Spring 2024 Wardrobe Essentials

With Spring well and truly on its way now is a great time to make an appointment and I can help you organise and declutter your wardrobe to highlight what you have, what you don’t need, and what you should invest in. This will make styling outfits simple, requiring minimal effort to maintain an elegant and timeless style.

I like to think of my wardrobe as a puzzle and create a list of staple items that are interchangeable from one season to the next. My suggestion is to keep your wardrobe well balanced with a mixture of versatile basics, such as core neutral pieces (think camisoles, shirts and trousers) and a few statement items that can be mixed and matched together.

The weather in Spring can be temperamental so my ideal spring staples are items that allow you to layer for some warmth and later remove once the weather warms up later in the day. A trench coat, denim jacket, jeans, basic t-shirts, well-fitting trousers and day-to-night dress options are some of my essentials.

This doesn't need to be overwhelming at all! I simplify the whole process with my Wardrobe Edit and Personal Shopping Experience. I will give you an itemised list of items which you can tick off to help you create your ultimate wardrobe. You can go through and see what pieces you already own and what’s missing from your puzzle!

Below are some of my key essentials for my Spring wardrobe. Whilst I won’t list my go to brands here, this is definitely something we discuss during my Wardrobe Edit and Personal Shopping.

I love to purchase items from a variety of different labels, and a variety of price points. And whilst I do of course love to support our amazing Australian fashion industry, I do have a few favourite European labels which do some amazing pieces.

Camisoles

A camisole is a perfect layering option. To start, I would recommend a silk cami, which can be styled in endless ways from day to night. Alternatively, a camisole with a touch of lace adds some femininity under a more structured blazer.

T-Shirts

Having a selection of basic t-shirts in your wardrobe is an absolute must for your capsule wardrobe!

I like to begin with a white, black and grey, as you will find these can be styled with everything and can be carried through from one season to the next.

Bodysuits

Bodysuits are a great alternative to the basic top, making it simple to curate a polished, and elegant outfit. They can be styled with jeans, skirts, trousers and are useful under coats, blazers and jackets. They can be dressed up or down with different accessories to suit your occasion.

Sweatshirts

For me, a sweatshirt is the ultimate comfort piece that can be thrown on with a pair of jeans, tights and a trench for a chic but comfortable look!

Silk Slip Dresses/Skirts/Pants

Slip dresses are one of the easiest items to style. You can style it with a beautiful pair of heels and a blazer for the evening or throw a jumper over the top
for a more casual look. The same goes for slip skirts and pants, they are comfortable, elegant and can be dressed up or down.

Shirts

A good quality white shirt is another capsule wardrobe essential which is easily styled and always looks fresh and sophisticated. Shirts and blouses in a variety of different colours and fabrics make for great transitional layering.

Tailored Pants

A pair of well-fitted tailored pants can be worn with your favourite shirt, knit jumper, or tank top. A matching blazer will see you through from day to night.

The Little Black Dress

A black dress is another essential in your wardrobe. Its a true classic piece that can be styled in multiple ways. A black dress can be easily dressed up for a formal occasion, or styled more casually to wear during the day. Fabrics can include silk, cotton or linen

Blazers

I love a blazer. Its so easy to style over jeans, pants, slip skirts, slip dresses and so much more! Once again this item can take you from school drop-off , to work to drinks and dinner.

Leggings

Leggings are a capsule wardrobe go-to as they are perfect for the days you want to be comfortable. A simple pair of black leggings can be styled with a trench coat, knit jumper, sweatshirt, or shirt for an easy daytime look

Denim

A denim jacket is great for transitional seasons since they are light and can be styled and layered easily over an away of different dresses, skirts and pants. Shackets (a cross between a shirt and a jacket) is also a big trend we are seeing for the Spring season. Of course denim items such as jeans, jumpsuits and shorts are always a staple for their versatility and ease to style. They are comfortable and easy to wear, from the school-run to brunch with friends.

Trench Coats

Trench coats work all year round instantly making any outfit look elegant and timeless. They are perfect for trans seasonal weather. As a first purchase I would recommend going for a black or neutral-tone trench, as they are the most versatile in terms of styling.

Bags

A bag is the ultimate finishing touch to any outfit. Having a selection of bags, from evening clutches to cross-body and totes is a must! And no, they do not need to be designer bags to look elegant and sophisticated!

Shoes

When it comes to shoes, it's optimal to have a variety of different styles such as sneakers, loafers, boots, and heels that you can mix and match to compliment your outfits.
