Spring is the season of wardrobe renewal—a time to swap heavy knits for breezy layers, earth tones for pastels, and stiff fabrics for flow. But finding spring pieces that are not only stylish but actually fit you can feel like a guessing game. That’s where Tellar.co.uk comes in.

Whether you’re petite, tall, curvy or in between, this guide explores the most flattering spring clothing styles for all body types, the best materials for unpredictable UK weather, and where to shop smart—with links to live Tellar brand sizing posts to help you shop without ever guessing your size.

1. Why Spring Style Requires Smart Layering

Spring in the UK swings from warm breezes to chilly showers in a heartbeat. That means you need style choices that work in layers and breathe well.

Top tip: Focus on lightweight outer layers like cropped trench coats, boxy overshirts, and soft unlined blazers. These can be thrown on and off with ease as the day warms up.

See our post on Best Smart Casual Blazers for Women for options across sizes and shapes.

2. The Best Spring Fabrics

When it comes to spring clothing, fabric choice is everything. You want materials that are breathable, non-clingy, and layer-friendly.

Best spring fabrics include:

Linen – Lightweight and airy (see How to Style Linen Dresses)
Cotton poplin – Crisp and structured for shirts and shirtdresses
Tencel/Lyocell – Soft, sustainable, and flowy
Lightweight denim – For spring-friendly jeans and jackets
Silk-cotton blends – Ideal for blouses and camisoles

3. Most Flattering Silhouettes for Spring

Spring is the perfect time to embrace shape-enhancing styles that feel relaxed but still highlight your frame. These silhouettes suit most body types:

▸ A-Line Dresses

Universally flattering. Choose midi-lengths in prints or pastels.

See our spring dress guide: Best Spring Dresses and Styles

▸ High-Waist Wide-Leg Trousers

Perfect for elongating legs, especially with tucked-in tops. Great for pear or hourglass shapes.

▸ Cropped Jackets

A boxy, waist-length jacket draws the eye upward—ideal for balancing proportions. Choose a neutral trench or a soft utility jacket.

▸ Midi Skirts with Structure

Opt for cotton or denim midis with slight flare. These work for curvier and straighter figures alike.

4. Colour Palettes That Pop in Spring

Spring is made for sorbet tones, earthy greens, and bold brights—but the right palette depends on your undertones and personal style.

Some winning combos:

Pale yellow + white linen for fresh, feminine energy
Blush pink + denim for soft spring edge
Terracotta + cream for warm neutrals with depth
Powder blue + navy for a modern pastel blend
