The last couple of Winter’s the knitted dress has had a resurgence but it’s updated for 2022. These easy to throw on dresses can be worn for work, weekend, the school run or out for evening all depending on your footwear. I wear mine with trainers and boots, with bare legs right now and thick black tights in the colder weeks. I love that it keeps me warm when working from home, I can pop on a blazer for work appointments and then a leather biker for evenings out. It’s so versatile you will wonder what you did without one!

What’s a co-ord I hear you say? It is two piece outfits that match either in print, colour or fabric. This season a co-ord is a must-have. I love the versatility of one, when you wear it together it’s a super stylish outfit, but the pieces can also be worn separately with other pieces in your wardrobe to make up lots more outfits.
Multi-wear co-ords can be dressed up or dressed down for all body shapes, styles and occasions. Requiring minimal styling but arguably causing maximum impact, they’ll not only halve your getting ready time but will also help solve the conundrum of what to wear. First imagined by Coco Chanel in the 1920s, contemporary co-ords have their roots in her instantly recognisable matching tweed cardigan jackets and skirts. For SS22, they come in all shapes, sizes and styles – observed on this season’s catwalks.
Matchy matchy sets are very much on the 2022 style agenda so get yours now.

Wondering what to get this season to bring your wardrobe upto date, well don’t fear here is my Top 5 pieces to invest in and last through Summer.
STRIPE SHIRT
Stripes are everywhere this season, see my blog post ‘Bold Spring stripes’ for more inspiration. But the stripe shirt is the wardrobe hero for this whole year. Wear it tucked into jeans, loose with skirts, over swimwear or open with smart trousers, this versatile piece will ensure it becomes your uniform for the coming weeks (well it is mine!).
NECK SCARVES
The newest accessory that you add to any outfit, but mainly with shirts as above, jumpsuits and to add styling detail to plain t-shirts and blazers.
CREAM /WHITE SHOES
Something that instantly updates your outfit and makes it look more Spring like are lighter coloured shoes. The trend for cream of white footwear has been growing for a while and this is a great time to invest in something that will also work through Autumn.
DENIM
Denim is having a comeback, especially in shirts and dresses this season. Pair the shirts with smart trousers, skirts or hanging loose over vests.
SHIRT DRESSES
The shirt dress is uncomprimising and a wardrobe staple in anyones wardrobe, update it with stripes, prints or bright colours this season.
Co-ord set from Mango
Stripes never go out of style and this Spring they are even more popular than ever. But it doesn’t have to be confined to the faithful breton, they can be found on everything this season from trousers to shirts and even shoes. It’s a great way to inject some colour into your wardrobe without having to be too bold with colour blocking and stripes can update any outfit.
