Jump into spring
With brighter days ahead of us, it's the perfect opportunity to spring clean both our wardrobe, style, and breathe new life into our daily routines.
It's almost with a sigh of relief that we exchange the heavy layers of winter and let them stand aside in favor of the pleasant and light spring/summer garments with brighter tones. As the sun appears with higher frequency, so does the energy and a certain anticipation that spring cleaning applies not only to our homes but also to our style and appearance. Here follows a guide to navigate the transition to spring with a sense of renewal and preparation for warmer days.
Elegance is not about being noticed,
it's about being remembered."

Start by organizing in the bathroom, clean out and restore order among shampoo, shower gel, conditioner, and other favorite items in the bathroom cabinet. Once that's done, a refreshing and energizing shower awaits to set the tone for the season. Then continue the routine by taking care of the details that define your style
Make sure your hair is properly combed. Running a comb through your hair is an effective way to enhance your look and also to care for your hair and scalp. A good comb is characterized by being flexible, durable, and having rounded teeth. The rounded teeth make less impact on the scalp, instead increasing blood circulation in your scalp, contributing to healthier and stronger hair strands.
Another tip if you're aiming for a natural finish and an easily styled hairstyle is to use a saltwater spray. Most saltwater sprays provide the hair with good structure and a matte and fresh expression. Additionally, the hairstyle is kept in place without compromising the hair's natural movement or volume.
During spring, it's especially important to give the skin the right conditions to face the sun's rays, which during this season tend to be strong and have a high UV index. Another factor that affects is that the skin has accustomed to a darker climate during the autumn and winter. This means that the skin hasn't produced protective pigment in the amount needed.
Keep this in mind when setting up your new skincare routine and adapt it to best build up the skin and its sun protection. Here are some tips on how to keep the skin protected, healthy, and supple:
- Use a facial cream with SPF
- Protect your lips with a balm that has SPF
- Be extra cautious when using skincare products containing acids like AHA, BHA, or other exfoliating ingredients.
Now that your skin is ready, it's soon time for the freshly pressed shirt. To keep yourself fresh all day, we recommend using a high-quality deodorant or antiperspirant. The last thing you want is to get yellow stains or to be reminded of sweat despite 'protection.' Even though we have a relatively cold climate, temperatures can quickly shift during this season, and heat can come when we least expect it.
Polish and style is a well-known saying, and when does it suit better than now? Having order in your style and leaving a good impression lies in the details, so leave nothing to chance. Bring out your Brogues and let them enjoy your care. It makes all the difference, we can assure you
Finally, a kickstart is in order. Round off your morning routine with a delightful espresso to give you the final touch on spring's fresh start.
