I found the perfect outfit for spring showers from TK Maxx and it’s up to 75% below retail
SPRING’S arrival in the UK means showers are coming, so waterproof your wardrobe and get up to 75% off on fab finds at TK Maxx.
They’ve got everything to get you through to summer, with rainy-day essentials, like showerproof macs, umbrellas and wellies.
The TK Maxx website has a huge selection of clothes, gifts, homewares and more from the world’s top designer brands that you can peruse at your leisure.
At this time of year, the weather is always unpredictable and while warmer days are ahead, we’ve still got lashings of rain to come.
See it as an opportunity to go and have fun splashing in puddles, breathing in the scent of rain-soaked grass and enjoying the charm of walking in the countryside.
Waterproof boots will keep your feet dry, while stylish macs will add an elegant touch to your spring outfit and bright umbrellas will bring a smile to your day.
Layering is the way to go when the weather’s so unpredictable. Think long-line cardigans, which are perfect for the office as they look chic and are easy to dispense with when the temperatures rise.
In the evening, snuggle up at home in a cuddly hooded jumper, or wrap yourself in a warm throw to keep out the chill.
TK Maxx also stocks a range of scented candles to add light and fragrance to the still-dark evenings, perfect for a romantic night in.
Don’t let the storm clouds darken your day – or your mood. Head to the shopping giant’s website and bag those bargains to give you a boost and have you smiling to the bank. Here are some of the best deals from the site.
- Beige and Black Stripe Jumper,
£55£29.99 – buy here
This roll-neck jumper is casual enough for weekends while being smart enough for the office. The beige and black colourway looks great paired with black trousers and a cream or black tote.
It’s made from a blend of manmade and synthetic fibres – the wool and alpaca content adds extra warmth for chilly days, while the polyester and nylon bring durability to the knit.
Available in a range of sizes from XS to XL, the jumper is also machine washable.
And who doesn’t love a roll neck – great for hiding wrinkles and for snuggling into when you’re having a bad day?
- Burgundy Puffer Gilet,
£160£39.99 – buy here
For the days when you don’t think you need a coat, but it’s not quite warm enough to go without one – opt for a gilet instead.
You won’t overheat or feel too cold either, especially with a padded design like this one.
They’re ideal if you’re active outside because your arms aren’t restricted by coat sleeves, giving you the freedom to move around.
The epitome of country chic, this gilet is insulated against the cold and has a high neck for extra warmth, as well as two zipped pockets for essentials such as phones and keys. Burgundy is an ideal transition colour from winter to spring and this dark shade will go with most everything.

- Black Double Button Fastening Mac, £69.99 – buy here
Nothing says April showers like a mac and a double-breasted version feels spring smart.
This one has two rows of buttons and a wide buckled belt to cinch you in at the waist, as well as a generous lapel and the de rigueur storm flaps (also known as gun flaps). Pockets on each side are great for keeping your hands warm on windy walks.
And choosing black means you’re covered no matter what you wear as it goes with everything.
Available to fit sizes XS to XL.
- Brown Open Cardigan, £54.99 – buy here
Long coat-like cardigans were made for warmer days and this one is perfect office wear.
The style is loose yet classic, with a deep shawl collar and large patch pockets to the front. Long sleeves will keep you warm in the spring air, and if it gets warm, you can simply remove your cardigan as it’s lighter to carry than a coat.
This one is made from 60% viscose and 40% rayon; it’s dry clean only but we think that’s a price we’d pay for something so smart.
Available in sizes 10 to 16.
- Soft Pink Daisies Day Pakr Backpack,
£50£24.99 – buy here
Spring has sprung and daisies are everywhere, raising their pretty heads to the strengthening sun. Do your bit to rejoice in the new season with this pink daisy backpack, which is beautiful as well as practical.
The main compartment opens up to reveal a laptop sleeve, as well as enough space for your gym gear. The back and adjustable shoulder straps are padded for comfort.
Two side pockets give you space for your water bottle or umbrella, and there’s a zipped security pocket on the back for cards, and a full-width zipped pocket on the front for essentials you want close to hand.
- Red Original Tall Wellies,
£100£39.99 – buy here
Take advantage of our April showers and jump in those puddles in these vibrant red wellies. They’re tall so the rainwater isn’t going to get inside and waterproof.
The thick soles have chunky ridges for great grip in the mud – so they’ll also come in useful for summer festivals where the weather has a habit of being less than summery.
Synthetic linings add to the comfort factor and pull tabs at the back help with putting them on.
Available in sizes 3 to 8.
- Black Weather Resistant Trousers
£65£29.99 – buy here
You want something like this if you’re a keen walker and heading out for a hike in spring. That said, they’re also ideal for walking the dog on a rainy morning.
These weather-resistant trousers will help keep you dry when the heavens open. They’re made from 100% nylon and are lined with 100% polyester mesh.
The elasticated waistband makes for maximum movement and flexibility, while the press stud fastenings on the legs are easy to open and close. If you get too warm, simply open a couple of buttons to ventilate your legs.
Available to fit UK sizes 8 to 20.
- Pink Hannah Lightweight Outdoor Jacket,
£150£44.99 – buy here
A lightweight jacket is essential during unpredictable spring days and this jacket fits the bill – it’s easy to wear and easy to carry, the hood is detachable for when the weather’s warmer and the fabric is waterproof.
It has a full front zip fastening and a high neck that stays close against you to keep out the rain or lies flat, like a collar, when the zip is loosened.
There are also two practical zipped pockets, one on each side, so you’re not going to lose the contents while you’re walking.
Available in UK sizes 12 to 18 and made from 100% machine washable polyester.
- Multicoloured Stripe Umbrella,
£7.99£6 – buy here
Add colour to your rainy days with this zingy striped umbrella. The bright shades are sure to bring a smile to your face while your hairdo stays protected from the elements and your clothes stay dry.
There’s a strap on the handle for keeping the umbrella safely around your wrist and this also velcro fastens around the brolly itself when not in use to keep it neat. Once it’s dry simply pop it into your handbag or tote ready for the next downpour.
The canopy measures 75cm in width and the height is 50cm.
- Grey Terradora II Mid WP Walking Boots,
£125£49.99 – buy here
A good pair of walking boots is a must in spring when one minute you might be traversing dry tracks and the next wading through muddy grass.
Happily, these boots are waterproof so your feet will stay dry and the upper is lined for comfort, while the mesh knit allows your feet to breathe.
Chunky soles help you stay upright in slippery conditions and the lace fastenings mean you can wear the boots as tightly – or as loosely as you wish. A pull-on loop at the back helps with getting them on and off.
They’re available to fit sizes 2.5 to 9 so you can guarantee a good fit.
