Over the last couple of years it’s safe to say my style has been built solely on comfort. Like so many, working from home more often has meant leaving the house less, even after the lockdowns were lifted. Living in Scotland and being the sort of person who feels the chill in even the slightest of summer breezes, means that, when I do venture out, I often have to wrap up and make practicality a priority. Aside from the odd dress or skirt-and-jumper combination, I’ve spent more time than I’d like to admit in joggers—and not fancy ones at that. Comfortable they may be, but wearing them day in and day out made me feel as if I’d lost my sense of style.
While I’ve grown fond of them, and will probably still turn to them on particularly chilly days, I’ve decided that in 2022 I’m vowing to be more experimental with my outfits. To equip me with all the new season inspiration I need, I’ve started archiving some of my favourite spring outfits I spot as I scroll on Instagram. So good are the ensembles I found, I decided to share them with you, too— you can thank me later.
Below, you’ll find an edit of the 63 spring-ready outfit ideas I intend on copying. Keep scrolling to see them all…
