7 Transitional pieces that nail spring dressing

If, like us, you’ve spent the best part of March shedding layers when the sun hits only to re-cocoon once it fades, then you’re not alone. The spring-into-summer period is near-impossible to dress for. Hefty winter knits are too warm, while Bermuda shorts are too breezy - plus we’re just not ready to get the painfully pale pegs out just yet.

Enter - the high street. Brands such as Reiss are brimming with transitional staples to see you though to the balmier climates in style. Monochrome palettes, airy silhouettes and crisp tailoring make for the dreamiest wardrobe heroes to cling onto during this tasking sartorial time. 

Modest pieces such as classic shirts, crisp linen trousers and suede funnelneck jackets are primed for in-office meetings, while metallic lightweight knits, halternecks and cut-out dresses radiate off-duty elegance. Whether your spring-summer 2026 mood board is leaning towards more feminine styles of androgynous cool, Reiss’ fresh new collection is a goldmine of timeless finds.

The key? Layering. Hence, it’s of the utmost importance to source items that marry together seamlessly. Sure, you can dabble in a floral or two, but this curated selection of luxurious must-haves is for those wanting to inject their transitional wardrobe with polish, ease and practicality. Without ever sacrificing a touch of flirtatiousness, of course.
