THE HERO PIECE: THE UTILITY JACKET

At this time of year, one of the best transitional pieces to go for is a utility jacket. Great for pairing with your jeans, leather trousers, or dresses and tights this season, the army-green basic will also work brilliantly over floral frocks and summer whites as it gets warmer. This spring, the utility jacket has been given a feminine makeover thanks to fluted sleeves, pretty embroidery and flattering, cropped shapes, making it both effortless and chic. Here are our top picks.
