Having spent a dreamy easter weekend enjoying the warming Italian sunshine (this is going somewhere, I promise), I was reminded of a key packing shortcut I had forgotten given my lack of recent transitional packing practice. In such wonderful, mild weather that is well on its way to summer, but not quite there yet, balance is the key to your look. Whilst you will definitely need one jacket for the evening temperature drop (one jacket? Thats a whole new debacle for later..), with the mercury sitting comfortably in the early 20s it’s not cold enough to require any complex layering during the day. Especially if you are schlepping up hills under blue skies to admire the view, and settling yourself into a nice spot in the sun for spritz o’clock (which on holiday time means anywhere from 11 am amiright?). So the easiest way to minimise your packing load and navigate the mild spring weather and look good doing it? Reach for a cute AF spring top to spice up your jeans or wide-leg trousers and add an oversized blazer (or leather jacket if thats your vibe) for the evening. Oh and if you want to switch it up and wish to let your legs have a moment to shine, a long sleeve blouse paired with a mini hemline also works a treat to balance out the breeze on your newly freed pins. Easy peasy. And of course, we have sought out the best options for you, so here are 24 sweet picks to wet your whistle.
