For lovers of bold colourways, floaty fabrics, statement sunglasses and dreamy dresses, spring is without a doubt the most favoured season for fashion.
Though a rather tricky time of year to style for, due to the ever-changing weather, Bridgerton's Nicola Coughlan just showed off a simple hack that's both chic and practical.

Nicola, who is known for her role as Penelope Featherington in the Netflix hit, wore the colourful and practical ensemble to accept the Prix Konbini de l'Engagement award for “individuals who are actively making positive change beyond the television industry.”

If ever in doubt of what the weather might be like, take a leaf out of Nicola, Alexa and Lady Diana’s little black book of styling hacks and bring a light knit layer wherever you go to ensure you remain ready for the weather while remaining overtly chic.
