I love it in blue because it has a nice sheen to it and is a little more unexpected, but the brown is lovely too. With the tailored silhouette, adjustable waist tabs and gold buttons this jacket is dressier than the classic utility jacket. As a bonus, the resin-coated canvas makes it water-resistant too. Wear it casually with a tee, jeans or ponte knit pants and booties. Or create a fun juxtaposition with a sequined or silk top, a flirty skirt or frock and fab pumps or sandals.

An affordable and flattering pair of slouchy trousers. These are the woven version of the on-trend fancy knit sweat pants. Opt for a roomy fit and wear them low on your waist if you want some slouch, pull them up higher if you prefer a baggy fit only. Remember that you might not need your regular inseam depending on how low you wear the waistband. Heads up: if you’d like to give these a squizz you need to move fast: Nordstrom just restocked them after they sold out in less than two days time!

This A-line skirt with inverted box pleat launched me into orbit! With the oversized houndstooth pattern in red and lavender it’s a gorgeous modern take on a classic silhouette. Graphic and ladylike. It’s a good length for regular length gals and also comes in petite sizing. The colours are a little more vibrant in real life than on the computer screen.

Just looking at this trench makes me happy. What a vibrant colour! It’s mid-thigh length, fully lined and has all the classic trench detailing: epaulettes, button-tab cuffs, belt and buttoned shoulder flap. A ladylike Spring coat that will spice up dressier and casual ensembles. This trench is also available in tall and petite sizing. Runs true to size.

A great length pencil skirt in an on-trend floral pattern. The black and grey give this fully lined skirt a photographic vibe. Dress it up for workdays with a crisp blouse and jacket. Or wear it casually with a cheeky denim shirt or sassy sweatshirt and fun flats. Runs true to size. Only available online.

This fab floral skirt is very similar to the solid-coloured version that was such a big hit with YLF readers last year. It’s comfortable, forgiving and has a great midi length. The cobalt blue floral pattern is chic and eye-catching. Wear it with a boxy untucked shirt or sassy sweatshirt for a de-bombshelled look. Add a pair of sandals, pumps or oxfords and off you go.

This is going to be the year of white, and this jacket fits right into that trend. The fab detailing on this beautiful faux leather moto jacket is spot on. The perforated panels give it an airy sporty feeling, while the shimmery side panels add a fun sci-fi touch. Pair it with a flirty frock or skirt, or wear it with classic trousers or of-the-moment bottoms like baggy boyfriend jeans or slouchy tapered pants. Runs true to size. Also available in petite.

A tailored two-button blazer for a casual polished look. This striped cutie is fully lined and has some stretch to it thanks to the ponte knit fabric. The grey and white stripe looks especially fresh with white bottoms, but works equally well with blue and coloured denim. Runs true to size. It also comes in tall and petite, and is available in a navy & white stripe too.

As I write this blazer is on sale for $69.99.

This single-breasted, lined trench is a nice length and has a removable hood. The notched button tabs, storm flap and tie belt give it that timeless classic feel. The raglan sleeves are cut roomy for extra ease of movement. It also comes in black and khaki but the fresh citrine gets my vote. Available in petite sizing too. Machine washable. Gallery runs big so you might need to size down.

A lightweight chiffon button-down with a Monet-like floral print in gorgeous shades of green. This will take you from early Spring into Summer because it’s beautiful under jackets, vests, blazers, cardigans or worn on its own. Works well with white, cream, blue, grey, black and khaki-coloured bottoms. Fun metallic detailing on the collar. Add a cami because the fabric is sheer.
