Spring Steals: Creating A Cool Capsule Wardrobe

It may still be wet, dark and miserable, but if you’re a fan of fashion, you may have noticed that shops and magazines are full of the joys of spring. With a glimpse of lighter, warmer days on the horizon, it’s never too early to start planning what to wear when the new season arrives. It’s no secret that staying on trend can be pricey, but you don’t have to spend a fortune to be en vogue. Here are some simple, affordable ways to build a cool capsule wardrobe fit for spring.

Get the basics right

Basics form the foundation of any capsule wardrobe. If you get the basics right, you only need to invest in a few key pieces every season to look and feel fabulous. Basics are items that are versatile, classic and hard-wearing. Take the pair of black skinny jeans you can wear to almost any occasion and the white blouse that never fails to take you from the office to the bar. As spring approaches, focus on pieces that will make you look stylish while also ensuring that you’re comfortable. At this time of year, the weather can be unpredictable, so layers are always a good investment. A light mac is ideal for spring when showers appear out of nowhere, and it’s wise to swap chunky knits for lightweight crew neck jumpers and long-sleeved tees. Patterns like florals and stripes are always a hit in the spring and summer months. When you’re building your basics collection, consider both a work and casual wardrobe and think about the kinds of clothes you like to wear and the types of occasion you’re likely to need to cater for. Once you’ve got your basics pinned down, you can adapt and modify them to build a base for any outfit.

Accessorise

Accessorising is a brilliant way to stay on-trend without overspending. You can use accessories such as hats, scarves, brooches, jewellery, bags, and shoes to create completely different looks even when you’re wearing the same clothes. If you need accessories and you don’t want to splash much cash, take a look at www.cards2cash.com and shop around for bargains. As spring approaches, swap woollen fedoras and bobble hats and heavyweight scarves for berets, baker boy caps and cotton scarves, and opt for bright colours and pastel shades when choosing bags. Mix and match your accessories to embrace different trends and dress classic outfits up or down.

Tick off a trend or two

If you love fashion, one of the most exciting things about a new season is the introduction of a raft of new trends to try out. When you’ve got your basics and your accessories, invest in a few statement pieces to embrace seasonal trends. This spring, opt for a printed daisy jacket rather than a plain blazer, swap a navy trench for a blush pink, beige or lilac duster and learn to love plaid.
