After months of entertaining ourselves indoors, the news that pub gardens and dining al fresco is reopening for spring couldn’t come quick enough.
If you’re anything like us then your social outings this year will so far have consisted of a trip to the supermarket with a new face mask, so to say we’re a little out of practice is an understatement.
However, there’s no need to panic because we’ve had a helping hand from our retailers here at the Bridges and found the perfect items to help you dress to impress from the 12th April.
New Look, Green Gingham Ruched Tea Dress
After spending so much of the last year in loungewear, we can’t wait to have an excuse to dress up again. There are plenty of summer dresses hitting the shops at the moment and you can dress them up or down by adding tights, jackets and choosing between heels or flats.

River Island, Grey tortoise shell aviator sunglasses
We’re hoping for sunny weather so protect your eyes from the sun’s rays with a new pair of sunglasses. Keep them simple and versatile or go for a daring, bright colour to make them a statement piece.

River Island, Beige RIR embossed satchel bag

You look good when you feel good, and a new fragrance could be exactly what you need to put a little more confidence back in your step. Play it safe with an old favourite or take a risk with one you haven’t tried before.
