Blessed with the styles of spring. Milan, New York, London and Paris fashion week have provided us with some much-needed colour and inspiration to help us get through the tail end of winter.
Spring allows us to explore colour, print and cuts that we may not gravitate towards during the winter months. Here are some of the #trending styles we will see launch onto the high street in the coming months, and how to style these spring must haves.
Go for Glow
Last year we saw the spark in neon fashion, from slime green in street wear, to hot pink accessories. The neon trend is not slowing down anytime soon, with Jacquemus featuring fuchsias, and bright blues striking the runway. The neon trend is steering away from just casualwear and streetwear, being adapted into more tailored and formal cuts.
What I love about neon wear is that it can be masculine or very feminine, both factors that are super important in developing your personal style. For everyday neon wear, I would recommend styling and matching your accessories to act as a feature, giving an all-black outfit some extra oomph.
Here for Sheer
A slightly riskier trend to embrace us this season, perhaps not the most wearable in windswept Glasgow, however, for a more formal event, sheer clothing is a MUST. We have seen celebrities wear sheer gowns over award season from Doja Cat, to Scarlett Johansson. Perfectly placed embellishments and transparent panels were featured in the Grammys and the Oscars. Proving that although sheer may be conventionally daring, doesn’t take away from the elegance that can be portrayed.
If you hope to hop on this trend, sheer cut out dresses are everywhere, and sheer flares seem to be rising into popularity, as seen here by Balmain. Sheer clothing can also be layered to create the illusion of modesty, alongside adding depth to an outfit.
Tailoring
This trend has been around since the beginning of time and remains to be timeless. Unisex, androgynous and easy to personalise, Tailored clothing is a worthy investment. This spring, the catwalks have shown shoulder pads and shorts in replacement of trousers in suits. Both for men and women, gender does not apply to fashion, especially with tailoring. Vintage and charity shops have an amazing array of blazers and blouses, if you wish to be more sustainable and would like more affordable choices. Zara also offers a wide range in tailored choices, whether you prefer a fitted look, or a more comfortable oversized look.
You will be able to find something that suits you anywhere you shop. A plain black blazer should be a staple in everyone’s wardrobe, paired with jeans or a pencil skirt. The flavour is immaculate *chefs kiss*
Tailoring goes hand in hand with another trend this spring, that being shirts. Yes, plain white shirts were featured all over the runway in New York and Milan. I don’t know about you, but I will be raiding the men’s sale section in hopes of finding some flattering androgynous clothing.
Tears for Tiered Moments
Milan and Paris fashion week featured tiered dresses and skirts galore. My inner ballerina is free with this trend, layered tulle and flared tiered dresses and skirts are super chic and can be adapted to be super glamourous with heels and jewellery or made relatively casual with some chunky trainers and a graphic tee. Tulle and tiered clothing can often be quite daunting, as so much fabric can sometimes be overpowering.
Regardless, tiered skirts are a must over spring. Tiered clothing allows for much needed depth and movement to an outfit, which is guaranteed to spark a new sense of confidence you may not have witnessed before. Zara and ASOS are your best bets for finding these sorts of frills.
Spring is for colour and new things, so don’t be afraid to freshen your wardrobe up with some of these spring must-haves.
