Bucks &amp; Oxon


<p>Should you turn the heating on, or crack a window open? Swap to the summer tog or keep that quilt handy? It’s a delightful but also unpredictable time of year. The clocks have thankfully sprung forward, we’re all feeling a bit more cheery and we’re slowly peeling off the puffas. But <a href="https://bucksoxon.muddystilettos.co.uk/things-to-do/whats-on-april-buckinghamshire-oxfordshire/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">April</a> in the UK has a knack of letting us know that we’re not quite out of the woods yet (the legit term for that is ‘Fool’s spring’), and so clever layering comes to the fore. Throw in some pastel hues and a floral nod and you’re sartorially on point. Just don’t forget your umbrella.</p>

It’s a serious hard worker too: team it with wide leg trousers for a cool office look or throw it on with jeans at the weekend. It’s a fab way to add a little extra cosiness to a t-shirt too if the forecast is all over the shop. Head to Busby &amp; Fox in Henley to give it a spin or add it to your online basket below.</p><p>£79</p><p><a href="https://www.busbyandfox.com/products/flo-knitted-waistcoat-light-khaki" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BUY NOW</a></p></div></div></div></div>

It’s quite the high brow buy too. Inspired by French artist Edgar Degas’ time in New Orleans, the antique blush tone evokes Louisiana sunshine and Degas’ calmer pace of life across the sea from Paris. Here’s hoping some of that sunshine and calm comes to us too, but either way this jacket’s a masterpiece – you’ll find it at Heidi and Hudson in Amersham. </p><p>£189</p><p><a href="https://www.heidiandhudson.co.uk/products/maison-hotel-edgar-linen-jacket?variant=56563740705148" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BUY NOW</a></p></div></div></div></div>

To be honest, there’s nothing Clarice won’t go with. You can give her a spin at White Coco, a fashion haven with shops in Oxford and a newly opened pop-up in Burford, open until <strong>21 June</strong>. </p><p>£75</p><p><a href="https://www.whitecoco.co.uk/products/clarice-jacket?variant=56968508998014" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BUY NOW</a></p></div></div></div></div>

This cheeky cream open-knit jumper has a Seventies’ feel thanks to the relaxed fit, flared sleeves and very strategically placed floral motifs. Slip it over a dress for boho vibes and extra warmth, or team with jeans and live your hippie-ish dreams. </p><p>£149</p><p><a href="https://nellieanddove.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/bella-margherita-knit-in-shell?variant=57872794681725" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BUY NOW</a></p></div></div></div></div>

The floral appliqué makes it a little bit fancy and the balloon sleeves and a feminine flourish. Button it up when you’re in boss mode and wear it open for downtime mooching.
