Our We Try Before You Buy series aims to take the stress out of shopping and eliminate the number of post office visits you make each month to return failed online orders. We test new-season buys and styling ideas so you don’t have to. Here, we’re letting you know what’s actually worth investing in or styling tricks you can re-create with pieces you already own.
Not to be very British here and immediately turn the conversation to the weather, but this year, it feels like the change of seasons happened overnight, leaving me a little unprepared when it comes to spring outfits. If anyone else is wondering where all of their spring clothes are hiding and what exactly you wear when you don’t need tights, a scarf and boots, I’m here to help you out as ever with our We Try Before You Buy franchise. I think this might be my favourite yet, as our team called in as many samples of clothes, bags and shoes as we could squeeze into our office space in order to give you a rundown of the best outfit trends for spring.
The overwhelming result was that our editors are into colours right now. Instead of pastels or anything too sugary as you might expect for spring, we gravitated towards colours where the pigment is supersaturated, such as bright pink, orange, electric blue, red and grassy green. Several of us opted for bold colour pairings, such as green and blue and bright pink and orange, which is an easy way to make an impact. It’s not all about attention-seeking brights, though, as we’ve also tried some simple, easy spring outfits, such as a Breton jumper and jeans and comfortable knitted co-ords.
