The days are longer, the clocks are about to go forward and the sun is shining. But, it's not quite time to dust off your pretty summer dress just yet.
Enter a trusty suit. According to fashion search engine Lyst, searches for “suits” have increased by 23 per cent in the last three months, and on the catwalks it was Giorgio Armani, Alexa Chung and Chanel making the case for spring/summer suiting.
This season it's about playful over power with feminine fitted mini skirts and experimental zebra prints being two stand-out trends.
From ice cream pastels to retro houndstooth, below are three sell-out suits to see you through until summer.
The Wild Card
A zebra-striped two-set instantly became the hero item of H&M's recently launched Studio Collection. The dramatic wide-leg trousers and matching straight-cut jacket are, unsurprisingly, selling out fast, so we suggest you hit 'add to shopping bag' as soon as you can.

The Retro Number
Ready to brave a bare leg? Mango's '70s-inspired mini skirt suit is the one for you.
Pair the pink houndstooth set with this season's must-have shoe, a pair of white boots, and you have yourself one hell of a groovy look.

The Beaut Bargain
Primark has created a £35 suit in one of the most popular hues of the season: pistachio.
The minty green is equally as flattering as last year's much-loved millennial pink, making it the new and improved perfect pastel for spring.
