With spring in your step, let’s talk designer shake-ups and the biggest spring fashion trends of the season. Bottega Veneta and Chanel are calling it a day. Moreover, 80s fashion is back, and loud flower-power prints are everywhere. Strong shoulders have returned. Meanwhile, colour-pop capri pants — once known as pedal pushers — are being teamed with wind-funnel-neck jackets in the coolest colours at Saint Laurent.
Saint Laurent 26 Collection
The Saint Laurent 26 collection is my favourite this year. Indeed, the crisp cotton poplin blouse has an unmistakable Parisian edge. It is an icon outfit, featuring exaggerated shoulders, a low-cut front and a giant bow. The 26 biker jacket comes in a beautiful conker tone. Furthermore, it has balloon sleeves and fierce shoulder padding. Paired with a columned pencil skirt, it is a total knockout.
The retro shell windbreaker from Saint Laurent is clearly striking. As a result, it offers a smoking legacy. Indeed, it is the coolest thing on trend for spring and summer, and it delivers versatile style.
Silk Scarves
Silk scarves have always been a classic. For example, Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly wore them elegantly as headscarves. Meanwhile, modern celebrities like Rihanna let their scarves do the talking with graphic prints and a retro feel. Celine and Hermès remain forever favourites.
Capri Pants
Famously known in the late 90s, capri pants have made a significant comeback. Originally, they were designed in 1940 by Sonja De Lennant. Consequently, they are considered an alternative to shorts, bridging the gap between summer and fall. My top tip? Pop on a heel thong-style dainty sandal, and you will be hot to trot.
Pastel Palettes
Across the runways at Coperni, Chloé and Blumarine, soft shades appear everywhere. In addition, mint, lilac, butter yellow, sugar pink and beige are sure to enlighten. Think sunny days, refined tailoring and fabrics as fresh as a daisy. For more local style inspiration, discover NISHKI, Liverpool’s new fashion and beauty brand.
