7 Minimalist Spring Outfits I’m Definitely Going to Copy

Every time spring comes along, I get so tempted by all the joyful prints, colours and ruffles on offer. In an alternative world, my wardrobe would be full of them. The problem is I’m very much a minimalist dresser at heart, and although I love bright, bold looks on other people, over the decade I’ve worked in fashion, I’ve learnt that what makes me feel most confident and myself is a pared-back capsule full of classics that all work together effortlessly. 

As you’d expect, then, my wardrobe is full of pieces like button-down shirts, blue jeans, relaxed tailoring, simple dresses, T-shirts and knits that I layer up or down depending on the season. By their very nature, everything pretty much goes together, but it doesn’t stop me feeling a little uninspired at the beginning of each season when I’m trying to think of exciting new outfit combinations. Is it just me, or does anyone else completely blank on what they wore every day last spring?
