Photographer Jamie Hawkesworth is on point with his shoot for W April 2014. The series features beautiful models with natural looks, dressed in cozy, draped fashion pieces. From turtle neck knit sweaters to long tasseled tops to snakeskin boots to oversized mesh tops, there's a theme of oversized clothes that works perfectly for this transitional season.
As winter comes to an end and spring arrives, the weather can be unpredictable. Garments like these that are airy and breathable, but made of cozy fabrics are the perfect way to dress for the season. Layering is also a great way to prepare for the weather and this series plays with the idea of it -- a model has the arms of a sweater tied around her neck.
Jamie Hawkesworth really captures the beauty of comfort and fashion keeps coming back to looks that are elegant yet casual.
