In this spring try-on haul, I’m doing a proper wardrobe refresh with new-in pieces from Zara, Mango, River Island and Dissh. I’m sharing what I’ve actually added to my wardrobe recently, chatting through fit and fabric vibes, and how I’m planning to style everything for spring in the UK (because yes, it’s still very much layers-and-a-jacket season in Manchester). You’ll see a mix of elevated basics and more “going-out” pieces—think leather jackets, trenches and macs for that in-between weather, plus satin-and-lace sets and skirts that instantly make an outfit feel a bit more put-together. I also picked up a few staples like a striped shirt, an oversized black tee and a V-neck knit that I know I’ll reach for on repeat. If you’re building a spring capsule but still want a few fun pieces for dinners, events and nights out, this edit is exactly that balance.
