Style Notes: Nothing says "new season" quite like a small accessorising update or two. Headbands have replaced warmer headgear as the fashion set's top outfit topper for early 2019, with velvet and satin padded styles proving to be the leader of the pretty pack.

Style Notes: This year's statement earrings are basically hair clips—the more barrettes, the better.

Style Notes: If waving goodbye to 60 deniers seems daunting, take a two-step approach to ease in: A below-the-knee skirt and closed-toe shoes or boots will still feel on the sensible side of spring.

Style Notes: Opt for a belted and boots. This is a combination that can be easily tweaked well into the summer.

Style Notes: Wave buh-bye to feather-down outerwear and instantly upgrade any look into spring territory with the simple swap of a trench coat you can still layer under.

Style Notes: Fluid trenches feel significantly airier than any winter coat but will still look the part with denim and knitwear.

Style Notes: Pastel tones are a key look for spring/summer 2020 and will instantly transition your wardrobe between seasons.

Style Notes: One of the boldest spring moves you can make is to wear a single colour head-to-toe. We were sceptical about pistachio to begin with, but this is rather beguiling.

Style Notes: With khaki chinos and neutral denim taking up two important sports in the trouser-trend leaderboard this season, we urge you to put indigo jeans aside for a moment and try out something different like a full-on ecru-and-camel look.

Style Notes: Basically take whatever you would have worn with your regular jeans and swap in for white, cream or ecru.

Style Notes: Super-fine jersey or mesh layering turtlenecks have become a secret weapon for the fashion set.

Style Notes: As well as thin mesh tops, we've also seen a sharp rise in tie-dye roll-necks recently.

Style Notes: We love black ankle boots, we really do, but when you've been wearing them day in and day out, it's nice to know that some more exhilarating options do exist in the footwear world. Swapping in last year's white shoes and boots will instantly do the trick.

Style Notes: Wear them to weddings or on holiday. Trust us—White shoes will see you right.

Style Notes: There's no denying that leather looks luxe, but as soon as the days start to brighten, it begins to look too weighty. Instead, change it up with suede finished that are softer to style.

Style Notes: Bright hues loan themselves well to leather thanks to their muted finish, but there's nothing more timeless than tan or beige.

Style Notes: Leopard print will forever be a fashion mainstay, but its muddy colour palette often feels wintry. What better excuse do you need to reinstate polka dots into your daily wares?

Style Notes: Polka dots are a huge trend for spring/summer, particularly when they're set against bold hues.
