Do it in Stripes

Be bold and do it in stripes this SS16!

Go thick or thin, coloured or monochrome striped – just make sure to style up the trend and make impressions as they did on the runway. Straight-up contemporary splendour!

 

Why not get inspired by Ralph Lauren, coordinate your dress with red accessories and go nautical. Hello Sailor! (Ha!)

Bare the shoulders baby!

It’s a Halter-neck/Off-the-shoulder Combo.

Get those shoulders out on display and work it. This season the off-the-shoulder trend goes a different direction... Designers played with the style and added the halter-neck to the look. 

Love the different style. How très chic!?

Darlings, its fashion!

Go Logo-ed up!

So bold and snazzy!

Clashing prints is back and is still so crazy good! Why not wild it up? 

Go get creative and mismatch in style.

What a refreshing, pretty print to work into the spring season wardrobe. It was certainly hot on the designer runways from the likes of Paco Rabanne, Thakoon, Emilio Pucci.

Spring Fling Gingham

It returns with a beautiful breeze…

 One of the Spring favourites, the classic gingham print/checkered print would be great to get your hands on – in the form of maybe a halter-neck dress or loose trousers paired with a plain halter-neck top. Why not buy into the classic trend that has an added twist this season and pack it away for that weekend away, maybe wear it to a picnic afternoon or to a stylish brunch.

Go Silver 

Metallics take a shine this season – be sure to mirror the futuristic-inspired look with focus on the added glitz and shine embroidery, embellishment and stunning detail.

Wear and shine!
