Over winter? Us too. To make the wait for warm weather a little less painful, we want to share our favourite pieces from our new Spring ’12 collection with you--some of which have started to hit stores already!

 

We curated the perfect mix of silks, linens, cashmere and hand-washed denim in a colour palette of fresh sorbet hues, washed down pastels and saturated brights.

 

Click through to see a few of the outfits we can’t wait to wear when Spring (finally) arrives.

 

For the lucky ones jetting away somewhere hot—sport these looks on our behalf, we promise not to hate you for it.

Look to Wilfred this spring to experiment on the colour, print and textural fronts. From collarless blazers to silky dresses, loose-knit sweaters to pajama-inspired pieces, the collection is like a fresh breath of air—at once bright, youthful and optimistic.

Weather early spring chill in style with a must-have collarless blazer. Contrast the rich texture of this pure linen jacket by wearing it over a gossamer (and versatile) tunic dress.

Effortlessness is the name of the game with Wilfred Free this season. Easy-to-wear pieces in textural fabrics were treated to special garment, pigment and enzyme washes to give them the sunfaded, washed down look of having spent just a touch too much time outside.

Multi-coloured marled yarns are a spring knit obsession.
