Striking a balance between comfort, chicness, and office decorum is no easy feat as temperatures begin to climb. Fear not, for Fearne Cotton has swooped in to save the day with the ideal trouser suit that’s not only perfect for the workplace but also versatile enough for evening dinners to spring nuptials. Taking to Instagram, Fearne shared her love for Joanie’s Jarvis Double Breasted Corduroy Blazer at £99, and the coordinating Richmond Corduroy Flared Trousers at £69, captioning her post: “Can’t stop wearing this suit.” READ MORE: Roman’s ‘lovely’ dress is ‘super flattering’ and can be worn at ‘fancy occasions’ READ MORE: Susanna Reid’s GMB floral dress is ‘selling like hot cakes’ as shoppers praise how ‘gorgeous’ it is Fearne has been seen rocking both the teal and rust versions of the ensemble on numerous outings, providing just the right amount of vibrant yet sophisticated colour ideal for sprucing up your spring attire.

Not to mention, the fabric blend of the Jarvis Blazer and Richmond Trousers is tailor-made for all-season wear. Composed of 99% organic cotton, it allows breathability in the heat, whilst its corduroy velvet texture adds the necessary weight and cosiness for chillier times. It also has a little elastane in it which gives it some stretch, keeping you comfortable even while sitting at your desk all day. The Jarvis Blazer has that timeless double-breasted design with a relaxed feel, while the Richmond Trousers boast a retro flared leg and a chic high waist. As for the Richmond Trousers, they currently only have one review, but it’s an impressive five-star accolade that reads: “I love these trousers so much. So comfy and smart, and I love this teal colour. I bought a size 18. They’re a good fit.” Fearne’s suit is available in sizes 8 to 26 in both items, sporting a regular fit – Joanie’s site recommends sticking to your usual size. And for those keen on specifics, the trousers come with a handy inside leg measurement of 74cm.

Over at Albaray, there’s been a major price cut on its stylish Burgundy Cord Jacket, slashed from £139 to just £65, and the matching Burgundy Cord Wide Leg Trouser now only £44, down from £89. Shoppers are loving this suit, with glowing praises such as: “It’s a gorgeous product, great quality, and the suit is not too warm so can be used all year around.” Not everyone’s into suits, of course, and if that’s you, then Boden has got you covered with an incredible selection of corduroy dresses and jackets. Radiating versatility, they’re available in an array of silhouettes – from midi dresses to shirt dresses and midi jackets – perfect to welcome spring, reports the Mirror.
