8 Warm Spring Outfits to Wear in Sunny Weather

Spring is a tricky season to navigate if you live in the UK. As I type this, the sun is streaming in through my window and I’m sitting here in a T-shirt, but we’ve been warned that there’s all-day rain and stormy gusts set to swoop in tomorrow. I’m constantly torn between packing on the layers and leaving my trusty knitwear at home—and the range of outfits I’ve passed on the street lately tells me I’m not the only one. I’ve spotted everything from shearling coats to denim shorts this past week alone. But I’m trying to adopt a positive attitude—maybe if we dress for milder temperatures and blue skies, Mother Nature will get the hint and deliver the weather we’ve been longing for.

Care to join me in manifesting a heatwave? Below, I’ve collated eight effortless looks that will help you leave winter firmly in the past. They’re all light on the layers and feature some classic summer fabrics (think linen and cotton) but don’t worry, you won’t end up shivering on your way to work. Featuring spring-appropriate outerwear and the occasional knit, these outfits—courtesy of Instagram’s most stylish—strike the perfect balance. Plus, they can be easily adjusted as we continue into the warmer months. Scroll on to see for yourself.
