The CF Checklist: March

It’s hello to spring jackets and florals, and bye-bye to cumbersome winter coats and boots. New season (and sunshine), we are so ready for you…

From Fabrizio Viti’s daisy appliqué bag to Loewe’s patchwork denim jacket, the mood for March is refreshingly upbeat. We’re celebrating March’s Spring Edit with pastels, prints and some fresh new silhouettes.

Here are the ultimate pieces to kick off your spring in style.


THE SHIRRED SHIRT

A ‘normal’ shirt just won’t cut it for the new season. Up your blouse game with some pretty major sleeves. Cult label Khaite’s shirred sleeves and dramatic flounced cuffs add all the drama and detail. Crafted from mid-weight satin crepe, this ivory-white blouse features a neat point collar, buttoned front placket and curved hem. Tuck it into your favourite boyfriend jeans and let those flouncy sleeves do all the talking. 

THE DAISY BAG

‘She loves me, she loves me… a lot’. Spring just isn’t spring without daisies. We love the kitsch daisy appliqué detail on Fabrizio Viti's black Donna cage bag. The bucket shape and detachable shoulder strap may be practical, but the cutesy hit of blooms make it oh-so playful. Wear it slung over your shoulder with a neutral mini dress and biker boots to add a feminine touch to your outfit. 

THE FLORAL MAXI

When you can’t decide if you want spring gingham or florals, do both. Rixo’s Zadie dress features a clever hand-painted pattern – a checked design interspersed with mini black florals that’s more cool-girl than uber-girly. In a versatile midi length with light, flowy skirt, it’s the ultimate transitional piece for spring. Start off with a leather jacket and ankle boots and switch it up with sandals to flash your ankles in the warmer months. 

THE STATEMENT SWEATER

It’s not mild enough to ditch the sweater (yet) so if you’re still doing chunky knits, make it spring appropriate. Cosy up in this statement 3.1 Phillip Lim number that’s splashed with pastel hues in an abstract floral print. With a relaxed silhouette, high neckline and dropped-shoulder sleeves, wear it slouchy and oversized to pare down a structured skirt or fitted trousers. 

THE PRINT BROGUES

Stash your clunky winter boots in shoe closet hibernation and put a spring in your step (literally) with a fun new brogue. Rogue Matilda’s Fizz Wizz suede numbers are part preppy, part party. The peach pastel suede is contrasted with an eye-catching leopard print panel in textured pony-effect. Complete with luxe silk effect laces, they’re made for sunny days strolling beach fronts and eating gelato. 

 

 

THE SUNDROP EARRINGS

When every drop of sun counts, make for Bibi Marini’s Sundrop statement earrings. Inspired by beading and weaving techniques, they’re made for pepping up spring outfits and packing in your suitcase for vacation looks. Expertly crafted from crystals and 24K gold-plated brass, the contrasting, interlocking spirals are all the bold colour you need in your life, so wear them with a plain top and wait for the compliments to roll in.

 

THE DENIM JACKET

If you’re over your black leather biker jacket and want something a little bit Woodstock, check out Loewe’s denim jacket of dreams. With random patches of cotton and silk-blend in various contrasting prints – a nod to the label's passion for crafts – it’s made to look as though it’s been customised by hand. Throw yours on over everything from summer dresses to jeans and slogan band tees.
