Spring is fast approaching, and it seems we’re finally beginning to see the light at the end of the pandemic tunnel. That said, it would probably be a good idea to revisit your wardrobe sometime soon, especially if you’ve been spending every waking hour of the last 12 months donning the same old pair of sweats or PJs. Luckily, UK luxury fashion retailer Harvey Nichols has everything you’ll need to give your closet that much-needed refresh.
This season saw designers leaning heavily on positive colour palettes, namely yellow—perhaps a nod to the brighter days ahead. Minimalism and clean lines also appeared in several collections, by way of boxy jackets at Jacquemus, structured wide-legged trousers at The Row and sleek A-line midi skirts at Bottega Veneta. And, of course, the humble bike short proved that it’s here to stay for the foreseeable future.
To help you get started on your closet update, we’ve rounded up some of this season’s best designer pieces available to buy now—and wear forever. From candy-coloured mules to throwback baguette bags, effortless cardigans to oversized blazers, here are 10 wardrobe must-haves we can’t get enough of.
Take it back to basics with the minimalism trend; look for clean lines, simple shapes and muted colour schemes. We’re especially in love with this boxy, oversized blazer by France’s golden boy Simon Porte Jacquemus.

Relaxed wide-leg trousers
Transitioning to real pants after months of working from home in sweats may be quite the adjustment. Enter: the wide-leg trouser, like this classic twill pair by Eudon Choi. They’re sleek enough to appear pulled together, but comfortable enough to feel at ease.
