Spring Styling with Rose Horsfield

SPRING STYLING

Key Looks and Trends with Rose Horsfield from Pookie womenswear


In spring time we come out of hibernation and into realisation that maybe some spring cleaning is in order. Not only does nature take on a new fresh look but we ourselves search for those new looks to breathe life back into our wardrobes.

For those of you bored of the black and white monochrome look try a monochrome print. This can be more softening and edgy rather than hard block colours. This look works particularly well with tunic dresses either belted or loose and tops with stripe, polka dots and floral prints teamed with white or black trousers.

Neutrals and earthy tones are a key player giving a sophisticated edge to spring. This colonial look embraces linen and cotton dresses, tops and trousers in varying lengths, of which many styles are worn loose giving a laid back slouchy trend. Loose tunic shapes, shirt dresses and oversized jumpers worn with slim fitting trousers help create a more streamline look.

If neutral tones make you feel all washed out then jump on the wave of acid block colours. This 1980’s feel gives a fresh bright look to spring, but it is best to keep this strong acidic palette to tops and dresses and avoid the neon trouser look.

The trench coat remains a staple for spring and makes an appearance in classic beige, vibrant white, sombre black and shocking acid colours. So whether you wan to re-live the 80’s in neon brights or remain a classic queen a trench is must.

Metallics now not only reserved for the night time make a super- shine appearance into day wear as well. However, if metallic brings to mind the word “bling” then metallic bags are the safe option if you feel too high gloss, or go for metallic trim on hems and necklines.

Towards the end of the spring season Riviera chic sails in with the Marina look firmly at the helm of this summers looks. The white and blue stripe tops have definitely gone overboard from last season’s nautical look, leaving behind a more understated sophistication in shades of white, cream, navy and red.
