It is perfect for men and women in almost every situation, so if you haven’t already sourced your spring jeans, this is a must-have for your wardrobe.

 


Turtle Necks

 

Believe it or not, turtle necks have spiked in popularity this spring, especially when worn under a jacket. Not only will they keep you warm on those windy days, but they will also make you look sleeker and more sophisticated.

Trench coats have been rising in popularity in the last year and have made a very trendy comeback just in time for spring fashion. They can be worn with pretty much anything and will always look amazing. With all the designs of trench coats available, there’s one for every person and style out there.

Traybake 

Traybakes are especially valuable to a student as they not only taste amazing, but they don’t require as much attention to make due to them being made in the oven.

Traybakes can also serve lots of people which means it’s wonderful when having people over for dinner.

 


 

Soup

stored soup tins usually stay in date for a very long time making them an ideal backup for student meals. They are also very inexpensive making this an excellent meal for everyone to have at least a few of in their household.

Fajitas are for those who may want something a little spicier and more interesting, they’re easy to whip up and perfect for any friend get-together.
