Get Graphic
How to wear: Go bold or go home. Whether you prefer banknote-inspired
designs, or symmetrical swirls keep
accessories to a minimum and let the print shine.
Sheen Queen
How to wear: The trick to iridescent fabrics is to ground them with a simple neutral hue by day and a bold, solid colour by night.
Pencils Ready
How to wear: Ladylike and demure or sexy and
sophisticated, the pencil skirt is fashion gold. This season it takes
centre stage in clashing colourways and on-trend patterns.
Fluorescent Fashion
How to wear: Another trend sure to put off minimalists:
neon. Soften punchy pink or loud lemon with a sheer blouse for a
delicate effect. Or, embrace this statement-making rainbow and go
tone-on-tone with structural separates.
Bomber Redux
How to wear: Don't count out leather for spring. The
bomber is back with a modern fix: curved around the shoulders with added
volume, or cropped short and chic.
90s Nostalgia
How to wear: Unpack your baggy jeans, high-waisted
trousers and slip dresses, it's the return of the decade that brought us
grunge - with a shiny twist, of course. Smells like teen spirit, then!
White OutHow to wear: At the other end of the spectrum is a
spring/summer staple: white. Layer on fluid silhouettes for a draped
effect or keep it clean with crisp separates.
Bermuda Triangle
How to wear: With loose-fitting Bermudas, the key to sartorial success is proportion: oversized layers can look messy.
Sexy 60s
How to wear: Retro has never looked so good. Flower power
takes a decidedly more mature turn in the form of appliqué and Broderie
Anglaise. As for the shift dress, the hem is higher and the print
zanier than ever before.
Candy Stripers
How to wear: Vertical, horizontal or diagonal, there's no
way to avoid stripes for spring. Feeling adventurous? Break away from
black and white and try cherry, navy and grass-green lines this season.
