Spring is here, marking a welcome shift into the new style season. While unpredictable weather is almost always guaranteed, this time of year is the ideal opportunity to shop new pieces for your wardrobe and home.
Think: clever layering, natural fabrics, brighter colours and transitional styles to see you through this season and beyond. From high-quality homeware and long-lasting shirts, to weather-proof footwear – keep reading to explore the top brands to shop for a spring refresh.
SANVT
Born in Munich, SANVT has a simple aim – to make everyday essentials the best they can be, with plenty of timeless pieces that rebel against fast fashion, encompassing perfect cuts, exceptional comfort and high quality. Straying from the norm by swerving trend-led styles and seasonal drops, SANVT has perfected capsule wardrobe pieces. Materials are sourced carefully, and all production emissions are offset through local forest protection projects.
For spring, the brand is on hand to shake up your wardrobe, with effortless styles in clean, neutral colours. The unisex T-shirt comes in a wide range of colours, including a staple black and crisp white. Made from 100 per cent premium ELS cotton, and available in shorter, regular and longer lengths, it’s a classic year-round essential.
For a stylish layer, SANVT’s sweatshirt collection is crafted from ultra-soft 400 GSM French Terry fabric. Alternatively, the unisex long sleeve polo shirt, available in sizes XS-XXL, offers an elevated twist on a spring staple, thanks to the structured drape and real mother-of-pearl buttons.
Asket
Sustainably-focused and built around a single, permanent collection, Asket’s garments are made in Europe from natural fibres. With custom sizing, lifetime repair and take-back services, this brand is passionate about core wardrobe pieces that are timeless essentials.
Five years on from the brand’s birth, the first three women’s styles have been introduced – with refined fits that are designed to move with you through work, play, and all the things life throws your way. The regular jeans are the perfect straight-leg pair, crafted from 100 per cent organic cotton, for denim that is milled, cut, sewn and washed in Italy.
Supima cotton is twice as strong as regular cotton, which is why it’s been chosen as the base for Asket’s poplin shirt – a staple in any workwear wardrobe, that looks great with slim chinos and freshly-polished shoes.
Wax London
Discover clothes with character when you shop at Wax London – a family brand that focuses on sourcing unique weaves, fabrics, textures and patterns from sustainable mills and selected partners. Taking inspiration from the team’s travels – and the talented craftspeople they met along the way – paired with the brand’s British heritage, Wax London offers standout pieces to slot into your wardrobe.
Layering is always a good idea when you’re contending with British weather, and the whiting check overshirt is one of the brand’s signature pieces. Easy to wear, this standout piece will become something you reach for time and again.
Meanwhile, those who are already thinking ahead to sunnier skies will love the Didcot multicolour printed short-sleeve shirt, or the Porto doodle crochet knitted shirt.
MYRQVIST
Now in its 10th year, MYRQVIST crafts high-quality footwear in designs that stand the test of time (and trends), without costing the earth. The brand’s Scandinavian design and passion for attention to detail remain at the core of every style, along with the very best of materials from top tanneries in the world.
Loved for its versatility, the loafer can be dressed down with a pair of chino shorts and a billowing shirt in the summer, and paired with a suit for a fail-safe spring wedding look. Myrqvist’s Brännö II is crafted in neutral suedes to embody Scandinavian summer ease, featuring a soft upper, full leather lining, and a bespoke rubber sole.
Keeping your feet cool, the Lars cotton loafer socks are cleverly designed to remain completely invisible under your shoes, while the ribbed Oscar cotton socks provide reliable comfort and a secure fit throughout the day, and can be worn with almost anything.
Dusty Deco
It’s not just our clothing that could do with a spring refresh at this time of year, but our homes, too. There to assist is Dusty Deco, a brand founded a decade ago in Sweden, built around a carefully curated selection of furniture, interior objects, and art. The founders have a background in the fashion industry, so their eye for unique, bold style has been instrumental in creating a catalogue of pieces that are brilliantly excessive and eye catching.
The brand’s recent collaboration with Matthew Williamson is a tribute to maximalism, with designs that ensure the room acts as the conversation starter. Think wild sofas and brightly-coloured rugs.
For smaller touches that will bring a welcome refresh to an already beautiful space, Dusty Deco’s blankets, candleholders and mirrors offer depth and a new focal point, while serving a practical purpose.
