The first heatwave of 2022 is here, which means it’s time to pack away the heavy knitwear, box up the winter boots and start thinking about that long overdue leg wax: in short, it’s spring dress season.
Not to be confused with The Summer Dress (all spaghetti straps and flimsy fabrics), The Spring Dress must cater for the intermittent chills of March to May via sturdier materials, long sleeves (non-negotiable) and pockets (always, always preferable). A good spring dress is perfect for brisk park walks and outdoor pub sessions that move inside promptly when the sun goes, and it should work with boots and a cardi in cooler climes and sandals and sunnies when the heatwave hits.
