The best of trends - Spring 2015

Hello everyone,

Today's post is going to be a bit different to what I have been posting previously, but I would love to know what you think of this style of post, so I know whether to do more in the future. I recently joined a website named 'LOOKBOOK' which, if you don't know, is a sort of variation of Instagram, only for fashion (my username is 'Minuette Blogs'). I was scrolling through my feed on there this morning, and noticed a lot of the same looks coming through. I did some research, and came up with this list of my favourite trends for this spring, which I thought you would like to see. Enjoy...

 

Metallics - Metallics were big in the '70s and '80s, and now they are making a comeback. The new metallics aren't tacky, but I would not suggest buying a full skirt made of a metallic material, other than that they do add a little glamour and glitz to an otherwise plain outfit.

Yellow - While loads of you may be thinking 'ugh yellow, I'm not even going to attempt to pull that off' (and I must say that I did agree), it is very easy to slip in yellow as part of an outfit, to give it a burst of colour. I often find that it works best with an otherwise monochrome outfit (Hint: find a top with bees on it).

Gingham -  When it comes to gingham, there is a huge range - from huge squares, to tiny tartan patterns - and while there was a lot of plaids and tartan in the autumn, this spring it's just about the tiny check. The best part? It gives us all an excuse to wear a tiny summer dress like in primary school! And, yes guys, I'm still loving the peter-pan collars...

Corals - Another thing that I have been noticing a lot of this Spring is Corals and Pastel Pinks. Personally I love these colours as I feel they have a really summery 'vibe'. Despite saying this I don't own many clothes in these colours, but I do think they look great in bags.

Lace - I'm sooo glad that this fashion is in right now because I am obsessed with lace. I know that it is not to everyone's taste, but I always think it brings out the pretty 'girly' girl in everyone - especially in pale colours such as baby pink, and white. I you wanted a more sophisticated look a darker colour looks great too (mainly red, navy, and black).

Pastel Coats - I recently bought the coat on the right from New Look and have been loving it. I find at this time of year that there are some days when it's just not warm enough to go out without a coat on. However I still like to pretend that it's warm, and a formal pastel coat is great for doing just that. I'm guessing that this is because of the pale colours, so of you are going for a more wintry look, a dark coloured (such a burgundy) may work better.
