As we head into spring, finding outfits that can work both for chilly mornings and warm afternoons is a must. And that means ditching heavy coats for lighter layers that are just as practical as they are stylish – and Anita Rani has found the ideal outfit formula that will also refresh your favourite jeans, too.

In place of a heavy jacket, Anita wore wide-leg, dark indigo jeans with a leather shirt. As well as looking sleek and polished, her thick leather shirt was a great alternative to a leather jacket, delivering the warming properties, but with a tailored fit.

Recreate Anita Rani's Spring-Ready Style

While there are a variety of spring jackets to wear with jeans that can really hold weight in spring capsule wardrobes, opting for a leather shirt like Anita’s makes for easy, one-and-done styling that gives a sleek, more streamlined look. Her shirt-come-jacket, which the star wore buttoned up, is easy to layer over a camisole and a polished way of elevating jeans for spring.

Wearing directional wide-leg jeans, Anita smartly kept her top half fitted, as this allowed the star to nip in her silhouette at the waist and balance out the wide-leg of her trend-led jeans.

Keeping her look muted and neutral, the black leather shirt was a versatile piece that Anita can wear throughout spring and then once again come autumn for instant style and polish.
