5 of our favourite country-style fashions for spring
Discover the latest trends in casual country style this season…
1 Turn heads in a trilby
The season's must-have headwear transforms every outfit into an elegant ensemble. Go for a bespoke design in finest fur felt, hand-trimmed with colourful pheasant feathers for a contemporary spin on a country classic.
Bespoke trilby, £275, Really Wild Clothing Co.
2 Opt for a jolly jacket
This seafarer-style jacket epitomises the season's maritime trend. Inspired by traditional fisherman's coats, it's waterproof, windproof and comes in a happy shade of sunshine yellow - stylish and practical, too!
Long Seafolly Jacket, £110, Seasalt.
3 Feel feminine
Forget typical sailor stripes, shades of crisp white and navy blue feature on floral patterns this season for a feminine take on the ever-popular nautical trend. Achieve the look by pairing a pretty ditsy print blouse with soft denim jeans.
Bloom print top, £45, skinny jeans in Optic White, £65, both Crew Clothing Company.
4 Delight in denim
If you buy just one piece this season, make it a classic denim jacket. Versatile, lightweight and on trend, it's the perfect cover up for spring - just as easily teamed with a chic party dress as with this casual long-sleeve t-shirt and dark jeans combo.
