Okay, we're officially confused about the weather. March is technically when spring begins and although we are getting a few more sunnier days, we're still feeling the chill here in the UK. Seriously, Britain—we're ready for the warmer weather. But of course, this is the nature of spring in the UK, and every year, we manage to power through the meteorological mayhem and make it to the other side where hot days await. It'll happen. We promise.
So when it comes to deciding what to wear this March, we're taking a tentative—but no less stylish—approach and offering up a slew of simple outfits that can easily be layered up or dressed down according to your needs. For example, Marina's spring-ready maxi dress and barn jacket combination can be tweaked to add a warmer trench coat when the cooler days creep in, or worn as is through summer too. For a smarter spin, we're looking to Caroline's combination of tailoring that can be worn together for an elevated take, or separated for various outfit combinations.
The secret to their success? All these outfits feature pieces that can be brought out the moment summer hits, and that's what we call getting more bang for your buck. Scroll down to see our full edit of March-ready outfits.
