TRANSITIONS: THE APRIL DIARIES

Hectic weather wreaking havoc on our wardrobe plans, cold to hot, wind to showers, but we are still set to spring - here's how.

On cooler days, the classic trench coat and the snuggly-warm varsity jacket were our best friends, clever layering was a more than useful skill, and pack-a-parkas became a permanent fix that had our handbags bulging. But finally we could move out in shirt-and-blazer combos or a denim jacket thrown over a single layer. True, dark colourways seem to have dominated but you could still get creative with flashes of colour, cool morifs and diverse styles from office smart to gothic biker, from crazy print lady to geek noire - you'll see.
