Women's spring wardrobe updates for under £100

Treat spring as a dry run for summer: a few warm days, the odd shower and moments when you can almost go without tights. It’s a good season for blouson jackets, trying denim beyond jeans (think a denim dress) and wearing short(ish) skirts with socks and loafers.

Consider a corset-style top that behaves like a crop, a Lanvin-style headscarf for a hairless day, or a little bag charm to personalise a tote. Think 2026 colours too — difficult green, cornflower blue and wearable lilac — and focus on adding to what you already own or styling it in a new way.

Small swaps refresh everything: trade last year’s red pop for cornflower socks with chestnut or charcoal loafers, let a red bra strap peek from beneath a blue shirt, or go big with oversized grey-green sunglasses. Slimline jazz trainers in suede lift casual looks, and conversation-starting jewellery — like blackberry huggies or a spiral glass necklace — makes plain outfits sing.
