SPRING: THE LATEST FASHION

Think tailored shift dresses that hug the body without clinging and are perfect for a summer lunch or office outfit.

Sitting half way between your knee and ankle, the midi skirt looks great either fitted or flared with a blouse tucked-in.

For everyday chic, wear open over a singlet and skirt or wear buttoned and cinched at the waist with a thin belt for a night-out.

For a retro-inspired look, go for a denim bell-bottom and tee, or for something a little more sophisticated try a culotte.

Expect to see them with more of a boudoir feel featuring fabrics like silk and lace which when paired with a blazer make for a great special event outfit.

A timeless collared classic that will go with everything from chinos to denim.

Halfway between being both athletic and street, joggers are great for the weekends with a casual tee.

More is more, think hawaiian prints, with palms and bold colours. A bit of fun but not for the faint-hearted.

A wardrobe staple and all round workhorse. Wear under a blazer with denim for a stylishly laidback dinner outfit.

If joggers are the casual street essential then these are the more formal alternative if made in drill or suiting fabric.
