Summer is just around the corner (an afternoon of sunshine makes us think so) and it’s time to decide which new season’s trends to invest in. Nothing says Spring Fashion like a bomber jacket.
Fortunately, we’ve rounded up the top five pieces you need to give your current collection the springtime it desperately needs.
-
Bomber jacket
Previously only reserved for military pilots, the bomber jacket is now the coat du jour fashion. Whether it’s silk or embroidery, you can dress it up in a cocktail dress or style it in a loose T-shirt and mom jeans for an effortlessly cool look.
-
Slip dress
This one comeback that should never have left in the 90s. The slip dress has the power to be the hardest working piece in your wardrobe. Go all-out grunge and pair with strappy boots, or layer over a jumper on cooler days when the weather can’t decide what to do.
-
Ankle boots
Unconvincing You can wear ankle boots Last March? Think again. All you need is that all-important ankle slit and you can wear it with anything from skirts to dresses and jeans. Go for metallics, Westerns, 70s suede or snake prints for a new season refresh.
-
Ruffled blouse
Don’t worry, we’re not talking ’80s meringue frills here, to be precise delicate ruffles that echo period romance. It all boils down to the feminine mood of today’s fashion. Work on trend with a peplum or subtle cuffs, but off-the-shoulder versions score the most style points.
-
Pleated skirt
Forget the back-to-school style, the pleated skirt just got a makeover. The midi is a long way to go because it’s demure and flattering but the way more edgy than mini. Pair it with a light knit on a cooler day, or a silk camisole for when the sun decides to (finally) show up.
