This past winter might have felt as though it went on forever, but spring is finally here. Blue skies are returning. The days are longer. Temperatures are getting warmer. A new season calls for a new wardrobe edit. It’s time to put away your down jackets and thick knits. This spring, think lighter jackets and overshirts as top layers, layered silhouettes and elevated staples to carry you through to summer.

 Ft. Acne Studios, Burberry and the new Miu Miu menswear collection, this is your spring wardrobe refresh, sorted.

This season, start with an overshirt. It’s the easiest call you’ll make. Go for Burberry. The Oakwell Overshirt does the heavy lifting for any look. Oversized and made from lightweight cotton, it’s going to become part of your regular rotation. And the subtle take on the house’s check design? It’s a quietly luxe finishing touch.

Elsewhere, we rate Acne Studios’ Twill Bomber Jacket. It’ll finish your outfit with the quiet Scandi cool that has led to the label developing a cult following. The drawcord at the waist pulls it together, but the leather collar makes it pop. Represent’s Legacy Harrington Jacket, a FLANNELS exclusive, channels the brand’s streetwear credentials with graphic prints to the front and back. It’s an easy pick that will keep you cosy on cooler days but works just as well in warmer weather.

Then there’s Miu Miu’s Bicolour Fleece. Yes, a fleece. But it earns its place in your spring line-up. It nods to classic sportswear and keeps you comfortable without adding bulk. It sits easily over the top of a layered edit without overwhelming, and it’s dropped shoulders provide a slouchy look. It just works, whatever the day’s plans are.

Denim might be a year-round staple, but don’t let that stop you from switching up your edit this spring. When it comes to jeans, Acne Studios is our go-to. Its Trompe L’Oeil Jeans stand out with an all-over 3-D effect, delivering a worn-in feel that never goes out of style. They’re cut wide through the legs for a baggy fit that channels that laid-back Scandi vibe. If you like your denim darker, we always rate Stone Island. Its recent Denim Research capsule collection caught our eye, especially its straight fit jeans. The deep indigo rinse lifts any outfit and the reworked compass logo at the waistband adds a distinctive finish.

Jeans sorted. Now for the jackets. Miu Miu's Denim Blouson Jacket is where to start. The sand-blasted finish. The contrasting soft, ribbed trims. The loose fit that keeps the mood relaxed. There’s a Y2K edge to it that still feels distinctly now. It’ll work for your morning commute and nights out with friends. The embroidered logo on the chest is the perfect finishing touch. Acne Studios continues the printed denim theme with its Trompe L'Oeil Jacket. With the slightly cropped fit that reads current, it pushes distressed denim further. The Torn Scribble print does the heavy lifting: bold rips and hand-drawn scribbles that make the jacket feel lived-in before you've even put it on.

Spring requires lighter layers that can be easily shrugged on and off; allowing you to quickly adapt to changing weather – and plans. This year, we’re backing getting experimental with shirting. A slightly oversized option from Fendi or Acne Studios works as a casual, lightweight jacket but can also be quickly smartened up for evening plans. Looking for something with a softer handle? Stone Island, Our Legacy and more essential designers are all offering their own lightweight, playful knitwear that was designed with spring weather in mind.

Your day-to-day go-tos deserve attention with the arrival of the new season. These are the pieces that you’ll live in, that you’ll reach for over and over.

Update your tees to start with. Represent has you covered. Its Owners Club T-Shirt is a firm favourite. A boxy cut with dropped shoulders delivers a slouchy vibe made for lazy days or coffee runs. And the faded colourway brings that vintage mood. Likewise, Acne Studios nods to the same vibe. The scuffed 1996 logo, the washed-out hue, the subtle frayed neckline: it looks effortlessly worn-in.

If you want something with more length, go for Miu Miu’s Striped Jersey T-Shirt. The loose fit and long sleeves make it an easy weekend staple and the chest pocket adds a functional touch. Spring is also the perfect time of year to invest in a polo. Turn to Burberry once more. Its Cody Check Polo Shirt stands out, especially in red-brown. Slim through the body, it’s flattering without becoming too tight, and it’s finished with the label’s signature archival check for a hit of luxe sophistication. And if your taste leans sportier, go for Vivienne Westwood’s Striped Rugby Polo. The two-tone stripes are a classic touch, and the contrast collar and cuffs add a sharp finishing touch.

Elsewhere, hoodies are ideal on colder days. Fear of God Essentials’ ‘90s Hoodie recalls the decade with a roomy fit and bold branding across the chest. Jacquemus pares it back, with the Gross Grain Hoodie. It brings warmth without bulk and lets the low-key logo land without shouting.

When it comes to trousers, cover all your bases. Start with Burberry. Its Duncan Straight Leg Trousers will do a lot of the heavy lifting. Subtly elevated with a textured take on the house’s signature check, you’ll be wearing them at the office, street markets, the pub. Everywhere. Or try the label’s Cotton Cargo Trousers for a more relaxed moment. They’ll style easily into your off-duty rotation thanks to the pared back colourway and subtle taping at the waist (ft. the check, of course).

If you’re spending the weekend at home, invest in a pair of joggers. Represent’s Owner Club Joggers are our pick. In rich almond, they add warmth to your look without demanding attention. They’ll move with you through the day and feature fading at the waist, keeping to spring’s worn-in mood. Meanwhile, Rick Owens x Moncler’s Drawstring Pants have been on our radar. Made from taffeta with a straight cut through the legs, they’re an easy choice that goes with anything.

If the dress code reads formal, invest in Dolce & Gabbana. Their Gabardine Trousers feel built for special occasions. Spring weddings. Black tie events. A day at the races. They never miss.

Now that the temperature’s gone up, your accessories rotation can graduate from purely practical into prioritising play, while remaining functional. Over at Acne Studios, they’ve lent the classic roomy tote an urban-ready update in the form of a graffiti print. Ideal for assimilating with your surroundings on all-day city strolls. We’re all looking forward to spending long hours lazing in the sun, but even that low-key activity requires its own equipment. The solution takes the form of the classic baseball cap, lent an elevated update in the form of logo detailing from both Gucci and Jacquemus. Completing the look with statement shades from both Burberry and Montblanc ensures you keep your cool when the heat is on.
