Fashion Diary: April 2022

A pair of worn-out jeans, a polo shirt, caps and sandals – the revival of the early 1990s trends continues into spring with easy essentials featuring sporty, minimalist, relaxed references. Skip into spring with styles suited to city leisure or active days in nature.

A casual yet elegant white shirt is a seasonless wardrobe staple to wear and cherish forever. The Liv shirt from Norwegian brand Julie Josephine offers a feminine, classic silhouette. It looks nonchalant and chic tucked into jeans with rolled-up sleeves and paired with minimalist gold or silver jewellery.

Keep an oversized, comforting crewneck handy all spring – and summer too. The white and navy striped crewneck from Swedish Soft Goat, knitted in a delicate cotton and cashmere blend, looks smart thrown over the shoulders and tied around the neck. It is ideal for crisp spring days when it’s not warm enough to go without a sweater, yet not cold enough to keep it on all day.

With miniskirts being one of the biggest trends for spring, opt for one with a washed denim look for a casual 1990s vibe. Pair with white trainers, tennis socks and a chunky sweater through spring. Sporty, cute and comfy.

This is a two-in-one kind of jacket as it is reversible with forest green harlequin quilt on one side and soft, beige teddy material on the other. The Summer House Jacket from Danish H2O Fagerholt works as nicely with jeans, a shirt and wellies at the cabin as it does with a flowy dress for sunny café hangouts.

The versatile options of a shirtand-jeans combo are endless. Wear the shirt open and the jeans a size too big for an everyday look as suggested by Danish Samsøe & Samsøe. As for shoes, slip into leather sandals that take you through the upcoming warmer months with a casual, sporty ambience.

A light cotton coat is a must-have for spring. It is perfect for layering when the temperatures swing between lingering winter and full-on summer. This dark olive Acne Studios coat has a relaxed fit with pleating at the back and a buckled belt for events that call for a more fitted silhouette.
