As we head into spring, finding outfits that can work both for chilly mornings and warm afternoons is a must. And that means ditching heavy coats for lighter layers that are just as practical as they are stylish – and Anita Rani has found the ideal outfit formula that will also refresh your favourite jeans, too.
In place of a heavy jacket, Anita wore wide-leg, dark indigo jeans with a leather shirt. As well as looking sleek and polished, her thick leather shirt was a great alternative to a leather jacket, delivering the warming properties, but with a tailored fit.
The long line of her leather shacket (shirt-jacket) complemented the cut of her jeans, adding a fitted top half to balance out the wider hemline. An ideal silhouette for early spring weather, Anita's polished look was ready for whatever the season had in store.
