With the arrival of spring, I’ve noticed that everyone is pulling out their favourite pastels and floral pieces. For a lot of us that means finally adding white back into our wardrobe (although I am a huge fan of winter whites and neutrals!) One of the questions you guys have been asking me is how to wear white in the spring, in a fresh new way? If you’re looking for something different than the usual white top white jeans outfit, then this is the perfect cute spring outfit for you!

I love the idea of wearing all white, but I think it’s important to break it up with accessories and contrasts. For my look, I layered a white blazer on top of a pastel t shirt. To really make the look more elegant, I put my Dior D waist belt over. This is an easy way to make your blazer outfit look more stylish. I then chose to wear my favourite pleated white skirt. I love the dramatic effect the outfit has when I add in this skirt, especially when I’m walking (or spinning in my case!) If you wanted to dress this look down, you could swap the skirt for a shorter white mini, white jeans or even white denim shorts! The options are endless!

The key thing to remember when wearing white this spring is to try and add in pops of colour, even if that means a black belt and brown sunglasses. This just makes your outfit stand out more, in the best way possible!

When I first heard that Claire Waight Keller was leaving Chloe and heading to Givenchy, I was incredibly curious to see how her creative vision was going to translate into a new brand. We’ve seen how this can go either way (ahem, did someone say new Celine? ahem) but she did not disappoint; Claire Waight Keller’s Givenchy has quickly become one of my favourite brands to love. Of course, it helps tons that the Duchess of Sussex is a huge fan too but am I allowed to say that I loved the brand even before the debut of Meghan’s wedding dress? (I did I swear!) Either way, when Farfetch asked me to style one of my favourite Givenchy pieces to celebrate the brand’s amazing presence on the red carpet for awards season, I was beyond ecstatic. (I’m not a cool fashion person who can keep it cool, when I feel excitement on the inside it shows!)

Farfetch has a fabulous selection of pieces from Givenchy, including some that are on amazing discount (like this skirt!) and others that are brand new. I’m especially loving the selection of statement hoodies and t-shirts (logomania is going nowhere guys). I wanted to keep things simple, elegant and true to the brand (so gotta add some edge!) so I styled my new skirt with a chic turtleneck, and thigh high boots. For that extra layer, I added in a faux fur jacket. I love the beautiful pleat detailing on this skirt that adds a touch of feminine to an otherwise slick look.

How would you style this skirt? Are there any other Givenchy pieces you are loving?

Getting the most out of your wardrobe in any season is all about clever styling. Your favourite piece doesn’t always have to be constrained to one season whether that’s a gorgeous summer dress or a pleated maxi skirt. As we begin to transition into the colder months, I’m sharing a three-part series on how to transition your wardrobe from summer to fall, starting with your favourite summer skirt. A pleated maxi skirt is a staple in any closet, and when you come to love a piece so much, why should you have to put it away so quickly Today is about how to style a summer skirt in the fall while still looking chic and feeling it too.

Summer To Fall Styling

A maxi or midi pleated skirt is an ultra feminine piece but if you’ve been reading TSS for long enough now you know that I love to create an outfit with contrasts. To add a little bit of edge, I paired my white skirt with another staple in your wardrobe; the leather jacket. I love the look of a masculine piece combined with a feminine one, especially for summer to fall. I wore a tank top inside but really wanted to use the jacket as my top for a unique look. I know that a good quality leather jacket can be expensive, but it’s a purchase that will last you for life and is worth the investment.

Another great variation on this look, especially if you live in a country like India (shout out to my Indian followers!) is to swap the leather jacket for a blazer. You can always wear a bandeau on the inside as well!

I carried on this theme with my accessories. Of course, my current obsession is cowboy boots (get ready to see them A LOT) and they worked so beautifully with the pleated skirt since they aren’t too high. I also added in one more summery touch with my Gas hoop earrings. Truly, this outfit is a mix of my favourite summer pieces with my favourite fall ones!

Would you try this look? How do you transition your summer wardrobe?
