If you care about fashion, and who doesn’t want to look good, you need a distillation of what appeared on the Spring catwalks and will turn up in the High Street in the next few months.
What’s hot this spring?
Preppy styling is fighting with the biker look – in other words, classic USA looks have been storming the catwalk, possibly as a result of the election of the new American president.
What does this mean in fashion terms?
For men and women there are some signature elements in common. Show your free spirit in white tops, which have been this year’s big hit – worn under dark denim, or with grey sweats, the plain white T-shirt or white sweatshirt is a must have item.
Leather and suede, a la cowboy look, are everywhere too – as are fringes: on bags for women and on boots for men. Other big trends were bright colours, especially clear blues, and colour contrasts such as yellow with purple or green with pink. Crumpled shirts are big for men (so you can forget the iron, isn’t that great?) worn over T-shirts with metallic elements like glam rock chains. Lots of stripes turned up on casual wear this year, with arm stripes on polo-shirts predominating.
