BETHAN SMITH SPRING SUMMER 2019 OUTERWEAR TRENDS
Light-Weight Shell Jacket “Tapping into two trends at once, the shell jacket roots itself in the practicality of athleisure while nodding to 1980s styling. Rounded, voluminous silhouettes are key to updating the look, with contrast panels and zipped pockets lending a sportif vibe. Bright, tonal colourways work well for the young women’s market, while single-tone variations look timeless and chic. Drawstrings offer both practicality and styling kudos; apply at the waistline to nip in the silhouette or at the wrist to add extra volume.” - WGSN S/S 19 Outerwear “While still essential, moving and fluid fabrics are changing identities. The most frequently mentioned synthetic suitings have smooth even lustrous surfaces.” - Glazed Supleness, Jackets and Ensembles, Premiere Vision S/S 19 Image Sources: - Sainsburies TU - Tesco F&F - K-Way Leon - Topshop - Isabel Marant

Garden florals are embroidered on the enlarged cuffs and back centre panel. Fabric & detail: canvas with embroidered design Market: women and young women Drop: mid-spring and festival” - WGSN S/S 19: Jackets & Outerwear “The buyers’ favourite motifs for spring summer 19 constitute a hybrid garden, where vegetation is altered by graphics.
