Spring is fast approaching and although the weather is still dreary, these top trends for the
spring season are sure to brighten up your wardrobe.
|
| |
|
70s Revival
|
| |
|
Designers such as Marc Jacobs, Gucci and Louis Vuitton have channelled Yves Saint Laurent's iconic
70s glam look in their spring collections for a modern take on 70s style.
|
| |
|
Think boho chic, gypsies, vibrant colours, colour blocking, peasant tops, long skirts, high-waisted
denim, wide leg trousers, wrap dresses, and eclectic floral prints.
|
| |
|
Must-Haves: a flared or high waisted pant, peasant blouse with metallic accessories.
|
| |
|
Shanghai Nights
|
| |
|
Take a journey to the Far East and experience all that the orient has to offer. Designers such as
Louis Vuitton captured an east-meets-west look with silk, kimono sleeve tops and dresses, obi
belts and Mao collars. The vibrant colours of Japanese floral prints lend an exotic twist to a
modern look.
|
| |
|
Must-Haves: silk blouse in a rich colour and a obi belt.
|
| |
|
Stripes
|
| |
|
Stripes are the must have print of the season. Nautical stripes in white and blue are a staple,
however, go bold or go home is a common theme this spring. Try vertical or horizontal, in an array
of colours such as Jil Sander's candy stripes in pink or Prada's combination of pink and orange.
Either way, these stripes will command attention. The bolder the line and colour, the better!
|
| |
|
Must-Have: a double breasted striped blazer and a striped pullover.
|
| |
|
The Midi Skirt
|
| |
|
Put that mini skirt to the back of your closet and welcome the Midi Skirt. Hemlines have dropped
below the knee thanks to Chanel, Lanvin and Chloe. Whether fitted or flowy, this trend will suit
all ages.
|
| |
|
Must-Have: a flowy, easy breezy style skirt in chiffon that hits mid-calf or slightly below
the knee. Be sure to pair this style skirt with a fitted top to keep a slim, clean silhouette.
