With the first day of spring having finally arrived and the sun occasionally rearing its head, we've been busy filling up our online baskets with the new season's sartorial hits.

But while the meteorological movement may have incited moments of overzealous behaviour - we've finished the Häagen-Dazs and winter's saggy-crotched tights have been binned - when shopping for a 'seasonal' wardrobe it's savvy to think more long-term.

Ergo: full sleeves.

Flared ones, ruched ones, falling-past-your-fingers ones; today's sleeves are bigger - dimensionally as well as favourably - and more dramatic than ever.

Other seasonal highlights include a cleverly-ruched cotton skirt by J.W.Anderson - with a practical, mid-season-friendly hemline length - and a pair of black kitten heeled pumps from The Row.

Jeans are wide-leg and boots are sock-fit this spring, while frills and florals add a breezy, feminine feel to modern mules and chunky sneakers.

Here are our SS17 style staples to refresh your wardrobe for the season ahead.
