A great investment. Wear until the weather heats up, then wheel it out again for a/w20 (when colourful, chunky knits will be everywhere). 

Sturdy footwear is essential in temperamental weather, and Dr Martens’ flat ankle boots will go strong for years to come. 

The result of a collaboration between UO and Laura Ashley, this high neck blouse will take you from work to drinks with ease.

Another UO x Laura Ashley piece, this statement jacket will add colour and interest to a simple outfit of jeans and a white T-shirt.

We’re already counting down the days until we can wear floaty dresses without extra layers. For now, team this with a cardi and boots.

These sharp sunglasses are a touch retro with a contemporary edge. The perfect city shades – you’re welcome. 

There’s no time like the present to shop for swimwear – and leopard print is a neutral in our book. Buy now, wear forever.

Still not bought a trench? Now’s your chance. This double-breasted version in muted khaki will slot right into your spring wardrobe.

With a pop of green, this classic trainer will lift any outfit. Wear with jumpsuits, trousers, midi skirts… whatever takes your fancy.

Neutral cargo trousers will transition brilliantly into summer. Simply swap your trainers and jumpers for flat sandals and plain T-shirts. 

Slip skirts continue to be a wardrobe staple for work and weekends, and this patterned version will breathe new life into your office look. 

Sleeves remain a focal point for s/s 2020 and beyond, and this billowy blouse is a nuanced version of the classic white shirt.

Our love of a chuck-on dress know no bounds, especially when it’s size-inclusive and comes in a fresh emerald floral print.

We love the simplicity of this trans-seasonal piece. Wear with light-coloured denim, long sleeve T-shirts for the foreseeable future. 

Bags are pared-back this season (call it the Bottega Veneta effect), and this relaxed, sumptuous shape will elevate the simplest of looks. 

The berry and camel tones of this ribbed beanie remind us of tea, scones and jam. Deliciously cosy.

This slimline knit is perfect for layering – wear under the midi dresses languishing at the back of your wardrobe.

Nope, it’s not too early to snap up your summer shoes. These padded black sandals are as comfy as they’re cool. 

Big bags are in for SS20, and this velvet-trimmed checked shopper will brighten up gloomy mornings.

Short suits will be big for SS20. Wear with a crisp T-shirt and leather city shorts to nail the trend. 

Inspired by Danish designer Cecilie Bahnsen, flowing smock-style tops and dresses are here to stay for 2020.

Well worth the investment, this slick faux leather shacket is a versatile addition to any wardrobe.

Barely-there brown leather sandals go with everything – and you’ll actually be able to walk in them. Win-win.

With balloon sleeves, a creamy shade and delicate embroidery, this shirt is an elegant twist on a classic.
