Trends to watch





Trends to watch




I advise all my clients that being stylish doesn't mean being a slave to fashion. However every season there are some trends which I think are worth trying out and can be a fabulous addition to your wardrobe. So here are my top picks of the latest collections which I think are going to be key pieces now, carrying through until autumn.

Flatforms
A cross between a wedge and a flat, these give you the extra inches and elegance of a heel, but the foot-saving comfort of a pump. Featuring on the Spring/Summer catwalks of Prada and Alexander Wang, these easy to wear beauties are ultra trendy and I love Zara's very wearable high street take on the look. Wear with maxis or shorts for the summer and substitute in skinny jeans for a rocking autumn outfit.

Midi skirts
This hem line is really feminine and flattering. Channel your inner 50's siren in a pleated or a-line midi - not only are these flattering for the shapely calves you all work so hard to achieve but they are a more sensible length for autumn. But beware, unless you are super fashion forward, a midi and flats can look a little frumpy so wear with killer heels to avoid the school nurse look!!

Reptile prints
Reptile is the new leopard don't you know. Animal prints accessories or shoes are a perennial favourite for spicing up an outfit and now there is a new show in town. Reptile! Scarves, shoes and dresses in a snake skin print are going to be big this Autumn/Winter, so why not get on board early and give it a spin this summer. But remember, like their furry predecessors, top to toe reptile is not a good look. When it comes to animal print of any sort less is always more!!

Asos Dress £49.99

White blazers
This summer we have seen A-listers glam up their looks by adding a white blazer or jacket. In either a fitted, cropped or boyfriend cut, these light cover-ups are sure to give a bit of tailored class to any outfit. I wear mine all the time, thrown over everything from skinny jeans to silk dresses. And it’s a look that is appearing in some transitional collections on the high street, suggesting it will be hanging around until early autumn. This tuxedo style from Mango is next on my shopping list!
