You’ll wear these workhorse buys on repeat …

What are those in the know coveting as new season staples? For Aoife Mulvenna (@aoifemulvenna), it’s all about luscious shades of cream and yellow, such as Spanish knitwear label Babaà’s cropped knit or, for trainer-obsessives, Studio Nicholson’s Byrd canvas pair. We love her take on everyday tailoring: look for a spring waistcoat that’s got a fit and flare shape. Sézane‘s does the trick.

When it comes to denim, in which direction is the style pendulum swinging? “I’m a big fan and for spring I’m investing in barrel leg jeans,” says style influencer Kim Turkington (@kimturkington_). Her go-to is Frame’s The Bubble jeans, noted for a curved leg shape that’s the right side of wearable.

Super stylist Allison Bornstein believes you don’t always have to lean into the ‘timeless’ theme. “It’s a trap,” Bornstein says on Instagram. “I think the idea of ‘timeless’ has actually become a trend itself … The best way to feel good about your looks throughout the years is to wear things that you really love,” she advises. For instance, the pieces that form the basis of your looks, or are key components of your capsule wardrobe, could be vintage or athleisure-inspired.

Speaking of sports luxe, Gabrielle Luksaite (@gabsluk) is firmly in the ‘yes’ camp. “For me, this upcoming season is all about sporty chic. Pairing oversized, wide-leg trousers with a cool, nylon tech jacket and some heeled mules. I am also focusing on more interesting colour combinations, such as royal blue and camel. On the top of my wishlist is a V-neck wool jumper from Róhe – a great brand for some special capsule pieces,” she says. Shop the best spring capsule buys below.
