What to Wear in March: The Landau Spring Edit
March sits in an awkward spot. The worst of winter is behind you but it is not warm enough to abandon layers entirely — and British weather being what it is, you can go from mild and sunny to cold and blustery within a single afternoon. The key is having the right pieces in rotation rather than overhauling everything at once. Here is what we have been reaching for at Landau this month.
1. The Right Outer Layer
The heavy winter coat can go to the back of the wardrobe. March calls for something you can actually move in — a jacket that handles the cold when it bites but does not have you overheating the moment the sun comes out.
Two Carhartt WIP jackets are worth knowing right now. The OG Active Jacket is made from heavyweight organic cotton Dearborn Canvas with a diamond-quilted lining — proper warmth and durability in a classic WIP silhouette. The American Script Jacket is the lighter option, a zip-up fleece-backed sweat jacket that sits naturally over a hoodie or tee without adding bulk.
- Carhartt WIP OG Active Jacket — Black Stone Canvas
- Carhartt WIP American Script Jacket — Teide
- Carhartt WIP Warren Chore Jacket
For days that demand more from your outerwear, the North Face Hydrenalite Down Jacket is the pick — recycled down fill, insulated hood, light enough to pack away but warm enough to handle late March temperatures.
2. Upgrade Your Basics
As the layers thin out, the quality of your t-shirts and sweatshirts starts doing more of the work. This is the time to sort that out rather than waiting until summer.
Colorful Standard is where we would start. Every piece is made from 100% organic cotton, garment-dyed in a range of colours that feel properly considered — oyster grey, steel blue, optical white. The quality is immediately noticeable and they wash and wear better than most basics at the same price.
- Colorful Standard Classic Organic Tee — Oyster Grey
- Colorful Standard Classic Organic Tee — Steel Blue
- Colorful Standard Long Sleeve Tee — Optical White
- Colorful Standard Women's Light Organic Tee — Soft Yellow
- Colorful Standard Organic Oversized Hood — Faded Grey
For a heavier sweat layer, the Carhartt WIP Script Logo Hoodie remains one of the best in the market — heavyweight brushed cotton-poly, loose fit, built to last years rather than seasons.
- Carhartt WIP Script Logo Hoodie Mens — Sorrent / White
- Carhartt WIP Script Logo Hoodie Mens — Dark Navy
- Carhartt WIP Script Logo Hoodie Womens — Black / White
- Carhartt WIP Script Logo Hoodie Womens — Squid / Glassy Pink
3. Sort Out Your Denim
Spring is the natural moment to reassess your jeans. If your winter pairs are looking tired, replace them now rather than waiting until you actually need them.
Dr. Denim is our go-to at this price point — Scandinavian construction, considered washes that age well, and fits that work for most body types. For women, the Donna High Relaxed in Stream Dark Fade Vintage is a strong pick right now — wide-leg, high-rise, dark vintage wash.

For a more relaxed trouser option, the Carhartt WIP Landon Pant in heavyweight Robertson denim sits perfectly between a casual jean and a workwear trouser — excellent with a tee and trainers.
4. The Right Trainers for the Season
March weather means you want a trainer that handles damp pavements without looking like a hiking boot. Two models stand out from our New Balance range right now.
The New Balance 530 is the most versatile option — the chunky ABZORB sole, the mesh upper, the retro 90s running DNA. It works with jeans, wide-leg trousers and everything in between. White colourways are strong for spring.
- New Balance 530 Mens — White with Natural Indigo
- New Balance 530 Mens — White Silver Metallic
- New Balance 530 Womens — White with Natural Indigo
- New Balance 530 Womens — Black / Castlerock
The New Balance 327 is bolder — the oversized N, the trail lug outsole, the 70s silhouette. If you want a trainer that carries an outfit rather than quietly supporting it, the 327 is the one.
- New Balance 327 — Light Arctic Grey
- New Balance 327 Mens — White / Black
- New Balance 327 — Castlerock with Timberwolf
5. Think Ahead on Footwear
The Birkenstock Boston is worth getting now before the sun actually arrives. The suede clog silhouette, the contoured cork footbed — it is the spring and summer shoe that works with denim, wide-leg trousers and everything in between, and the best colourways go fast once the weather turns.
6. Shorts — Earlier Than You Think
April comes around faster than expected. Lyle & Scott and Carhartt WIP both have strong shorts options in right now, and the better ones sell out quickly once the weather changes.
- Lyle & Scott Everyday Shorts — Dark Navy
- Lyle & Scott Everyday Shorts — Jet Black
- Lyle & Scott Taped Interlock Sweatshorts — Dark Navy
- Carhartt WIP Simple Shorts — Blue Stone Washed
- Carhartt WIP Simple Shorts — Blue Light True Washed
- The North Face Coordinates Shorts — Black
The March Edit in Short
A Carhartt WIP American Script Jacket over a Colorful Standard tee, Dr. Denim jeans and a pair of New Balance 530s covers most of March without overthinking it. Add a Script Logo hoodie underneath on the colder days.
