Forget Florals: Kickstart Your Spring Wardrobe with these 5 Bang-On Trends

Spring evokes a sense of renewal, reawakening and rejuvenation in our lives. The same can be said for our wardrobes. With a new season about to dawn it’s out with wintery layers and in with new Spring and Summer essentials.

When shopping for new Spring pieces to wear on high rotation, florals are without a doubt a go-to. However, for any fashion fanatic, when it comes to Spring fashion our mind instantly replays a particular movie scene with those infamous words.

“Florals for Spring? Ground breaking.”

Whilst florals are indeed a Spring staple, what’s trending on the Runway right now might surprise you.

Thanks to designers including MSGM, Stella McCartney and Ulla Johnson; Spring fashion has raised its street cred. Expect to see the revival of tie-dye, double denim and mini hemlines. Whilst off-the shoulder’s younger sister puffy sleeves is still making waves on the street style scene.
