It’s that time of year again; the wardrobe is looking tired and dreary, like it can’t wait to rid itself of the too-much worn black winter coat, the uggs that look like they’ve been around for far too long, and the dull colours. But it’s too cold to switch to the spring blazer and t-shirt just yet, all the pastels in store just look plain wrong when it still feels like we’re in the depths of winter – that’s where the trusty mac comes in. Buy one big enough to fit a top and cardi or a soft jumper under, and it will last you right through till next September….I love this one from Top Shop (multistitch €114). Great fit, great colour; it will go with everything, and get your wardrobe ready for that spring transition.
