movement, versatility and letting your wardrobe breathe again.
This month, we’re shining a spotlight on Viki, one of the talented seamstresses from our alterations department. With an expert eye for fit, fabric and finishing details, Viki’s SS26 favourites focus on beautifully made pieces that feel modern, feminine and endlessly wearable, perfect for preparing for the season ahead.
01. Jackets | Polished Layers for Spring
“I’m ready to transition from my big coats to something a little less bulky. A jacket for me needs to be versatile and beautifully crafted, but still fun and unique!” - Viki
Viki begins her SS26 picks with a cream wool-blend jacket, elevated by gold buttons and fringed trims. Smart yet versatile, it’s the kind of piece that instantly pulls an outfit together. Similarly, she's selected a chic pinstripe option, leaning towards a relaxed blazer style for more casual, on-the-go days. These soft neutral tones keep any look timeless, while the detailing adds just enough interest to take it from everyday wear to more polished occasions with ease.

Viki’s Style Tip: Choosing the right jacket style for your body shape is really important - for shorter bodied figures like Viki, a boxy style creates beautiful length and proportion.
02. Dresses | Light, Feminine & Effortless
“It’s hard to think about dresses this time of year, but the search for the perfect summer dress has to start early! I look for something that I can wear for lots of different occasions.” - Viki
For dresses, Viki has chosen a chiffon high-neck, long-sleeve maxi dress adorned with soft pastel florals. Floaty and feminine, it captures everything we love about spring dressing. For an even more dressy option, her choice of a gorgeous blue silk look shows how minimalism rules this season. The flowing silhouettes and lightweight fabrics make them ideal for daytime events, celebrations or simply embracing that fresh, new-season feeling.

Viki’s Style Tip: Florals for spring – this might feel a little obvious, but leaning towards a soft, light palette in your early-season wardrobe can help pieces carry not just a month, but all the way from April to September.
03. Jeans | Relaxed Everyday Denim
“Denim doesn’t have to be boring! I like to find a style that has great shape and structure to add something to my everyday looks.” - Viki
Denim is a year-round staple, and Viki’s choice leans into comfort without compromising on style. She’s two wide-leg style jeans, one pair with an elasticated back, offering an effortless fit and relaxed silhouette. Easy to dress up or down, they're the perfect foundation for everyday spring outfits.

Viki’s Style Tip: Jeans may sometimes feel boring, but they can really elevate a basic look. Upgrade your jeans and t-shirt by reaching for a pair that have great structure and shapes to create a more interesting silhouette.
04. Accessories | A Pop of Personality
“I really enjoy creating a simple and sophisticated base outfit, and elevating it with fun accessories. This is about not just wearing your clothes, but styling them!” - Viki
Accessories are where personality shines, and Viki’s pick is all about fun. A burgundy faux-fur shoulder bag adds texture and a bold pop of colour to lighter spring looks. A floral print silk scarf can introduce colour and interest into any basic look. They're playful, statement-making and the perfect way to elevate simple outfits with minimal effort.

05. Footwear | Subtle Sophistication
“I love a classic pair of heels. As someone who is shorter in height, a good court shoe will elongate my leg and make any outfit look effortlessly sophisticated.” - Viki
Rounding out her favourites, Viki opts for a nude suede court stiletto — a true wardrobe classic. Elegant, versatile and understated, it works seamlessly from day to night. The neutral tone keeps it timeless, while the sleek silhouette adds a refined finish to both casual and dressier looks.
