10 Classic SPRING wardrobe essentials that never go out of style

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I’ve worn silk scarves for 40 years, they’re always “in” in my book, I just adore them. Prints, shapes and ways of styling them do change with the trends, so I try to keep mine modern-looking. They’re indispensable in winter under all those itchy cashmere sweater necks. Right now geometric prints like yours are very on-trend, as are long, skinny scarves worn as bow ties, or “men’s tie knots”. They’re just too irresistible, soft, feminine and luxurious, to never wear them, “trending” or not. I recommend always buying 100% genuine silk ones, polyester is hot and sweaty, creases badly and irritates the skin.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

A fitted white shirt would be a nice change. When I want to wear a sweater over most shirts, they just have too much fabric to tuck in or lie reasonably flat. I never sized up, but shirts just got very oversized for a while there. Trinny was just modeling a striped one at her COS shop-up, but it would have come down to the back of my knees! I hope brands will get over this oversized trend soon, it’s killer for us petites.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I love that “cricket jumper”, it’s a great classic. We don’t have a strong association with cricket here in the US. If people ask you if it’s a cricket jumper, just say, yes…and? Your point?

[@meganlim8416]

This sounds crazy but hear me out! When you want to put a sweater over your shirt, take a tight tank top and put it OVER your shirt. Then put your sweater over top of that and the bulk is all hidden!

[@anasky00]

Love the ballerinas, and that "Audrey Hepburn" look is perfect!

[@JanasSpace]

Thank you! Always inspiration for me. You look amazing in anything white, your skin shines in it..Janax

[@katem3961]

I am totally over my stripped tops this season. It's a classic, I know, but as a busty petite, I don't like how the stripes emphasise my bust. I wear thinner stripes mostly but have not been reaching for them this summer, I live in Australia. I wore plain silk or linen or with small floral print ( I loved the DWP clip Gemma) camisoles/tops/dresses. Thank you for another informative video Gemma 💙🩵🩶🩷

[@maryokeefe5351]

So true. I sometimes add stripes or a nautical pattern in a scarf instead, or printed on shoes or a bag.

[@katem3961]

​@Mary O'Keefe Oh, I really like that tip Mary. Thank you.

[@carlsenlifeafter60carlsen11]

I love your videos. You get straight to the point and show lots of ideas of what to wear . You look great in everything…😊

[@valpurves45]

another really amazing video. Loved it all. The blazers ballerinas nude shoes. Striped sweater. Really comprehensive .and so well co ordinated looks. Thank-you Gemma

[@kathyhartsell4383]

Good afternoon Gemma! I enjoyed seeing your Spring wardrobe essentials! Love how you coordinated and styled all the pieces. They are timeless and classic! Thank you! 💕

[@tinahailu748]

Thanks a bunch for the excellent fashion tips and tricks !As always, You're looking magnificent 👌

[@katiekrupa6608]

I usually have a problem to find shoes for spring cause I dont like neither balerinas shoes nor loafers which seem to me more on manly side. What I am left with is White leather simple speakers and heels.... Still looking for some Options comfy but still feminine.

[@callashoesuk]

Hi Katie - have you tried a slim brogue in a feminine colour? These can be a great alternative to loafers/ballet flats!

[@ednawilliams3608]

Hi Gemma, loved all the items you showed. They were timeless and ageless. As an older lady, I appreciate your style and ideas. I'm always inspired by your videos to try something new. Thank you 😊 💓.

[@jayneweaver8695]

Some of these outfits are spectacular, you look great in the Lily Silk trench, white button down, dark jeans and heels. I mean really THAT was gorgeous. Would love to know the brand of those jeans, would order a pair. Thank you for the videos, you make classy super fun.

[@sharonmartelli3154]

Loved it all Gemma! We just got another 30 cm of snow so I will wait on the sandals. Lol. 251k Gemma amazing! lots of inspiration for the weeks to come ❤❤

[@silviablue9889]

I’m definitely enamored with the picks. This looks really smart . Blessings from california

[@glamourandmoore]

Loved all of these looks! Thank you! I agree about Audrey Hepburn and Ralph Lauren. Both styles are very preppy and timeless ♥️

[@lindsaymcpupps2615]

Hi Gemma, Great vid Love a silk scarf, if only to catch my dribbles 😄😄😄 Hope you're well xx

[@Gemmawhattowear]

[@annabellecork8487]

I love everything in your video. Thank you again. All the colours you suggest are my favourites. Thank you again Greetings from Manila Philippines !

[@lu_re7198]

Those are great looking loafers. They look like they could be worn in place of the white sneaker. 🤔

[@cindybrown430]

I love your style. Beautiful

[@Gemmawhattowear]

Thank you so much!!

[@susannem3526]

Love listening to your voice, its so calming and reassuring.

[@Binka76]

Hey Gemma! If i had a wish 😊, i would like to see a Video from you with the topic „How to Look put together“

[@barbaramills3518]

Try your pink trench with navy. It is a beautiful combo.

[@MamaCoton]

Gemma! Thank you for your timeless videos! Thank you also for help finding pretty feminine shoes with wider toe boxes & narrower heels. I purchased 2 pair of the pointy Vivaia flats that you recommended. Love them, great price, comfy + sustainable. ~Sarah ❤

[@judithcatlett8518]

Love the sweater you’re wearing and it looks nice with the shirt too.

[@elisabethdevlin5130]

Love to watch your videos, love your style. Classic and stylish.

[@mutisiab]

Wonderful combinations in neutral and pastel colours! Beautiful Dior earrings! 👜

[@fionafrazer8820]

Lovely items - makes me long for Spring. We were teased with 60 degree days in February, but as March approaches, we have snow and freezing temps. Let's hope the old adage applies. - in like a Lion, out like lamb!

[@canal_da_lily_e_do_mingal]

Adoro seu canal....muito chique 🥰suas peças atemporais ....amo seu estilo

[@jodybucci285]

I love your suggestions, especially that you include tips on accessorizing. I’m so pleased that you get right to the point and cover all of the details in relatively brief videos. Some people talk too much and I find myself thinking, “just get on with it” or I fast forward through much of their videos. So thank you your great tips and for your brevity.😊

[@SorayaZiziArtist]

Beautiful Gemma😍❤️

[@andoriasay5888]

Your videos are all nice and great, straight to the point not wasting any of our time with a long paragraph of introduction… and your videos are of great help… ALL THE TIME. ❤ and those store to buy items you have on your videos, we can go over them (like zara, mango, h&m etc.) than having more items of luxury items, which like me, cant buy of those… not practical for a middle earner, singlemom like me ☺️😊🫶🏻🫰🏻🤭.

[@marylafrance9547]

everything looks super, great vidwo

[@mompreneurlife]

❤ thanks for sharing! I really like your striped tops. They’re super classy and great for work.❤

[@dennyb759]

Not sure why everyone pushes striped shirt ( horizontal)I keep hearing everyone can wear it, had a picture taken with my grandson .After I saw pic came home n threw top away I looked so wide in it. 🤷‍♀️

[@elizabethglenbentley7882]

I appreciate the way you are so professional, Gemma, quick off the mark, well thought out delivery, excellent visual examples, so so helpful. Love your channel. Denmark 🇩🇰

[@Gemmawhattowear]

♥️ thank you Elizabeth

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I like the nude pump with the 2-inch heel, it’s what I’ve been looking for. Nearly every nude pump has a 3-inch or higher heel, which I just can’t wear, about 2.5-inch is my limit.

[@callashoesuk]

So pleased you like them Kimberly 😊

[@nadiamaturano8741]

This video is just what i needed. I recently used my white jeans and everyone told me "you look like a nurse" i mean no disrespect to health personnel in any way, but it just wasnt the look i was looking for, i think i can manage to replicate some of the combination you just showed with a white jean that are closer to what i wanted to achieve. Love from 🇲🇽

[@donnadrummer1357]

Great information to help us get ready for spring! Thank you I’ll be ready.

[@teresanash-mcneil3443]

Fabulous combinations as always.

[@sandybell3369]

Hi Gemma, where did you get the wide tan and white pants? Love them!

[@Gemmawhattowear]

Hi Sandy the wide table pants were Mango the cream ones H&M but they were last years

[@dianecyment1715]

Great wardrobe ideas. You have such a classic look that I love.

[@Gemmawhattowear]

Thank you so much!

[@janettehunt6831]

Wish I could wear ballet shoes but I can no longer them as I suffer from planter fasciitis and they are too low, although saying that, my loafers are not a problem. Nice classy outfits.😘

[@callashoesuk]

Hi Janette, our ballet flats have a hidden heel & cushioned, arch supported insoles - we have a lot of customers who have plantar fasciitis that wear them!

[@christinekellyrose9435]

It's an infamous clip about florals from "The Devil Wore Prada," but I feel the same way about striped tops. You look simply chic in what you showed...always elegant 😁

[@katpender1]

Love love love the black trench from lily silk and the outfits you created with it! These are all great options.

[@heyjenknee]

Very nice video. I only wish I could wear flats, I have plantar fascists so no flats for me. I have to say the black ones w the chain across look great. The off white loafers w a lighter colored heel are really attractive as loafers can get Thanks for the inspiration.

[@callashoesuk]

Hi Jenny, when our founder Jenni had plantar fasciitis our ballet flats were the only shoes she could wear without pain! Must be the hidden heel & arch support!

[@alisonj.4741]

Can anyone recommend underwear that eliminates the dreaded VPL? I wear shapewear most days, but it can be awkward to wear under closer fitting pants, like when I wear joggers to exercise. Or maybe you can recommend joggers that are less susceptible to VPL? Thanks, ladies!

[@alisonj.4741]

And apologies for the poor manners-I was so excited to revamp my wardrobe that I forgot to compliment Gemma on this great video. Her videos are always so helpful and she looks amazing!

[@elizabethpace1591]

Love the outfits, thanks for sharing 🙂

[@janiceginsberg824]

Gemma - love how you get to the point and how you show ways to style pieces in different ways. For those of us who cannot spend $600 or more on a handbag, could you offer similar styles from a more budget friendly source as an option. Thank you --

[@helenurwin1508]

Always Great ideas for pulling together staple items that some of us may already have in our wardrobe but feel could do with a bit of a zhuzh/update. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your channel/videos

[@claremcgann7570]

Loved it all. Thanks.

[@deborahhouser9833]

Gemma...All of your posts are simply wonderful!!!

[@Gemmawhattowear]

Thank you Deborah ♥️

[@love_joy_peace3753]

You have helped me so much with my wardrobe choices. Thank you!

[@jocelyndecastro6334]

Gemma, I hope you caught Miranda Priestly's sarcasm when she said, ' " Florals? Groundbreaking." ' Florals for spring while remaining classic, has become stale (which Miranda Priestly was trying to convey). Wearing florals as long as not too much can be worn with solid colors in other seasons of the year. Just not too flowery.

[@heatherbell-lp7bb]

I work in the medical field so HATE white blazers (reminds me of a lab coat), no matter how you pair them :(. I prefer black, grey, navy or camel, even khaki or linen for summer/spring. I love the stripe outfits & the loafers❤

[@Gemmawhattowear]

Completely understand why you would dislike them so much

[@tonimilstead5089]

Beautifully put together as always. 😊

[@sparklie962]

Gorgeous options as always. May I ask if the Lilysilk trenches are M or L? We've frequently taken the same size and if that's the M on you then I know I can order it with confidence.

[@Gemmawhattowear]

Thank you. Yes it’s M it’s very roomy

[@kimberlyberlin4999]

Gemma, I love how you layered the navy striped long sleeved t-shirt under the striped sweater. That's a look I will try to recreate. I have several long sleeve navy and white shirts but will be on the hunt for the perfect striped sweater to top it. You've got me thinking now....I can top my striped long sleeved shirt with a solid navy sweater also. Thank you!!

[@laurahardy2427]

You are the best!! What a great guide ❤

[@Gemmawhattowear]

Thanks Laura

[@katrinaryan1739]

Love a lot of the items you have shown but many of the key items, i.e. the blazer, trench coat and jumper for example are beautiful but way out of the price range of many people at the moment with the cost of living so high. I know it’s sensible to fork out for a quality piece of clothing as it will last longer but it’s just having that cash in the first place within your budget. Still love watching all your videos and love the outfits you put together 🥰💜

[@janetleeadams7287]

My clothes budget is also very low. I was excited last year when I found a wool blazer and a silk blazer type top at the Goodwill store. Paid about 20 dollars total.

[@edennis8578]

I never pay retail. I buy on deep sale or even clearance. It isn't true that only undesirable items are left over after the season; I purchase all of my basics on sale. I only buy online these days, but you can get great deals in the shops, too. Online has better selection, though, because it includes everything that the retailer has countrywide. I buy a lot of Talbots clearance items, and the inventory is shipped to me from all over. An order of three different items might come from 3 different stores a thousand miles apart.

[@yaodelach9884]

Recently lost the Dior earrings...anyone knows where I can buy them?

[@KathrinMuysers]

Did any else get this amazing, long commercial with the leather outfits? I missed the brand or retailer, did anyone catch that?

[@sarah.marco888]

I always go to your videos for timeless selections 😊❤ really great!

[@MK-zo3zk]

Very nice, Gemma!

[@Gemmawhattowear]

Thank you

[@sandybell3369]

Where did you get those fabulous camel tan wide pants?

[@nurseloco2003]

I don’t see the tan trench linked. I’d love to know where it’s from. Thanks!

[@moumitadeb9337]

Excellent video and selection of essentials 👍

[@charlievaillant4294]

J'adore votre robe noire mais je ne la trouve pas chez MARKS & Spenser. pouvez vous m'aider ? Merci

[@nikispy4387]

Hi there,love your videos!Please is it possible for you to let me know where you bought your neutral (higher heel shos.Will be buying the lower Calla ones,but sometimes for evening the high ones are good.Thank you.

[@Gemmawhattowear]

Thank you 😊 the shoes are from Zara but they’re a few years old now. There are some similar ones in LK Bennett but they’re more expensive

Love your ensembles, but in Florida, it is hot or cool, unfortunately.

[@edennis8578]

I think you need a channel from Florida or California; there are a lot of them. I was ready to tear my hair out with all those videos showing "winter wear" that included a cardigan and loafers in December! It's -5°F here in December with a foot of snow.
