This time of year is perfect for bagging yourself a bargain and with careful planning, picking up that little something that make the trans-seasonal leap. As the stores finalise their sale period and bring in the new season offerings, we give you a few tips for the key pieces to look out for to make you both on-trend now and fashion forward for next season.
The Patterned Dress: Buy only dresses with that standout wow factor. Choose vintage prints and psychedelic accents for a perfect homage to the sixties trend.
Middles Get Belted: If you have a waist, then get cinching to create that hourglass figure. Use yours to refresh a summer frock now and cinch your winter coat later.
Pale Pink: Probably the easiest trend to wear now, this spring/summer pastel hue is set to carry you through Autumn/Winter.
Zips: Designers have gone mad for functional clothing with strict silhouettes and structured looks.
Strappy Pointy Flats: The new shoe shape has arrived. Pointed flats for AW14 style come with strappy details, from classic Mary-Jane to T-bars and cross front straps. It’s your new shoe BFF.
