New year means a new season which means new trends! The high street is slowly filling up with fashions inspired by the Spring/Summer Runway. These are my 8 essential trends that you’ll need to get you through the season!
Ditsy Florals
Spring is always about the blossom and bloom, this year being no exception. The upcoming seasons trendiest floral patterns are vintage, understated ditsy prints. I love this button up midi dress from the Chelsea Girl Range at River Island, £25.
Graphic Print Heels
Photographic prints are going to be huge this season, whether it be on clothing or accessories. These particular heels are from Next, £38. They will be perfect for wedding season!
Monochrome Madness
Black and White stripes are EVERYWHERE… Balmain SS/13 Collection kicked off this trend which has exploded onto the high street. Zara have an amazing range of bold stripe workwear including blazers, blouses and knitwear. This dress is one of my favourites, and value for money buys from H&M, £19.99.
Gastronomical Galaxy Prints
Surfacing the high street in AW, and back with a bang for Spring, galaxy print seperates are a necessity for the season. Team perfectly with plain block colours for a stylish, casual look. These leggings are from Topshop, £22.
An apple a day…
The only bag to be seen on your arm for spring… the doctors bag. This ASOS number gets my vote.. classic black, real leather, and I love the zip around the base. ASOS, £75.
Statement Belts
As seen on Katy Perry, Jessie J and Rihanna, the statement belt is the only accessory you need to jazz up a bodycon dress or to dress up a daytime look. ASOS, River Island, Miss Selfridge and Topshop have all embraced this trend, my favourite being from River Island, £15.
Colour Block Heels
Nothing says summer like a bold, strappy, colourblock heel. These particular heels will update your AW Navy dress into a sophisticated summery look. Also available in other colours, River Island, £70.
True Blue
There’s always a colour that stands out from the rest each season, and this season there is a reason to be blue! I love the cut out shoulder detail on this particular dress, available from Miss Selfridge, £42.
