Bumbags and head to toe denim not your thing? We discuss the spring trends you could wear and those that should be left on the catwalk.

Pastel lingerie with delicate embroidery

Pastel tones. Thank goodness, some lovely colours for spring. Pastel blues, yellows, pinks and purples are just what we need to lighten up our mood and to take our thoughts away from all the snow we’ve had! Though the colours remind us of being kids in the sweet shop, this look is definitely grown-up with tailored pieces and feminine ruffles, ruches and frills.  There’s some lovely pastel lingerie too.

Be style savvy and pull two trends off at once! The safari and military trends have certain similarities that can be used to make the most of your wardrobe, plus you probably don’t wish to look like you’re actually on safari or in the army. Khaki tailored trousers are the perfect base for both looks, add tribal inspired prints for the safari look and double breasted buttoning to hit the military trend.

This season shorts are just that, short! But on the bright side it’s just the motivation we need to stick at the gym as the only accessory to wear with short shorts are tanned, toned legs! Why not try a pair of tailored shorts instead of a skirt for an evening out? Or for the casual look, softer looser fitting shorts in white or grey with flats work great if you’re off for some summer sun, we might be waiting a while though here before it’s warm enough to even think about shorts!

Beige and sophisticated nudes. Beige believe it or not is THE colour at the moment, and not just where clothing is concerned, there are beige shoes, beige handbags and even beige nail polish. You get the picture, nudes are also big news. So anything in a pink, grey or peachy shade in a sheer fabric is a sure thing in the style stakes.

Underwear as outerwear is still a key look for spring. Wear your best bra under a sheer top to keep it classy and try to keep the colours matching for a more subtle look. Our new early spring collection features some great sets in pastel shades, perfect to pull off this look!
