SPRING’S key looks
SPRING is (or certainly was) here. So what should you be wearing? The big looks this season are a mercy for the fuller-figured woman – or anyone tired of the super-clingy and the drab. Instead, it’s all about floral graphic prints (Oasis, Ted Baker, Monsoon, Erdem, Louis Vuitton), colour blocking (Uniqlo, Benetton, Zara) and the 1970s – of which maxi dresses are the key component (these are everywhere, including Monsoon and M&S). Sarah Curran, founder and CEO of fashion site MyWardrobe, says: “Team a simple pink or orange t-shirt with a red pencil skirt or wide leg trousers, which can be worn with a bright jacket for the boardroom. To tone down this look, simply team a shift dress with a brightly coloured belt and jacket.” Simple and effective. Now we just need the sun to stay out.
