After many months of comfortable joggers and stretch waists, I know many of you are itching to get back into your jeans. Even I, not a huge fan of jeans, have a couple of pairs that will be getting an airing over the next few months.

So what to wear with them? Well they are perfect for outdoor coffees and lunches, worn with layers depending on the weather. But you might also want to wear them on a relaxed evening out too. I've created three outfits with a pair of relaxed Boyfriend jeans to give you some ideas.

Casual Jeans Outfit

First an option for wearing to meet a friend in the park for coffee and cake or a picnic lunch. Paired with comfortable espadrilles and a jacket in case it's a little cool. I have added a basket to carry a blanket and your picnic.

Luxe Investment Jeans Outfit

Add a couple of seasonal trends for a more dressy outfit....

Spring jackets come in lots of shapes, but the blazer is a classic and this one in a gorgeous Rose Pink is more versatile than you might think.

Blazer

A blazer is a wardrobe staple and starting with a neutral colour like navy or camel will pay benefits. Once you have your neutrals covered though, adding an accent colour will expand your wardrobe. You might think a blazer isn't an essential item at the moment, after all we've been stuck at home for so long! But this little number can be dressed up and down as I have shown below.

This pink works on most of us and can be worn with both warm and cool tones. I've paired it with soft olive chinos for a casual meet up with friends (roll on Monday!)

Then with a smarter pair of trousers - perhaps for lunch out later.

Finally for later still when events are back on...

This week's YouTube video is a subset of my Spring Capsule Wardrobe. I've pulled out 7 pieces and created 18 outfits. I wanted to show you how you can create lots of options in your wardrobe, even with a small number of items. It's simply a case of choosing the pieces carefully.

I've used one pair of neutral jeans and the pretty floral skirt for the bottom pieces. For the tops I've chosen a sleeveless silk camisole which can be a little dressy, a short sleeve T-shirt and a long sleeve t-shirt style top. Then I've added 2 cardigans, a lightweight waterfall style and a chunkier cotton knit.

For accessories I've just used one pair of trainers, a scarf and a couple of necklaces.

The Outfits

if you are thinking about investing in some new pieces for your wardrobe and have a favourite designer, you might want to check out The Outnet. Now especially, because they have some fantastic stock at the moment. With many designers collections not having sold well over the last year, you might find the exact piece you were lusting over last season but at a huge discount.

I thought I would give you an example with one of my favourite brands, Vince. While I love the brand, I don't buy often because even though the pieces are beautiful, they have a high price point. But at the moment the Outnet has 4 pages of Vince pieces and many are half price or less. In fact this gorgeous green skirt (which is perfect for this season's pastels trend) is 70% off and the brown silk blend trousers are 53% off!

I've put together a mini capsule wardrobe of Vince pieces and added a pair of Nicholas Kirkwood shoes and a Chloe bag, both also heavily reduced. This is a capsule that looks "this season" but ...

The key to buying a dress - especially at the moment - is finding one that is versatile. One that can be dressed up or down and worn different ways.

As florals are big this season, this one caught my eye. What I love about it is the variety of colours in the print; there are so many that you can pull out to use for finishing the outfit. I have used the blue, pink and cream, but will also wear it with yellow.

Made from lightweight Lenzing Ecovera the dress complies with the stringent sustainability requirements laid down by the EU Ecolabel. So if sustainability is important to you, you can rest assured that both the fabric and production process meet high environmental standards.

A pair of print trousers is a great Spring/Summer wardrobe addition because they can be so versatile. Dress them up or down and use the colours in the print to create your outfits.

I've chosen a wide legged pair in a muted print and styled them for work, casually and a more dressy option. Pieces like this are a sensible buy when we want to get the best cost per wear from every item in our wardrobes.

This week I filmed a video on creating my Spring Capsule Wardrobe. I managed to take some outfit pictures while the weather was being kind. But have put together lots more options here which I hope will give you ideas for your own Spring wardrobe.

A lot of the pieces are old but I have linked some alternatives and any pieces that are sill available.

A shirt dress is such a brilliant wardrobe staple. I have a couple and I create endless outfits with them. Wear layered under and over and even open as a longline jacket.

I've chosen a jersey denim look dress and styled it 3 ways. The key is ringing the changes with accessories.

Stripe sweater // Necklace // Bag // Trainers //

This week I am bringing you 3 Spring outfit ideas. 

OUTFIT 1

Nautical stripes mixed with red is a timeless Spring combination that always looks chic. For this outfit I've opted for an easy to wear jersey skirt in navy and white stripes, mixed with pops of red. I have brought the look up to date by pairing the skirt with a pair of trainers.

OUTFIT 2

For the second outfit I have taken a classic Chanel style tweed jacket and modernised it with wide leg jeans. I have added colour with Chartreuse, one of the mini colour trends of the season.

Jacket // Top // Jeans // Bag // Shoes //

OUTFIT 3

For the final outfit I have used elegant neutrals. All of the pieces in this outfit are so versatile and can be worn with other pieces in your wardrobe. But together they make an incredibly chic but easy to wear look.

Cardigan // Top // Trousers // Bag // Shoes //

I love a striped knit, especially if it's a multi coloured one because it gives you versatility over what to wear it with. They can be such a cheerful addition to your wardrobe and there are always plenty to choose from in Spring. I have picked for - one an absolute bargain and one a cashmere reduction - and shown you how to wear them casually and as smart casual looks. Which is you favourite?
