Is your wardrobe ready for Spring? We've partnered with Sloggi to bring you the dreamy colour palette you'll want to live in all season long.
1. Lilac Croc Bag
Lavender and lilac were big last year, and now they're back! The croc embossing on this bag (£25) gives it a 2019 twist, as does the acrylic chain-link strap. Accessorise it with jeans for a pale pop of colour, or for extra fashion points, pair with one of the complementary colours highlighted on the strap, like navy or brown.

2. Light Blue Underwear
Yes, even your go-to, everyday underwear can get in on the pastel party. This season, swap your neutral bras and knickers out for a set in a pretty shade, like this bralette (£30) and matching brief (£12.50) in an ice blue. With the seamless fit and breathable fabric, you'll be comfortable all day long. Plus, the secret boost of confidence from knowing you're wearing something playful underneath your clothes doesn't hurt either.

3. Mint Hoop Earrings
From handbags to sunglasses, mint-coloured accessories are set to be big this season. If you're looking for just a touch of colour, try a pair of earrings. These acrylic hoops (£95) in a marbled sage are striking yet subtle, and will dress up even the most basic of outfits.

4. Yellow Dress
A Spring wardrobe wouldn't be complete without at least one flirty, feminine, mood-boosting dress. With retro polka dots, a slinky silhouette, an uplifting yellow hue, and plenty of ruffles, this midi dress (£205) definitely fits the bill. The best part is that this little number works for casual and dressy settings alike. Spring wedding, anyone?

Give classic white kicks a lift with a pastel-striped platform. These canvas trainers (£72) put the fun in functional and bring a bit of whimsy to more casual looks. Wear them with cropped, wide-leg jeans or your favourite loungewear.

6. Pink Teddy Jacket
While you'll likely be transitioning out of thicker coats, there's a good chance you'll still need to rely on a jacket for breezy mornings and nights. This teddy jacket (£69) is the perfect Spring option, with its easy biker-style cut and cheerful pink hue. Whether you decide to throw this over a wispy dress or boyfriend jeans, you can't not be happy wearing something so soft and bright.

7. Rainbow Jumpsuit
Why choose only one colour when you can wear the whole rainbow? With its panels of pastels, this jumpsuit (£445) is exactly what Spring fashion should be: easy, effortless, and playful. Since it already makes such a statement, all you need to complete the look are some strappy sandals.
8. Pastel One-Piece Swimsuit
There's nothing like a brand new swimsuit to get you excited for upcoming travel plans. And this one-piece (£285) is everything your holiday wardrobe needs — and more. With its sweetly scalloped edges and watercolour marble print, it takes an on-trend approach to a classic style, but it's the versatility that we love. All it takes is a pair of linen shorts or trousers or a pleated midi skirt to instantly take it from sand to street.
