Radical seasonal wardrobe overhauls are not sustainable — neither for the planet nor our bank balances — so instead consider buying less and buying better. Small tweaks paired with timeless designs are the way to go. The new wardrobe staples incorporate great outerwear (look to Ten C, Studio Nicholson and Stone Island for inspiration), lightweight knits and tried-and-trusted denim (Cos and Arket always deliver covetable styles). As for footwear, think loafers and deck shoes. These are pieces to see you through this spring — and hopefully many, many more.
