Indie Sleaze might be back, but baggy jeans still reign supreme. We love low-slung silhouettes that puddle over the shoes for the perfect effortless fit (except when it’s raining).

Leather jacket season is our favourite season! The leather jacket is the quintessential transitional leather outer layer, and therefore a fundamental piece in your spring wardrobe. This year, boxy silhouettes and distressed finishes are all the rage.

Spring is also the perfect season to rock white sneakers! Convenient and versatile, a good pair of white sneakers is guaranteed to take you very far (literally). We love New Balances for their retro/sporty look and comfortable sole.

Whether denim, cotton, gingham, or satin, midi dresses are perfect for spring, especially when paired with the aforementioned boxy leather jacket, driving loafers, or white sneakers. And when (sadly) winter makes its return, there are plenty of ways to keep wearing your midi dress even when it’s cold.

Mules, clogs, and open-back shoes are our favourite things to wear this season. Leather and suede are the materials to look out for: slip-on loafers for the office and Birkenstock Bostons over the weekend.
