Spring Has Arrived in London—5 Chic Jumper Outfits I’ll Be Wearing In Place of Coats

After months of rainy days, grey skies and wrapping ourselves in endless layers, spring is finally here. With the days slowly getting longer and the weather generally improving, the season of opting for much lighter clothing has begun. However, anyone in the UK knows that just because the calendar says, ‘spring’ does not mean that we’re guaranteed sunshine and warm days from now on. In fact, if recent years are anything to go by, the truly hot weather won’t make an appearance for a few months now. So whilst we’re all probably very eager to switch our our heavy outerwear and fully embrace warm-weather pieces, we’re still currently in need of the perfect layer to add to our outfits.

Enter the versatile but stylish jumper—the ultimate transitional staple. Light enough for the slightly milder temperatures we’re about to face, but still cosy enough to protect us against icy morning breezes, a jumper is key to getting the most out of your spring/summer outfits as early as possible the year.

Whether you choose to throw in over a button-up linen shirt and jeans when the wind speeds up or simply throw in over your shoulders with your favourite midi dress when the sun makes an appearance, a jumper will be the ultimate spring layering piece this season. And let’s not forget the practical side to carrying around a jumper, with it being a lot easier to take on-the-go than a bulkier winter coat.
