Spring is the perfect time of year to start wearing short sleeves, and this handy Izabel London style guide will help you get it just right this season.
We all know spring can be strange when it comes to weather. One moment it’s sunny and feels like summer, and the next you’re hiding from April showers from the comfort of your sofa. With weather so unpredictable, it’s no wonder dressing for spring is tricky.
So, what’s our top tip to help you conquer springtime style? Simply fill your wardrobe with short sleeve tops and dresses, of course.
From blouses for the office to midi dresses for the weekend, you can’t go wrong with our hand-picked short sleeves edit for spring. These transitional styles will create endless outfit options for all weather conditions, so you can face every day in style.
Comfortable t-shirts are perfect for layering up this spring – and thanks to short sleeves, you won’t overheat in your favourite knitwear. Wear them solo in the sunny moments of spring, then add a simple cardigan or jumper over the top for cool-weather days.
Choose from flattering options such as simple fitted t-shirts, wrap tops, and tunics for a figure-slimming look. Give your favourite cardigans a whole new look by swapping the plain t-shirt beneath for a matching or contrast colour. Don’t be afraid to experiment with vibrant prints such as polka dots and florals.
Blouses and shirts are perfect for days at work, as well as weekend plans, when you want to look relaxed yet effortlessly stylish. Wear a simple short sleeve blouse to look the part at your desk, or leave it unbuttoned over a relaxed t-shirt or vest for a laid-back layered look.
If your office runs warm, keep cool and comfortable thanks to our breathable clothing edit. It includes a range of blouses and shirts made from super-soft fabrics such as viscose, cotton, and linen blends; helping to keep you cool even during a busy morning commute. You can also get extra ventilation with semi sheer mesh, crochet, or Broderie Anglaise fabrics.
Dresses
Dresses are the ultimate wardrobe staple for spring, whether you’re on-duty or off-duty. The opportunities for layering are endless! Try styling tights and slouchy socks with midi dresses, or layer a pair of slim blue jeans under a tunic dress. You can finish the look with a jumper for extra warmth or just drape a cardigan over your shoulders.
For special occasions such as spring weddings or Christenings, choose a tummy-flattering wrap dress with short sleeves and then layer over a smart blazer or jacket. You’ll stay cool while you dance the night away, without getting cold during the ceremony.
If your wardrobe is full of dresses already, try a short sleeve jumpsuit or a playsuit instead. They’re comfortable and versatile, making them as ideal for a wedding as they are a day at work. Opt for relaxed short sleeves with wide legs to stay comfy and cool in all weather conditions. Wrap fits and empire waists do an effortless job of flattering your figure and elongating your legs, so you’re sure to feel as glamorous as you look.
