From cold to spring: how to transition from winter to spring with your Marcel
At the crossroads of the seasons, the Marcel becomes the ideal ally. Light and structured, it accompanies the transition from winter to spring with precision and elegance.
The end of winter isn't something you simply declare; it's something you embrace. The days are getting longer, the light is changing, and the temperatures are fluctuating. Your wardrobe, too, is searching for its balance between lingering warmth and newfound lightness.
In this subtle transition, certain pieces naturally stand out. The Marcel , with its simplicity and precision, becomes the ideal base for creating versatile outfits. Not too much, not too little. Just right.
What is a transitional garment?
A transitional garment is a piece capable of adapting to variations in temperature and pace. It can be worn alone or layered, complements other layers, and structures the silhouette without adding bulk.
Marcel ticks all the boxes:
- Close-fitting yet breathable.
- discreet under the mesh,
- elegant when it is revealed,
- durable, season after season.
Why is the Marcel ideal between winter and spring?
✦ 1. A smart thermal base
Worn under a sweater or overshirt, the Marcel acts like a second skin . It retains heat in the morning and allows the skin to breathe in the afternoon.
✦ 2. A slimmer silhouette
When coats disappear, the Marcel allows you to maintain a clean line, without unnecessary bulk.
✦ 3. A multi-purpose room
It adapts to the rhythm of the day: office, outdoors, indoors. One room, multiple possibilities.
How to wear a Marcel at the end of winter?
✦ Marcel + lightweight knit
Under a merino sweater or a thin cardigan, the Marcel enhances comfort without compromising the fit.
Tip: choose a white or ecru tank top to brighten up a dark knit.
✦ Marcel + overshirt
The overshirt in wool or thick canvas becomes the perfect alternative to the coat.
Marcel, whether visible or not, structures the whole.
✦ Marcel + open coat
When temperatures rise, wearing the coat open reveals the Marcel, a subtle contrast between winter and renewal.
When spring arrives: revealing the Marcel
✦ Marcel worn alone
With the first brighter rays of sunlight, the Marcel is sufficient on its own.
Paired with straight-leg trousers or raw denim, it conveys a minimalist elegance.
✦ Marcel + light jacket
Blazer, canvas jacket, short trench coat: the Marcel becomes the perfect base for a clean spring silhouette.
✦ Marcel + knit accessories
A light scarf or a thin hat prolongs the cold season while heralding spring.
