What not to throw away in your
wardrobe clearout this season…
So, with Winter nearly behind us and the new Spring/Summer Collection hitting high street shops as we speak, that time of year is looming when you sort your wardrobe out; whether that’s ‘changing’ your wardrobe over or simply having a clearout to make way for some new items.
But stop!! Don’t go any further until you have read on to find out what you can keep in your wardrobe heading into Spring that are, infact, carrying on from Autumn/Winter 2011. Throwing those away would be simply a disaster.
1. Pencil Skirts
They’re here for the long run!! The pencil skirt is staying…and the word on the street is ‘the tighter the better’! The pencil skirt and stiletto look creates a curvacious slimming (yes that is possible!) look all you young professional looking to make an impact. It, however, is one of the most versatile fashions- adding a touch of femininity and elegance to any occassion. An absolute wardrobe must have for 2012!!!
2. Maxis and Minis
Heading into Spring, it’s all about extremes- you need to choose one way or the other…are you going long? or short? Of course, if you can’t decide…why not have one of each. What the fashion experts are saying WON’T be a hit is mid, calf length styles. There are some fab styles in all the major high street retailers already, we really don’t think you’ll be spoilt for choice this season…and if you keep reading, we’ll even tell you the colours you may want to keep an eye out for!
3. Ankle Socks
The ankle sock is staying for a fourth season! And it looks fabolous with a mini skirt or short shorts, some killer heels. Bonus? They’ll keep your toes warm on those slightly cooler Spring days! One tip though, this fashion will only work if your footwear is chunky, heels high and straps intricate and strappy. Wearing them with flat sandals is a no go!
4. Over sized hats
Following on from our Autumn/Winter post about hats, they’re staying! Or, the oversized ones, anyway. This fashion trend wasn’t born on the catwalk, instead our favourite celebs and stylistas on the street set this craze going. This style covers oversized trilby’s, 70′s floppy and the off beat boater and is the perfect accessory for any Spring/Summer day- whether it’s to shelter you from the rain or keep the sun out of your eyes!
5. Colours to Keep
And the good news…there is a whole host of colours that you can keep wearing too! Amongst them include:
Pastel Mixes- this season is all about layering pastel shadestogether and making yourself notably like an ice cream sundae…with, all the tastiness and scrumminess of one, but of course without the cherry on top.
Neons- Whether it’s shocking pink, aqua, lime or yellow, team your neons with neutral colours such as camel, beige or brown to brighten your Spring look.
Gold- Back to the 70′s! This Egyptian, strikingly bright gold colour is back in a big way! This colour can be worn for pretty much any occassion- whether its partying, going out for dinner or adding a splash of ‘something’ to your work outfit
Yellow-The colour with all the dimensions!! Yellow comes in lemon, neon, dark, light, daisy…and the list goes on. It adds the perfect lift to any Spring/Summer wardrobe and looks great with a tan!
So, we hope that’s enough to keep you going until we have some Spring/Summer trends to update you with! We’d love to hear what you think, and if there are any more trends you want to keep in your wardrobe from last year…
