While spring may have arrived in the official sense, the current weather leaves much to be desired. Between all the sporadic sunny days and the consistent threat of April showers, it’s no wonder I’m feeling a little reluctant to step full force into my warm-weather wardrobe. That’s not to say I’m not anxious to embrace many of the Spring/Summer 2025 trends, but rather that I want to bide my time before committing to the big closet switch-over and pulling my spring dresses out of seasonal retirement—just in case.

So, until then, I’m looking for ways to ease the transition—and there’s one thing in particular that has been making my wardrobe feel a little more warm-weather ready. If you thought waistcoat suits were firmly reserved for wedding guest dressing and wearing to the office, I’m here to change your mind, because I believe a waistcoat suit is the perfect transitional piece to add into your rotation right now, that feels both pared back yet spring-approved in equal measure.

And, it seems I’m not the only one who thinks so. A quick scroll through my Instagram feed reveals that many of my favourite fashion influencers have switched out their traditional trouser suits and knitwear in favour of the coordinating two-piece as well.
