Linen shirt and denim laid flat on a wooden floor

Spring dressing is about restraint. Start with a single hero piece — a crisp linen shirt or a soft cotton sweater — and let everything else recede.

Three rules

  1. One color story per outfit.
  2. One texture that surprises (raffia, suede, terry).
  3. One accessory you actually love.

That is it. Get dressed and go outside.
