Spring in Salisbury brings a welcome shift in the weather — mornings still carry a chill from the Wiltshire downs, while afternoons hint at the warmth to come. Dressing for this transitional season requires thoughtful layering, breathable fabrics, and a colour palette that reflects renewal.
At Chas H Baker, our Spring 2026 collection has arrived, and it captures exactly that spirit of change. Here is our guide to the key pieces and how to wear them.
Lightweight Jackets & Blazers
The cornerstone of any spring wardrobe is a versatile outer layer. This season we are featuring unstructured cotton blazers from Hackett, lightweight Barbour wax jackets in new seasonal colours, and Ted Baker's signature slim-fit sports jackets in soft herringbone and micro-check patterns.
These pieces bridge the gap between winter weight and summer linen — perfect for layering over a fine knit or dress shirt when heading to the office, or thrown over a polo for a weekend stroll through Salisbury market.
Pastel & Soft-Tone Shirts
Spring is the season to introduce colour back into your wardrobe. Our new shirt arrivals include:
- Soft pink and lavender Oxford cloth button-downs from Gant
- Sky blue and sage green cotton poplin dress shirts
- Striped rugby shirts in muted navy and cream combinations
Pastels work beautifully with navy chinos, stone-coloured trousers, or classic denim. The key is balance — let one piece carry the colour while keeping the rest of your outfit grounded in neutrals.
Transitional Knitwear
Merino wool remains our go-to for spring layering. Lightweight crew-neck jumpers, fine-gauge V-necks, and cotton-linen blend cardigans offer warmth without bulk. Layer them under a blazer for a polished look, or wear alone with chinos for relaxed elegance.
"Spring dressing is about versatility. One well-chosen jacket and three good shirts can see you through the entire season." — Ken Edwards, Chas H Baker
Footwear for Changing Conditions
As the ground dries and temperatures rise, it is time to transition from heavy winter boots to lighter options. Loake suede chukka boots, leather loafers, and classic white trainers from our casual range all make excellent spring choices. We recommend having a pair of brogues on hand for any formal occasions that spring inevitably brings.
