How to dress for Spring when it feels like Winter outside!

Layering is key in the Irish climate, when four seasons ofen arrive all in the one day! Not only will layering help with weather changes, it will help with hot flushes, and transitioning from home-car-work-walk-shop. 

1. Have a choice of sleeveless and long sleeve vests in black, white, neutrals, that can go underneath everything. A low round or v-neck will ensure that they are not too visible around the neckline.
2. Get a good pair of skin colour tights. (The vests and tights are great for layering under light Spring clothes that are just too cool for the current temperatures).
3. Have a collection of Spring scarves. Having the neck and chest covered makes a huge difference and is great for giving outfits a pop of colour or texture.
4. Think bright knitwear! If you've been wearing dark grey, black, dark khaki, and navy during the winter months, simply wearing a brighter knit in white, beige, green or blue will make an instant change to your look! Check out our Star Knit €55 which is available in 5 colours and is 100% cotton. This can be layered over a long sleeve top now and in Summer simply replace with a sleeveless vest.
5. Think footwear! We've been wearing boots all winter but it's still too soon to wear sandals so we are stuck in shoe purgatory. The solution is to get some funky, brightly coloured runners. Turn your jeans up at the ankle, add a white jumper, and some bright runners for an instant Spring vibe. 
6. Jackets... ditch the dark winter padded jackets for chunky cardigans and denim jackets. Layer the denim jackets over shirts and even layer the chunky cardigan over the denim jacket for outdoor moments. (Keep the winter coat in the car for walks!)
7. Silk- we stock silk all year round in Lalara. The fabric is a silk/viscose mix and it is one of the most popular fabrics in the shop. It is instantly elegant and dressy. It can be worn with jeans or palazzos. A silk top will instantly give Spring vibes but you can wear it all year. Check out our long Silk Crossover Top for a unique statement piece.
8. Tunics- basically dresses that we style over jeans. A great way to stay warm but still have a new vibrant look. Layer the Lily Dress or the Rita Dress over our Skinny Stretch Jeans in denim or white for a Spring outfit.
9. Have fun, think bright, be brave!
