If there's one season that requires a refreshed wardrobe it's spring. After the darkness of winter, spring arrives with new hope and a need for new foundations; it's away with the wool, and welcome to the lightweight cotton. When it comes to spring staples, you'd do worse than starting your search with Standard Cloth, the label designed exclusively for Urban Outfitters.

Standard Cloth is positioned somewhere between a purveyor of high-quality staples and an up-to-date, finger-on-the-pulse experimentation label. That’s a pretty useful niche to occupy. From classic flannels through to loud acid-wash and tie-dye sweats, the sub-label presents a budget-friendly way to stock your wardrobe with the season’s top silhouettes and styles with minimal fuss.

As many retailers look to snatch a piece of the market, Standard Cloth stands out as one of the more rounded, confident collections each season. So we thought it was high time we shone a light on the best bits.

Although the tie-dye wash effect takes center stage, we think that the true beauty of this pair of technical jogging bottoms lies in the details. Elastic toggles to the ankles offer a customizable fit while external slant pockets and a waist tie bring a workwear vibe.
