Statement sweatshirt
It’s time to put the rollnecks and chunky knits away and let your skin breathe this May.
But when you live in the UK you have to err on the side of caution for when the weather inevitably changes.

Enter the statement sweatshirt.
Whether it has a bright colour, a loud stripe or a cheerful slogan, even on the dreariest of days your jumper should lift your mood.
But when the sun does shine, you can whip off your sweatshirt and rest it on your shoulders.
You may have seen this look on your social media feeds or on the likes of the ultrastylish actress Katie Holmes.

Cotton trousers
From cargos to chinos, cotton trousers have quickly replaced jeans this year.
They are more breathable than denim but aren’t as thin as linen textures – so they are great for this time of year when the temperature doesn’t warrant shorts.
PrimarkThese Green Cotton Trousers are just £20 at Primark[/caption]
This versatile pair of cargo trousers from Primark tick the on-trend box but are also so comfortable with an elastic waistband at the back and are made from 100 per cent cotton.
Just slip on with sandals or trainers and a T-shirt and you’re good to go.
Trousers, £20, Primark
Maxi skirt
From Seventies boho babes to Nineties muted minimalists, the maxi skirt has had a varied history in fashion.
But for this year you can have any style you like and they’re brilliant for this time of year.

A fluid skirt with boots or trainers and with sandals on warm days, paired with just a simple top, equals sophisticated style.

Shirt dress
A long-sleeved shirt dress is a woman’s best friend – whatever the weather.
On cooler days, you’ve got your skin covered up from the cold while looking smart enough for the office and stylish enough for a night out.
ZARAOn cooler days, you’ve got your skin covered up from the cold while looking smart enough for the office[/caption]
And for warmer days, it shields your skin from the sunshine.
And the best bit? Any shoe will do.
Pair with a classic court, trainer or your go-to sandals – whatever fits the day best.

Bomber jacket
If your denim jacket has seen better days and your shacket is looking a bit tired, it’s time to try a bomber.
The boxy jackets are huge news this year, with brands like Zara and M&S offering styles that have already sold out.
H&MBoxy jackets are huge news this year[/caption]
When the wind bites, they’re good at keeping the cold at bay, but they’re not as heavy and hot as a coat if the sun pops its head out.
The H&M bomber in cream is great for layering with neutral colours or bold prints like colourful florals, as well as black.

Striped shirt
A striped shirt is one of the most useful items you can have in your wardrobe.
Vertical lines are flattering and timeless, plus it can be worn in endless different ways for different occasions.
