Spring palette wardrobe essentials
The Spring palette is light, bright, warm and splashy, to match your own brightness and vibrancy! The pieces for your spring/summer update are a mix of these warm, light and bright pieces, as well as just one or two neutrals, because even the boldest outfits benefit from a few neutrals to anchor them.
Before you dive in, here are some top tips to ensure that you get the most from your spring/summer wardrobe update:
1. Use the pieces below as a guide, not an absolute set of rules. If you know that a different neckline, or print, would make for a better option, do switch pieces around.
2. Consider your own personal style and lifestyle, along with your colour palette. Think about the pieces you’ll actually get use from on a regular basis, as well as those you’re immediately drawn to.
3. Consider pushing your usual colour comfort zone a little (without leaving your seasonal palette behind!) - you might know that you look amazing in Spring’s greens, yellows and oranges, but adding a little blue or violet might be the thing that gives your wardrobe the zing it was missing, and adds a new dimension to your outfits. Even when we know our colours, it’s easy to find a comfort zone and stick with it, then wonder why our outfits all feel a bit ‘samey’ and safe.
4. Look for the pieces that will tie disparate sections of your wardrobe together. Those wide leg trousers you love but never wear? Maybe now’s the time to add a couple of neat fitting tops and sweaters that will bring them to life. Or maybe it’s a casual skirt for sunny weekends that will give your pretty tops a new lease of life?
5. Don’t forget to add your own unique style to whichever pieces you choose - Kettlewell pieces are designed to be styled in numerous different ways, to flatter your unique combination of colouring, body architecture, personal style, lifestyle and personal preferences! It’s by mixing these pieces in with your wardrobe that you’ll really see the magic happen.

Style notes: A blend of Spring's warmest and most vibrant tones, combined with softer shades like Hyacinth and Aquarius, makes this a bold palette to play with. Neutrals are Cream, Soft White and Ivory White, which will anchor your outfits without adding the weight of Chocolate or Bright Navy, your go-to dark neutrals, as you move into the warmer months.
Remember, use the guidelines above to help you tweak these wardrobe essentials to be perfect for you, and look forward to enjoying a summertime filled with colour confidence!
