It's time to say goodbye to your best winter coats and fully embrace jacket season. The bomber has never truly gone out of fashion, but this year's London Fashion Week street style trends prove that it is the must-have piece of outerwear for your spring capsule wardrobe. From the puffy, oversized silhouette to the cool aviation edge, there is no occasion that it doesn't work for when styled right. And with just the right amount of padding to keep out the chill, it is ideal for transitional weather days.

2. Animal print

Good news, maximalists - garish animal prints are here to stay. Our favourite thing about this trend is that it can be done as subtly or standout as you want, depending on your personal style. Brown leopard print is a capsule wardrobe must-have that will pair with everything from your best trench coats to best jeans for women over 50. But if you really want to turn heads, a patent snake print accessory or oversized zebra jacket will win you serious style points.

3. Buckle bags

Updating your accessories is one of the best ways to breathe new life into your wardrobe without neglecting the pieces you already own, so we always pay close attention to the handbag silhouettes and styles that are trending throughout the year. This season, it's all about buckles. The best Mulberry handbags are our top pick for sophisticated buckled styles, but it's not just the best designer bags that play into this look. High street retailers like Zara and Mango are always bang on trend when it comes to handbags and there are plenty of buckled styles to choose from this spring.
