Dear All,

It’s official: spring/summer ‘07 is now upon us. The sun is shining, the weather is hotting up (at last!) and we’re slowly but cautiously starting to bare our pale and pasty limbs to the world. If you haven’t already chosen which spring trends you’re going to introduce to your wardrobe, look out for Trend Watch on the run up to summer, giving you hot spring/summer fashion advice ensuring you’ll feel suitably stylish when the sun is shining!

QUICK TIP: To perfect your nautical-inspired look, invest in a tailored pair of shorts (choose white, black or cream)– they’re flattering and wonderfully versatile, taking you from beach to bar.

THE WOMEN’S FASHION BAROMETRE OF COOL: SPRING

Women’s Fashion LOVES: The comeback of ultra-feminine, springtime chic in the form of floral prints, pretty bias cuts and lashings of flirty frills. Look for pale, creamy colours, faded floral prints and vintage-inspired lace detail for a truly romantic spring vibe.

Women’s Fashion LOATHES: The jacket dilemma. Officially it’s summertime but it’s still a tad cold out there – do we brave the chill and leave the coat at home or risk taking it and suffering spring stickiness by noon? We hate fashion frenzies that make us late for work.
