Spring Summer trends

PALM SPRINGS: Think vivid colours, retro prints and beach towel fabrics. Top pick is a bold leafy print paired with colourful accessories.

FRINGING:New Major statement fringing swishes across necklines, hemlines, bags and more. It’s the perfect match for a statement high-rise short and summer accessories.

PASTELS: Lilac is the colour of SS18. Look for main pieces that are loose and flowing or accessorise with lilac accents. Colour-blocking is easy and a great way to stand out.

CRAYOLA BRIGHTS: Make tomato red your new best friend. A statement piece such as a jumpsuit will work with your basics for an updated look.

ALL-WHITE FOR SPRING RACING: It’s easy to experiment with volume, shape and texture when you opt for all white. Add a pop of colour with an accessory. White and tan always work and are the picture of sophistication this season.
