Hello Spring, Goodbye Winter

With the mercury rising and the sun creeping further up the blue canvas of the sky, could Winter finally be over? Let us hope so.

As much as I don’t mind an excuse to layer up in the colder months, it is such a shame to lose a statement piece as it drowns under an overcoat. So I took this opportunity to wear this blue Zara blazer from their AW15 collection. 

Blazers come in all shapes and sizes and as a keen collector, I’m always on the lookout for something different. The black detail on this piece is a great touch and the lack of lapels or collar is definitely a talking point. 

I paired the blazer with a crisp waffle weave shirt as I really wanted to set the bold colours apart. The woven shirt is a little thicker than other offerings, great for that fifth season that the UK seems to have (the one where it’s too warm to be Winter but no-one told Spring it was up next…)

Finishing the outfit with my trusty pair of jeans and Topman Dune Leather Boots (previously featured in a less formal outfit here), I was ready to jump into the City whilst prepared for any formal occasion that may pop up. Subtle details can make big differences and I think this jacket is no exception.
