Do we brace for sudden gusts of wind in warm weather blouses? Or do we overheat in our winter knits during oddly warm lunchtimes?

Here, fashion experts show you how to seamlessly transition your wardrobe to spring.

How to master layering

Experts swear by the three-layer rule: a breathable base for comfort, a mid-layer for warmth, and a final layer to protect against the elements.

"[The first layer] could be a simple T-shirt, a cotton shirt or even a dress for a more spring-facing look," says Seasalt Cornwall's chief creative officer Laura Watson.

"Next, add something warmer like a knit. Finally, my favourite outer layer for spring is a short edition of the classic trench - and I'm never without an umbrella."
