As the Spring Equinox shimmers into focus on the horizon, so too do our thoughts begin to drift towards the longer days and – impossibly distant though it still seems – halcyon days of summer. This year, just as the last, may not be filled with exotic holidays, but the new freshness in the air and the daffodils, snowdrops and crocuses on the ground mean that nothing can dampen our spirits. And we intend to dress to prove it.

Happily, crisp and cheery looks abound on the high street and at the high end, with us training our eyes on stripes, zingy yellows and fresh-as-a-meadow florals. Whether we’re wafting about our own gardens and parks in them or we’ve managed to bag an escape later in the year to another corner of the country, these are clothes we’ll be wearing, all of which have the power to lift the spirits.
