Is it a bold statement to say that spring has sprung? I think not. Of course, the start of spring, according to Google, is on the 20th of March, which might seem a little far off, but in reality, is only three weeks away.
Hence, it's official: my lightweight-staple radar is already on high alert, and I'm confident that I've already found something especially brilliant that's set to become a cornerstone in my spring wardrobe. The answer? It lies in Boden's brand new Belgravia trousers, and the sartorial key is that they're crafted from lightweight linen.
You might be reluctant to jump the fashion gun and run straight to linen, as we have yet to see temperatures hit 20°C in the UK. But they're a great piece to add to your wardrobe rotation for when the weather slowly starts to get stuffier, and even your best pair of jeans are the last thing you want to be wearing day to day.
The perfect balance of comfort and polish, the Belgravia trousers come in a slightly relaxed, airy fit while holding onto the sophistication of a classic pair of tailored trousers, complete with flattering belt loops and pockets on both the front and the rear for a considered touch.
Their green hue sets them apart from countless linen trousers on the market, offering a bold approach to spring dressing without being too distracting on the eyes. But, as with a plethora of Boden staples, the trousers come in six other colours, including a joy-injecting bright pink, a cool aloe-green hue, and a kitschy, colourful stripe.
Of course, if you're looking for something slightly more pared back, opt for either the navy version for chic, French charm, or gingerbread-biscuit brown.
