Look, I won't bore you with talk of the "shifting seasons" and the "shedding of layers". You know as well as I do that spring is here. Are we feeling good about it? Considering there's a slice of sun warming my shoulders and a half-eaten tangelo next to my laptop, I can comfortably say, yes, yes I am.

It's time to begin the annual rotation where we pack up our coats to create room for the dresses, Bermuda shorts, strappy sandals and breezy tees we'll be sporting this time of year. If you've gotten this far in the process and have realised your outfit options are somewhat lacking, the next step is figuring out what you're going to do about it? Will you make a trip to your favourite op-shops and vintage stores? Or will you simply trawl secondhand resale sites and online vintage sellers?

If you've exhausted all these options and are serious about investing in something new, we've compiled a list of brands to consider incorporating into your spring wardrobes – and well into summer too. From Cormio to OpéraSPORT, find a list of them all below.

Summer wouldn't be complete without one of the new RUSSH caps made in collaboration with Double Rainbouu. Shop the Full Look Policy Caps, here.

Personally, I've been gearing up for the approaching warmer months by adding a host of sandals to my online shopping carts. If you're in need of some footwear inspiration, take this roundup of the sandals we're eyeing off this spring.

Otherwise, here's some inspiration from the queens of summer themselves, Dua Lipa and Jill Kortleve.
