And how to prepare for Spring styling
The key to a capsule wardrobe is versatility. No matter what season you’re in, what events your day has or who you’re planning on seeing, a capsule wardrobe will work for it all. Fashion and lifestyle influencer, Purdey Lines, is here to let us know what is filling her capsule wardrobe, and what you should look to invest in.
“As we move into Spring, we look to light layers – especially in the UK where the weather doesn’t quite know what it’s doing. I’m reaching for thin jumpers to style over my t-shirts, and my classic trench coat is taking centre stage as the perfect light outerwear for Spring. We’ve seen the maxi skirt make a return this year, so I’m eager to trial this in my wardrobe as an adult! While I wouldn’t usually jump on a trend, I feel this is one that will be around for a long time and is super versatile for many seasons to come.
