Amanda Holden looks effortlessly stylish in double denim for a day at Crufts

At just under £40, I'm calling it early, I think this is the best denim jacket you'll find on the high street this spring/summer. The mid wash means you can get away with pairing it with most of the denim you already have, whether that's white, blue or black jeans. It's available in UK sizes 6 to 24, and although it's just arrived, it's already selling fast according to the M&S site.

Up there with the best M&S jeans, these subtle flares are available in three lengths and have a good amount of stretch in them. It might be years since you last tried flares, but they really are a flattering choice so give them a go.

You've probably already got a pair of black leather ankle boots in your spring capsule wardrobe, but white feels much fresher - and is a lot more practical than you might think. If Amanda Holden can get away with wearing white shoes at Crufts, you can wear yours for a day at the office!

The thing about denim jackets is that you don't have to spend much at all to get a good one. Unlike leather or suede, it can be really hard to tell the difference between a budget-friendly denim jacket and a designer one.

Mint Velvet is really on a roll right now, and these leg-lengthening jeans will boost your confidence and refresh your style for the warmer weather. Wear these with a cotton top when the sun is out.

If you've had enough of winter boots, a pair of slingback flats will feel smart but comfortable for the new season. One reviewer wrote of these: "Really like these they have the class of low heels but are still comfy."
