Spring in your Step !

You can kiss your winter blacks goodbye – they’re not needed here. This spring, it’s all about pastels, brown and cream.

The bandana is spring’s accessory du jour and the perfect way to top off an otherwise all-white look. Floaty balloon pants and a long-sleeved blouse in matching silky jacquard show a love of texture and detail.

Pastel pink and light brown wait all year to be paired together in spring. Keep hair and makeup neutral, and add gold to the ears and wrist.

Mini shorts and a matching cardigan are an unexpected pairing. The wide collar and polka dot print take it out of “Are they pyjamas?” territory.

Silk and chiffon answer spring’s call for light layers. Experiment with gladiator sandals tied over your pants, and go for big jewellery.

Acid-wash brown denim with a semi-sheer one-shoulder zebra print top; it’s a little bit western, a little bit wild and a whole lot of fun.

The millennial belt gets a cool-girl upgrade when it sits low on the hips over a drop-waist maxi dress. Show some skin, and keep the look relaced with aviator-style sunnies and suede moccasins.

Make an entrance in a ruffled blouse, snake print jeans, oversized sunnies and an equally daring attitude. Go bold or go home.
